End of line QC system

Ravenwood Packaging has unveiled the VXR, combining vision, x-ray and seal check technology. It provides an all inclusive process for the seamless production of sleeving, contaminate detection and sealing of trays.

These three technologies fall under the operation of just one machine, incorporated into just 1.9m.

“Supermarkets are demanding improved quality, 100% error-free labelling and reduced costs – placing increased pressure on suppliers,” says Paul Beamish, founder and managing director of Ravenwood Packaging. “The new VXR machine will not only meet these demands, but will outperform manual operations for a fully streamlined process.”

The key functionality of the VXR system, when combining the three technologies, is to identify and reject food trays that are seen to contain errors. Ravenwood’s VXR will solve these issues with ‘Sapphire’ carbon nanotube field emission technology, a leading technology in the field of x-ray, promising low energy and high speeds and resolution.
