Trio

Overview

The Trio is Peco InspX’s high performance rigid package X-ray inspection system, with impressive performance in glass-in-glass identification. The Trio offers very high speed (> 1,000 containers per minute) non-contact container inspection.

The Trio leverages three X-ray beams powered from a single X-ray tube to provide 3 individual “looks” at each container, which allows optimal detection of asymmetric pieces of foreign material such as glass shards.

Customers are encouraged to consult with a Peco InspX sales specialist to determine which machine is best suited for their glass application.

Features

Modular Design

All subsystems have been designed with the maximum system availability, redundancy, and fault tolerance in mind

Fill Level Measurement

High precision fill-level and headspace monitoring

Real-Time Remote Support

Integrated wireless connectivity allows for secure remote support 24/7 globally. Peco InspX can resolve over 95% of customer issues with our powerful remote diagnostics software

Robust IT Security

Fully integrated end-to-end IT security offerings ensure your networks aren’t vulnerable and are defended from any outside threats. Optional IoT module allows for seamless SCADA integration

Advanced X-ray Tube/Detector Design

High contrast X-ray tube with independent power supply allows for lowest cost of ownership. Detector hardened against wear to maximize the component lifetime

High Reliability Non-Contact Inspection

Mounts over the top of the customer’s existing conveyor, eliminating conveyor transfers into the machine for inspection. This design minimizes risk against conveyor jams over transfer points

3 Beams Powered by a Single X-ray Tube

The Trio offers the power of 3 X-ray beams with the simplicity of a single X-ray tube. This design offers maximized performance with minimum cost of ownership

Small Line Footprint

The Trio is the smallest footprint dedicated glass X-ray inspection system available on the market today. The Trio requires less than 9 ft (3 m) of linear line space

Typical Applications

Glass Food Containers
Glass Beverage Containers
Empty Glass Containers
