HTDS Launches RX DYLIGHT Food Inspection Scanner

At the CFIA Toulouse 2026 exhibition, HTDS is launching the DYLOG DYLIGHT vertical X-ray scanner on the French market, designed for non-destructive inspection and automated quality control of food products in confined spaces.

Hardware Design and Integration
The use of a drum motor limits the overall length of the inspection machine to one meter, eliminating the footprint usually associated with conventional external motors. This configuration, equipped with an integrated waste management system, allows the direct connection of the conveyor belt to existing facilities without requiring structural modifications to the production line.

Detection Parameters
Specifically configured for lightweight products (snacks, powders, energy bars) requiring minimal emission power, this solution inspects bulk or pre-packaged goods such as plastic thermoformed trays, cardboard boxes, and pouches. The system identifies contaminants with a density greater than that of the product, including metals, glass, stones, ceramics, calcified bones, and shells. These operations are performed without altering the chemical composition or organoleptic properties of the food. The unit also integrates advanced weight control functions and can manage multi-line inspections via dedicated peripherals.

Software and Data Security
The device relies on Dylog software using parallel image processing and a specific filtering technology. This mechanism generates high-contrast visuals at high speeds while limiting digital noise. To secure the production environment, the machine can be controlled remotely, and its access is protected by a password ensuring operator traceability. Usage data, stored redundantly, can be exported via automated reports. For maintenance, the internal architecture offers direct access for main component replacement and guarantees fully washable surfaces.

Additional Context: Technical Specifications and Benchmarking
This section details technical specifications and competitive benchmarking not included in the original product announcement.

In the X-ray inspection market within the food industry, demand for systems with a very small footprint is intensifying due to the densification of packaging lines. Compact radioscopic equipment competes directly with established industrial solutions, such as Mettler-Toledo's X33 series or Ishida's IX-EN series, which also prioritize low-power generators for inspecting low-density products, thereby reducing overall electrical consumption and eliminating complex cooling systems. Furthermore, the integration of drum motors (internal gear motors) has become a decisive competitive standard: beyond compactness, this architecture meets stringent hygiene requirements (such as IP69K standards or EHEDG design recommendations) by eliminating debris and bacteria retention areas frequently associated with drive belts and externally mounted motors.
