• The NextGuard offers up to 50 percent better detection sensitivity than Thermo Fisher’s previous value-based X-ray system, the EZx • The system is designed to be reliable, easy-to- install and compact (one meter long). It comes equipped with intuitive software • Multiple contaminant detection algorithms to increase detection probability—safer products and fewer complaints/recalls • Ability to modify, test and change detection parameters on the fly—increased line efficiency and fewer unnecessary false rejects • Multiple X-ray powers, extended warranties—application flexibility, upgrade path and reduced cost of ownership • Variable speed with optional rejection systems—flexibility and complete integrated solutions eliminating customer engineering • Unique wrap-around detector means no “blind spots”—reduces the risk of contaminated product being shipped • Detector diagnostic warns when detector should be refurbished—increased uptime/increased line efficiency/OEE • Hour counter for x-ray source also warns when refurbishment should be done—increased uptime/increased line efficiency/OEE • User interface available in five languages, globally available—easy to standardize in plants around the world • Compact size makes installation and use easy • Unique non-linear detector eliminates inspection blind spots • Removable conveyor makes directional change and maintenance simple • Software based on popular, intuitive VersaWeigh user interface • Modular design for high reliability and quick diagnosis and repair • Source and detector lifetime indicators to minimize expensive downtime • Built-in remote monitoring for quick problem determination

The Thermo Scientific NextGuard detection system enables compliance with worldwide HACCP and retailer food safety requirements. It is an easy to use, cost effective, thoughtfully designed system that eliminates the barriers associated with moving from metal detection to x-ray detection.
