The Solo is specially designed for the inspection of non-glass rigid containers.

The SHIELD Solo Plus is part of InspX’s family of advanced side-view X-Ray inspection systems and is specially designed for the inspection of non-glass rigid containers (e.g. metal and composite cans, plastic containers and boxes).

The Solo Plus mounts over the customer’s existing conveyor and therefore offers completely non-contact inspection at linear speeds up to 233 meters (700 feet) or 2000 containers per minute!

The Solo Plus leverages InspX’s proprietary inspection software to detect a wide range of foreign material and container defects (e.g. knock down flanges).

Finally, the Solo is easy to own and inexpensive to maintain. Superior InspX service ensures that you’ll have access to immediate support 24X7 and convenient local service when you need it.
