X-Ray Inspection Equipment Hire FAQs
What are the Health & Safety requirements for hiring our x-ray inspection machine?
At our own premises, AIS have ISO accreditation to meet food and product safety standards including HACCP, TACCP, GFSI & GMP. We can therefore assist you in meeting health & safety and regulatory requirements and enabling your users to operate the hired equipment safely and correctly.
Can the new AIS X-Ray scanners operate on-line or near- line?
Ultra-high resolution sensors cannot match the high speeds used on modern production lines.
The AIS X-Ray Micron Scan is designed to operate off-line and be operated by AIS’ expert staff to achieve its optimum accuracy.
The AIS X-Ray Ultra Scan can be deployed at near-line and off-line locations.
How are the x-ray inspection machines set up?
All systems consist of a conveyor cabinet and x-ray generator plus high powered PC and software for x-ray detection and image processing.
To take full advantage of the higher resolution, the image processing hardware and software must be able to handle the data rate that the detectors produce. The hardware and software within the Micron Scan and Ultra Scan are optimised to handle these high data rates.
How reliable are the x-ray inspection techniques?
AIS has many years’ of experience in providing specialist x-ray inspection services. We are ISO accredited to help you achieve compliance for potential recall incidents, HACCP and TACCP.
Over 95% of our business is repeat business from long term clients, mainly within the food and pharmaceutical sectors.
Reliability can differ due to many factors. We will always give a clear and honest appraisal of what is achievable and be prepared to demonstrate that to you at any time.

What is the risk of passing food products through an x-ray system?
X-ray inspection which delivers a dose of less than 0.5 Gy to food products is permitted under EU Directive 1999/2/EC.
The dose received by a product passing through an x-ray system is extremely low, typically for an x-ray linescan system it is less than 0.2 milli-Gy.
