Eriez will launch its X8-SF Metal Detector at interpack 2026 in Düsseldorf, where visitors can see the latest addition to the PrecisionGuard X8 inspection line in Hall 12 / C05.

Designed for food processors looking for greater consistency and reliability in product inspection, the X8-SF expands the Eriez metal detection range. Visitors to the Eriez stand will be able to see the system in action through live demonstrations and learn how it addresses key inspection challenges in modern processing environments.

The X8-SF builds on the proven performance of the X8 platform, which combines robust hygienic design, an intuitive interface and integrated data capture to support traceability and compliance. The system is designed to help processors improve product quality while minimising disruption to production.

“Different products can create very different inspection conditions, which is where performance consistency becomes critical,” said Emmett Keim, Global Product Manager – Inspection Systems at Eriez. “At interpack, we’re demonstrating how the X8-SF manages that variability in real time.”

Alongside the X8-SF preview, Eriez will showcase its wider inspection and material handling solutions, including X-ray inspection systems, magnetic separation equipment and vibratory feeders. Together, these technologies help processors protect product quality, safeguard equipment and optimise production efficiency.

Eriez experts will be available throughout interpack to discuss application-specific requirements and recommend tailored solutions.

The X8-SF launch is scheduled for 7 May, when full product details will be announced. For more information or to schedule a demonstration, visit the Eriez website.
