Can it inspect aluminum foil or metallized packaging?
Yes — and this is a key advantage over metal detectors. X-ray identifies contaminants inside aluminum foil, metallized film, and multilayer packaging by density, not conductivity, so the pack material no longer blocks inspection.
X-ray vs. metal detector on tricky packaging
| Packaging type | Metal detector | SameGram X-ray |
|---|---|---|
| Aluminum foil pouch | Signal blocked | Inspects by density |
| Metallized film | Signal blocked | Inspects by density |
| Multilayer laminate | Often blind | Detects metal & non-metal |
Because X-ray reads density differences, it also finds glass, stone, bone, and dense plastic inside these same packs — not just metal.
