interpack 2026: Eriez to unveil metal detector for food processors

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

Designed for food processors seeking greater consistency and reliability in product inspection, the X8-SF expands Eriez’ metal detection range. Visitors to the Eriez stand can observe 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 performance of the X8 platform, which features a 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 operations.

“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 broader 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 optimize production efficiency.

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

The launch of the X8-SF is scheduled for May 7th, when full product details will be announced.
