How can a garment factory check both sides of a product?
Use ON-688P continuous turning device between inspection stages. The garment can first pass through ON-688CD6S / ON-688CDD6S, then be turned 180 degrees by ON-688P for reverse-side inspection.
Food inspection and labeling equipment comparison
Food inspection and labeling equipment can be configured according to different production line needs. From X-ray foreign object inspection, metal detection, and online checkweighing to weighing and labeling, these machines help food factories build a more complete quality control process before packaging, labeling, and shipment.
| Model | Main Use | Inspection Content | Suitable Position |
|---|---|---|---|
| OX-400 OX-600 | X-ray foreign object inspection | Internal foreign objects such as metal, glass, stone, and bones | Before or after packaging |
| MD-400 MD-600 | Metal detection | Metal contaminants in food products | Middle of the food production line or after packaging |
| CW-150 CW-220 CW-300 | Online checkweighing | Underweight or overweight products | After packaging, before labeling |
| CWL-300 | Weighing and labeling | Weight, barcode, date, and product information labels | Labeling stage before shipment |
*The equipment comparison above is provided for reference only. Actual equipment selection may vary depending on product type, packaging format, inspection standard, production speed, label content, and factory layout. Please confirm the final configuration based on your production requirements.
What is the difference between food metal detection and X-ray inspection?
Food metal detection is mainly used to detect metal contaminants in food products. X-ray inspection can detect additional hidden foreign objects beyond metal, such as glass, stone, bone, high-density rubber, and selected plastics. The right choice depends on the product type and the potential foreign object risks in the production process.
What is the difference between a food checkweigher and a food weighing-labeling machine?
The CW series food checkweigher is mainly used to check whether product weight is under or over the required range. CWL-300 further combines weighing, barcode scanning, printing, and label application, making it suitable for food production lines that need product labeling before shipment.
How can food inspection equipment be arranged in a production line?
A basic food inspection workflow can use MD-400 / 600 for metal detection and CW-150 / 220 / 300 for inline checkweighing. If the line needs to detect more non-metal foreign objects, OX-400 / 600 X-ray inspection machine can be added. If product labeling is required, CWL-300 food weighing and labeling machine can be connected after the inspection and weighing process.
Carton erecting, top sealing, and side sealing comparison
Different carton packaging workflows require different carton erecting, top sealing, or side sealing equipment. Use this table to select a suitable machine based on carton type, fixed or random carton size, sealing position, and shipment requirements.
| Model | Suitable Carton Type | Size Type | Sealing Position | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| OSZ-K02 | Regular cartons | Same size | Bottom sealing | Carton forming before product packing |
| OSZ-50 | Corrugated cartons | Same size | Top sealing | Packaging lines with fixed carton sizes |
| OSZ-50N | Corrugated cartons | Random size | Top sealing | Multi-product and multi-order shipment lines |
| OSZ-50X | Lidded boxes, flat boxes, and styrofoam boxes | Same size | Side sealing | Fixed-size side sealing workflows |
| OSZ-50XN | Lidded boxes, flat boxes, and styrofoam boxes | Random size | Side sealing | Mixed-size side sealing workflows |

How do I know if I need steam or hot water?
If your process requires steam pressure, direct steam, drying, pressing, sterilization, or process heating, you usually need an industrial steam boiler. Common applications include garment pressing, textile processing, food sterilization, drying equipment, and industrial heating processes.
If your facility only needs heated water for washing, bathing, pool heating, hotel hot water, hospital hot water, or spa systems, a hot water boiler is usually enough.
The simplest way to decide is to check the required piping connection. If the equipment requires a steam line, choose a steam boiler. If it requires hot water circulation, choose a hot water boiler.
What boiler can I choose if my factory does not have a natural gas pipeline?
If your factory does not have a natural gas pipeline, you can still use an industrial boiler. Depending on the available energy source on site, you may consider an oil-fired boiler, biomass boiler, electric steam boiler, or coal-fired boiler in specific regions.
If the power supply is stable and the steam demand is not too large, an electric steam boiler may be considered.
If higher steam output is required but gas pipeline access is not available, an oil-fired steam boiler may be suitable.
If local biomass fuels such as wood pellets, wood chips, rice husks, or corn cobs are available, a biomass boiler can be evaluated.
If coal remains available, economical, and legally permitted in the local market, a coal-fired boiler may also be considered, but emission control must be reviewed carefully.
| Boiler Option | Best For | Considerations |
|---|---|---|
| Electric Steam Boiler | Stable power supply, indoor installation, no combustion system | Electricity cost and power capacity must be confirmed |
| Oil-Fired Steam Boiler | No gas pipeline, but stable steam supply is required | Requires oil storage and combustion maintenance |
| Biomass Boiler | Access to wood chips, rice husks, biomass pellets, or local biofuel | Requires fuel storage, feeding system, and ash handling |
| Coal-Fired Boiler | Regions where coal is available and legally permitted | Emission regulations and pollution control must be checked |
In simple terms, if there is no gas pipeline, first check: power capacity, oil storage possibility, biomass fuel availability, and local emission regulations.

Actual boiler selection may vary depending on steam demand, available fuel, local energy cost, installation space, environmental regulations, and factory operating conditions. Please confirm the final configuration based on your production requirements.
