Quality Control of Food

Eagle’s systems feature an auto-learn function that sets an acceptable weight tolerance by passing a standard weight pack through the x-ray machine. Future products are compared to this tolerance: if their weight falls within the range, they pass; if not, they are rejected. This solution is ideal for high-speed lines and space-limited environments where separate food contamination detection and checkweighing devices aren’t feasible.

Eagle x-ray inspection systems enable manufacturers to set minimum and maximum fill levels, rejecting products outside this range. They can also provide feedback to filling machines for real-time adjustments, benefiting products like staged items, liquids, and loose powders, thereby improving quality control and reducing overfills and underfills.

Eagle x-ray systems quickly and reliably count components inside sealed food packaging, detecting items like caps or lids that cameras or the human eye cannot see. Missing components show as brighter areas on x-ray images, triggering rejection. Common uses include counting salad kit parts, medical items, and chocolates in boxes.

X-ray inspection technology helps food and pharmaceutical manufacturers ensure product integrity by detecting and rejecting deformed or damaged products—such as broken cookies, misshaped patties, or dented cans—on high-speed lines. Advanced software offers real-time image analysis and traceability to enhance quality assurance programs.

Eagle x-ray inspection systems help food and pharmaceutical manufacturers ensure package integrity by detecting and rejecting deformed packages and compromised seals. They can identify tiny particles (as small as 1 mm) trapped in seal areas that could spoil products, maintaining sterility and freshness on the production line.

Eagle x-ray systems can measure the mass of each compartment in multi-compartment products, like chocolate boxes or ready meals, while also checking the overall pack mass. The software generates detailed reports with production statistics and data on rejected items for contaminants and mass deviations.

Eagle recognizes the importance of using the most robust, hygienic meat inspection and fat analysis systems that are easy to manage, and can adapt to your unique product line. From recipe management for ground products with FA or case inspection for sausages, our red meat inspection systems provide accurate and reliable results that are achieved consistently on processing lines regardless of throughput levels and environments.

Beyond red meat, the poultry industry benefits from our extensive application experience and photon-counting technology. Our hygienic x-ray detection systems  are  versatile and support a wide array of poultry products to guarantee they meet the most stringent washdown environments, whether they’re raw, frozen, pumped, or packaged.

The seafood processing industry faces unique challenges that require specialized inspection solutions. Equipped with PXT™, the latest photon-counting x-ray detector technology, our machines offer exceptional detection capabilities for a variety of seafood products–whether frozen filets, canned goods, or bulk shelled items.

Eagle’s advanced inspection systems can detect foreign contaminants in a multitude of dairy products, from raw cheese blocks to packaged yogurts. Our hygienically constructed equipment built to sanitary design can also ensure proper portioning, placement of product, weight and package integrity to deliver the safest, highest quality products.

Tackling the hurdles faced by fruit and vegetable manufacturers, our Eagle x-ray systems adeptly locate foreign body contaminants that can occur from harvest to processing. Our dual energy technology is particularly effective in detecting unwanted materials in dense products like dried fruits.

Eagle experts can help configure the best x-ray or fat analysis machine for your product application, inspection needs, and production environment. Send us your product for a free test, and you’ll receive a detailed report with machine configuration, inspection data, and the Probability of Detection (POD) as a percentage, reflecting real production conditions.
