Inspect More and Detect More with PXT™ Photon-counting X-ray

Not all dual energy inspection systems use photon-counting technology. Eagle PI’s PXT™ captures more usable data than conventional methods, enabling precise detection of contaminants across poultry, seafood, meat, fruits, vegetables, and more. With over 20 years of expertise, Eagle PI offers advanced inline x-ray solutions that improve product safety, maintain food quality, and reduce total ownership costs.

Photon-counting is the Next Step in Dual Energy Inspection

The combination of hygienically constructed equipment that stands up to the rigors of daily operation, while being powered by the most advanced inspection technologies available, provides the formula for maximum uptime, safety standard compliance and quality assurance.

Unparalleled Detection

PXT™ is a breakthrough detector that delivers a quantum leap in x-ray inspection performance. The PXT™ photon-counting detector captures more detailed usable data about the product being inspected than has previously been possible – providing the unmatched ability to detect metal and bone at different stages in your production process.

Lower False Rejects

The superior quality data from the PXT™ detector, when combined with Eagle’s SimulTask™ PRO advanced image analysis software, which uses the industry’s highest greyscale range of 0-65,535 values, creates the highest resolution image. This unique significantly reduce false reject rates, leading to a new industry standard in detection accuracy.

Low Total Cost of Ownership

Easy to operate machines equipped with PXT™ increase uptime, improve efficiencies, and boost line performance to deliver the lowest total cost of ownership. Suitable for fresh or frozen meat, Eagle offers hygienically designed machines for single and multiple lane inspection that ensure accurate detection and reliable results.

Selecting the Right Bone Detection Technology
