Eagle x-ray inspection equipment is capable of physical contaminant detection in dry, semi-moist and wet pet food.

X-ray systems provide exceptional detection of the following foreign objects:

• Glass shards (including glass within glass contamination)
• Metal fragments (including metal within foil and metalized film packaging)
• Mineral stone
• Some plastic and rubber compounds
• Calcified bone

In addition to ensuring there is no metal or other contaminants in pet food, x-ray machines are capable of food quality inspection by performing the following inline quality checks:

• Mass measurement
• Seal inspection

What’s more, metal contaminants can be detected in metal packaging and glass within glass packaging, while changes in product temperature and moisture content have no effect on the sensitivity of x-ray detection. Solutions are available to inspect pet food in the following packages:

• Unpackaged
• Bulk products
• Tall rigid containers (including glass, metal and ceramic containers)
• Plastic containers
• Cartons/boxes
• Pouches
• Bags/Sacks
• Tray
• Tube
