All the Power of X-ray Analysis

This high-speed food x-ray inspection machine incorporates a wide belt ideal for multilane applications to help you keep pace with volume while ensuring contaminant detection for raw and unpackaged products. By combining this high-speed system with our breakthrough PXT™ detector, processors can obtain much higher resolution images than previously possible. This results in improved poultry bone detection and contaminant detection with fewer false rejects, increasing productivity while reducing unnecessary and costly rework while ensuring food quality assurance.   

The Eagle X-Ray RMI 540 has a unique curtainless design and incorporates an innovative inclined infeed and out-feed conveyor. This innovative design enables fast and convenient visual inspection during cleaning while also reducing the number of surfaces a product comes into contact with during processing. It also has an easy-to-remove belt for faster and more efficient washdown‒keeping automated poultry inspection lines running longer for optimum output.

What Our Clients Are Saying

"Quality is number one in everything we do, it’s our focus—that and having the highest safety standards. An extra layer of food safety was required to catch items like a stone, or other foreign objects that a metal detector can’t detect.”
Sean Frank CEO
"We were very impressed with Eagle’s on-site service. The team adjusted the equipment to meet our needs perfectly."
 Iglo Food Group
Mr. Arno Strotmann Project Manager
"The x-ray’s software program is very intuitive. It’s simple to set up and program. I learned a great deal from Eagle’s service department on how to run the machine and appreciate their know-how, availability 24/7 and professionalism."

 Higos El Pajarero
Mrs. Fuensanta Carrillo Sales and Marketing Manager, Higos El Pajarero
“When first presented with the idea of inspecting our products using x-ray inspection systems, we doubted that it could help us to improve and assure the quality of their products; now it is a fundamental part inside of our system of quality.”
 Kowi
Ramiro Espinoza Kowi’s Plant Director
"Going forward, any new inspection systems or upgrades to current inspection technologies will be x-ray inspection systems, they are extremely reliable, easy to operate and easy to maintain."
Merrily Blasi Quality Assurance Manager
"These machines do an excellent job of looking for and pinpointing any foreign matter, with instant and easy-to-use metal detection capabilities. And they can be taught and programmed to identify other unwanted substances by measuring product density. "
 Unilever Canada
Galen Sienicki Factory Director
"The Eagle x-ray machine has resulted in a dramatic reduction of bones in our boneless products—basically down to zero. By purchasing a dual-lane system, we’re able to double our output, or run different products at the same time."
 Giannone Poultry
Bruno Giannone Vice-President and CEO
"We chose Eagle’s Pack 430 PRO because of the machine’s software capabilities - in particular, the multitask features which offered more options, compared to competitors’ machines, such as checkweighing."
