It may be a Utopian idea to elimi- nate all risks that lead to an approxi- mate 600 million foodborne illnesses and injuries a year globally. But food manufacturers can take food safe- ty measures to identify and prevent biological, chemical, allergenic and physical hazards. Deploying advanced x-ray systems at critical control points in the production and packaging pro- cess is a crucial, proactive step in miti- gating risks from physical hazards.
Eagle Product Inspection helps ma- nufacturers worldwide with a range of x-ray solutions to shore up their vulnerabilities to physical hazards, and to optimize their food safety. As pioneers in x-ray inspection technolo- gy, Eagle offers fool proof solutions to enhance the physical contamination detection and quality inspection.
Material Discrimination X-ray (MDX) enables users to discriminate between organic and inorganic materials. The dual energy technology has proven va- luable in a variety of difficult product applications, such as multi-textured foods and those with high variations in density, like bagged salads, trail mixes and bulk fruits, vegetables and meats.
For mid-sized packaged products,
there is Eagle Pack 430 machine re- moves historically difficult-to-find inor- ganic contaminants like glass and small pieces of rocks, dense rubber and pla- stic. With today’s manufacturers see- king greater versatility and efficiency, Eagle machines offers both flexible changeovers between products and also facilitate traceability.
To help food and beverage manufactu- rers adhere to requirements for a strong food safety culture, Eagle offers advanced inspection systems that are a visible sign of a company’s commit- ment to food safety and an effective tool in pre- venting potentially ha- zardous contaminants from entering the food
supply.
For upfront inspec-
tion, there is Eagle Bulk 540 PRO which is a powerful x-ray sys- tem that detects hard- to-find contaminants such as metal frag- ments, glass shards, dense plastics, rubber
compounds, mineral stones and rocks. The Eagle Pack 400 HC finds conta- minants in packaged meat, poultry and dairy products while simultaneous conducting crucial quality checks, in- cluding weight, component count, sha- pe and voids. What’s more, the Eagle’s PXTTM detector detects poultry bones
down to 1 mm.
Double screening solutions from Eagle Product Inspection help to identify and prevent biological, chemical, allergenic and physical hazards, and play a key part of helping manufacturers ensure a high food safety culture.
