Agri-food industry

By ensuring the safety and integrity of a wide range of bulk and packaged food products, inspection systems reduce the risk of costly product recalls, preserve brand reputation, and protect consumers from unsafe contaminants or other non-compliant foods.Investing in one of our X-ray inspection systems also makes it easier for food manufacturers to comply with Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) recognized standards based on
Investing in one of our X-ray inspection systems also makes it easier for food manufacturers to comply with Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) recognized HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) standards, such as:

• The British Retail Consortium (BRC) global food safety standard
• The International Food Standard (IFS)
• The Safe Quality Food (SQF) 2000 code
• Foundation for Food Safety Certification (FSSC) 22000

Eagle solutions offer exceptional detection sensitivity for the following dense contaminants, regardless of their size, shape or location within a wide variety of products:

• Glass shards (including glass contaminants in glass containers)
• Metal fragments (including metal in metallized film or aluminum foil)
• Mineral stones
• Some plastics and rubbers
• Calcified bones

In addition to ensuring food safety, these systems are a highly effective tool for ensuring customer satisfaction. Indeed, by allowing manufacturers to inspect the inside of packages, they increase productivity by performing the following quality controls on the line:

• Inspection of filling levels
• Mass measurement
• Seal inspection
• Component count

In addition, metal packaging (metallized film or aluminum foil) and variations in product temperature and moisture content do not affect contaminant detection sensitivity. We offer solutions for inspecting products in the following types of packaging:

• Unpackaged products
• Bulk products
• Large rigid containers (including glass, metal and ceramic containers)
• Plastic containers
• Cartons/Cans
• Bags
• Trays
• Tubes

Hygienic design

We are fully aware that the hygienic design of X-ray inspection systems is fundamental to eliminating the risk of the occurrence and spread of biological contamination in food processing plants. Therefore, all of our systems are easy to clean and meet international guidelines for hygienic design. They come standard with an IP65 rating to meet the most important sanitary requirements, and IP69K as an option for use in environments subject to intensive washing.
