Elevating Food Safety and Precision with Advanced Photon-Counting Technology and Hygienic Reject Mechanism
A global leader in advanced inspection and product safety solutions, showcased its groundbreaking Eagle RMI 540 X-Ray system paired with the Short Retracting Nose Reject (Short RNR) and PXT™ dual energy photon-counting technology at PACK EXPO International 2024 in Chicago, Illinois. This innovative combination highlights Eagle’s commitment to redefining food safety standards for high-volume processing lines, particularly within the meat, poultry, and seafood industries.
The RMI 540 X-Ray system is engineered for stringent sanitary requirements, designed to detect contaminants such as bones, metal, glass, and other foreign materials with industry-leading precision. The system’s curtainless design and inclined infeed and outfeed conveyors simplify cleaning processes and reduce contamination risk, enhancing both hygiene and operational efficiency on processing lines. Paired with SimulTask™ PRO image analysis software, the RMI 540 delivers real-time, high-resolution imaging for reliable contaminant detection and minimized rework.
The Short RNR reject mechanism adds an extra layer of assurance, offering an IP69-rated, hygienic solution ideal for raw product inspection. This system swiftly removes non-conforming items from the line while preserving product quality. Its modular structure and open-hinge belt design support high-volume processing and ease of sanitation, minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity. The Short RNR integrates seamlessly with Eagle’s x-ray systems, operating with precision to reduce waste and enhance safety standards in demanding environments.
At the core of the RMI 540’s enhanced detection capabilities is Eagle’s proprietary PXT™ technology. Using dual energy photon-counting, PXT™ captures ultra-high-resolution images that reveal even the smallest bone fragments and other potential contaminants. This advanced technology, combined with SimulTask™ PRO, performs real-time analysis within one-tenth of a second, supporting processors in meeting rigorous quality standards while maintaining throughput.
With this powerful combination of RMI 540, Short RNR, PXT™ technology, and SimulTask™ PRO software, Eagle Product Inspection delivers unmatched food safety solutions designed to support productivity and precision in today’s high-demand processing lines.
