When there’s danger afoot on your food production line and contaminants may be lurking around any corner (or inside any container, rather), doesn’t it feel like your facility could use a hero? When duty calls, Eagle PI’s advanced food inspection solutions swoop in to stop contaminants right in their tracks. With the combined powers of the industry’s newest detection technology and the most advanced imaging software available on the market, Eagle systems can see through any disguise to find the culprit behind your product’s sneakiest contaminants. Here’s how two x-ray inspection technologies, SimulTask™ PRO and PXT™, are teaming up to protect the peace of your production line—no capes required.
Defining The Industry Standard
The combination of a dual energy photon counting x ray detector and image processing software make for an unbeatable team in the world of food inspection. With advanced technology, you can detect even the smallest defects or contaminants in your products, ensuring they meet the highest quality standards. This is a game-changer in the realm of food safety and quality assurance, because it enables food processors at every stage to detect everything from golf balls in bulk potatoes to tiny bone fragments in packaged chicken nuggets.
This not only benefits food processors and manufacturers by reducing waste and improving product quality, but also gives consumers peace of mind knowing that their food has been thoroughly inspected before reaching their plates.

PXT™ and SimulTask™ PRO
Now, let’s talk about the stars of the show: the PXT™ detector and SimulTask™ PRO image analysis software. These two aren’t just partners; they’re a perfect match, and here’s why:
The PXT™ Detector
Ever heard of photon counting detector technology? It sounds straight out of a sci-fi movie, but it’s real, it’s powerful, and it’s here to save the day–at least in food inspection. The PXT™ (Photon- Counting X-ray Technology) detector is a cutting-edge marvel that counts individual photons. By capturing precise energy measurements of each photon, PXT™ produces images with razor-sharp detail.
This newly-available detector technology, first proven in the poultry industry for superior bone and metal detection, captures a greater amount of information about the product being inspected. This helps produce more detailed x-ray images to deliver the most accurate contaminant detection in the industry. Just how well can it perform, you might wonder? PXT™ can detect contaminant fragments as small as:
- 3 mm bone in beef rib
- 1 mm bone in poultry
- 0.5 mm bone in fish
- 0.4 mm metal in potato bags or trays
However, no good hero can work alone—and PXT™ is only one half of the dynamic duo.
Processing Dual Energy X-Ray Images
With all of this in mind, it’s important to realize that dual energy x-ray detectors like PXT™ only generates raw data. In order to transform that data into actionable insights, it takes another component to process that data into a visual format. That’s where your choice in x-ray image processing software becomes a make-or-break decision. A truly smart technology, SimulTask PRO™ equips food processing facilities with a flexible solution that processes the data from PXT to create detailed, high-resolution images. SimulTask™ PRO is an advanced platform that captures data from multiple diodes and harnesses algorithms to interpret and deliver the most exceptional image, despite challenging production line conditions – all within a tenth of a second. And with SimulTask™ PRO auto learn capabilities Eagle x-ray machines can quickly adapt to detect unwanted contaminants in your exact application even when running parallel images. With the highest greyscale range of up to 65,535 values, food processors can see deeper contrast and subtle differences providing superior inspection results for their production line.

- High-Resolution Images: Thanks to SimulTask™ PRO, the image clarity is top-notch. It processes the crystal-clear images created by PXT™, providing high-resolution, actionable data, fast.
- Speed: Faster than other image software programs, SimulTask™ PRO ensures that you get the inspection results you need without any frustrating delays. Efficiency at its finest.
- Versatility: This dynamic duo works across all sorts of food products—from bulk poultry to packaged items.
- Real-Time Analysis: SimulTask™ PRO analyzes data in real-time, meaning corrective actions can be taken on the spot, so that any potential food safety issues are nipped in the bud immediately.
Real-World Impact
So, how does this dual energy x-ray all play out in the real world? If you’re a food manufacturer, it’s likely that your product lines churn out hundreds and thousands of items an hour. And, let’s be honest, no one wants to be the company that caused a nationwide recall of a popular food item. But without precise inspection, even a tiny flaw could lead to costly recalls or worse, even cause harm to consumers. With PXT™ and SimulTask™ PRO, you get to inspect each product with precision. The food safety and quality assurance process goes from potentially stressful to a smooth operation.
The Power of The Dynamic Duo
It’s clear that when it comes to food inspection, PXT™ and SimulTask™ PRO are the cream of the crop. The combination of dual energy photon-counting x-ray technology and real-time analysis capabilities make them stand out from the rest. With their high-resolution images, speed, versatility, and ability to detect even the smallest contaminants, are a game changer for food inspection and safety. This dynamic duo provides unbeatable accuracy, speed, and reliability.
If you’re looking for inspection solutions equipped with dual energy photon-counting x-ray technology that give you the peace of mind knowing your products are contaminant-free, it’s time to team up with the best. It’s like going from a flip phone to the latest smartphone—the difference is huge, and you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it.
