Superior Detail in Every X-ray Image

Contaminant detection in fruits and vegetables can be challenging for processors. Frozen products, for example, have a high moisture content, which can interfere with the sensitivity of some inspection technologies causing a high false reject rate. Finding stones in freshly washed blueberries or golf balls unintentionally harvested with whole potatoes can prove to be difficult.

Eagle’s proprietary SimulTask™ PRO software offers the highest greyscale range on the market of 65,535 values, and the latest processing software algorithms for superior contaminant detection.
