New Eagle Pack 400 HC Offers Food Safety and Quality Inspection

Manufacturers operating in harsh washdown environments face unique challenges, not only in maintaining food safety and operational efficiency, but also in meeting the growing demands of regulatory audits. Engineered for these environments, the Eagle Pack 400 HC with PXT from Eagle Product Inspection offers dual energy technology, contaminant detection and inline quality checks in a hygienic system designed to help processors stay audit ready.

Ideal for meat, poultry, seafood and dairy processors, the Pack 400 HC is hygienically constructed to NAMI standards and meets IP69 ingress protection specifications. It features interlocked hinged louvers, tool-free belt removal and a design that allows one person to fully disassemble the machine in minutes, said the company, supporting faster sanitation and reduced labor.

At the core of the system is Eagle’s newly advanced PXT detector, which uses photon-counting dual energy technology to find the smallest contaminants and bone fragments, particles often missed by conventional x-ray systems. The system is powered by the latest version of SimulTask PRO software, offering a greyscale range of up to 65,535 values for image clarity and data precision, said Eagle. 

Beyond contaminant detection, the Pack 400 HC with PXT performs simultaneous inline product integrity checks. Processors can verify mass, count components, identify missing or broken items and detect unwanted voids.

Eagle will showcase the Pack 400 HC with PXT, along with other x-ray systems, at the upcoming PACK EXPO event, held Sept. 29–Oct. 2 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
