Eagle X Ray Machine

• Detecting foreign bodies (metal, glass, stone, dense plastics) in packaged or bulk food products.
• Ensuring product integrity and completeness, such as verifying fill levels or detecting missing components.
• Inspecting products for defects like cracks, voids, or malformations.
• Quality control in pharmaceutical production for tablet and capsule inspection.
• Checking for bone fragments in meat and poultry processing.

Typical throughput

Varies significantly by product and application; for this class of equipment, speeds can range from 10 to over 100 metres per minute.

Power supply

Commonly 230V or 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz, with specific amperage requirements depending on the X-ray generator and ancillary components.

Belt width

For bulk inspection units, belt widths typically range from 300mm to 600mm, accommodating various product sizes.

Detection capabilities

Capable of detecting contaminants down to sub-millimetre sizes, depending on product density and contaminant type.

Materials of construction

Typically stainless steel for product contact areas and washdown compatibility, suitable for food processing environments.

Footprint

Units of this type commonly have a length of 2.0m to 3.5m and a width of 1.0m to 1.5m, plus space for access and reject systems.

Operating environment

Designed for industrial environments, often with IP65 or higher ratings for washdown.

• What types of contaminants can an X-ray machine detect?

  X-ray machines are highly effective at detecting dense contaminants such as metal, glass, stone, calcified bone, and some high-density plastics. Their effectiveness is less for low-density materials like wood or soft plastics.

• Is X-ray inspection safe for food products?

• What maintenance is typically required for an X-ray inspection system?

• How does an X-ray machine integrate into a production line?

• What product characteristics affect X-ray inspection performance?

X-ray inspection systems hold strong reputation in food processing quality control. Buyers typically value their ability to detect foreign contaminants and ensure product consistency. When purchasing used equipment, inspect calibration records, detector functionality, and compliance with current safety standards. Common strengths include reliable contaminant detection, minimal product damage compared to alternative methods, and established integration with production lines. Maintenance history and original manufacturer documentation prove important for ongoing performance and regulatory compliance.
