Eagle Product Inspection (Eagle) has launched Eagle™ FA3/M (Dual Energy), a multi-application system that provides inline fat measurement and contaminant detection for fresh, chilled, frozen and hot-boned loose bulk, frozen or tempered meat blocks and unwrapped meat conveyed in plastic crates.
“The dual energy model is more effective where high contrasting or “busy” images are presented, where lots of light and dark pixels are caused by density differences in products such as bags of lettuce, boxes of cereals and potato applications. Dual energy x-ray technology overcomes busy output images from traditional single energy systems by examining the chemical composition, or atomic number, to determine if a contaminant is present,” the company says.
