As food processors respond to growing pressure for product variety, Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) expansion, and accelerated throughput, multi-lane production lines have become an increasingly common strategy. Eagle Product Inspection’s new Pack 550 PRO X-ray system answers this shift with a high-speed, highly flexible inspection platform designed for today’s diverse packaging formats and faster line speeds.

Operating at speeds up to 90 meters per minute, the Pack 550 PRO leverages Eagle’s proprietary SimulTask PRO imaging software, delivering high-resolution, deep-contrast inspection even on complex product mixes such as salad blends, snack mixes, cereals, confectionery, and frozen foods. The system can also incorporate Eagle’s advanced PXT photon-counting dual-energy technology that enables processors to obtain much higher resolution images and capture more detailed data about the product being inspected than has previously been possible. The system allows users to differentiate materials by chemical composition, improving detection in products with dense or overlapping ingredients that often challenge traditional X-ray systems.
