Also, featured at the IPPE 2018 is the FA3/M X-ray series, which uses Eagle’s Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) technology to discriminate between fat and lean portions of 100% of product throughput, providing Chemical Lean (CL) measurements of all meat products. The FA3 machines inspect for contaminants including calcified bone, glass shards, metal fragments, minerals, stone and some plastics and rubber compounds. Inline product integrity checks are conducted by the FA3 systems as well; in addition to chemical lean measurements and contaminant detection, this system provides protein calculations, moisture calculations and mass measurement.

“In light of today’s global safety standards and consumer demands, we have responded to our customers’ concerns and priorities with advanced inspection technology and versatile, multifunctional applications,” says Christy Draus, marketing manager at Eagle. “We worked closely with poultry companies, for example, to develop the RMI 400 X-ray system for their unique needs. The FA3 series assures safety while also providing quality checks important to processors’ brand reputation and bottom line.”

IPPE attendees can also see X-ray capabilities in action at the FPEC Corp. display at the show (B5217). The Springdale, Ark.-based FPEC will exhibit Eagle’s FA3/M and Pack 400 HC system in their booth.
