QuadView x-ray machine enhances quality control in jars, bottles, and upright containers

Eagle Product Inspection’s QuadView x-ray machine provides unparalleled detection capabilities to ensure product integrity and consumer safety for the food and beverage, dairy, poultry, seafood, red meat, and fruit & vegetable categories.

A system designed for the high-speed x-ray inspection of jars, bottles, and upright containers, it is ideal for glass-in-glass contaminant detection, this system

The QuadView features four-view detection coverage which provides full food inspection of container sizes up to 304 mm (12”) tall and 152 mm (6”) in diameter, eliminating blind spots that commonly occur at the bottom of containers. The design enables the detection of contaminants such as glass, metal, stone, and calcified bone that can compromise food safety. The system’s high-resolution imaging and superior detection sensitivity can perform multiple inspections at line speeds exceeding 1,000 PPM, ensuring that even the smallest contaminants are identified.

In addition to contaminant detection, the QuadView system excels in verifying product quality. The system can also inspect fill levels, measure headspace, and verify component presence/absence, making it an invaluable tool for maintaining high standards in food production. It is available with either IP65 or IP69 ingress protection, certifying the system’s hygienic construction meets stringent food industry standards.

The QuadView features SimulTask PRO advanced imaging and processing software that provides high resolution and extraordinarily detailed x-ray images with the highest grayscale range from 0-65,535. Eagle Remote Access enables product set-up, machine diagnostics, and remote correction by Eagle Technical Support to maximise machine uptime while maintaining a low cost of ownership.

Eagle Repository is supplied as a standard that provides a simple way of storing, viewing, and transferring production information such as statistics, event logs, manually saved images, and reject images to other devices for storage. The optional Eagle TraceServer x-ray software program records valuable production data and machine status information from one or more of Eagle’s x-ray machines and consolidates it into a single centralised database.
