We understand that confectionery manufacturers face many challenges, from maximizing output and enhancing production processes, to minimizing the risk of brand-damaging product recalls and complying with strict regulations and industry standards.

Investing in one of our x-ray systems can also help food manufacturers to achieve compliance with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP)-based Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI)-recognised standards, such as:

    The British Retail Consortium’s (BRC) Global Standard for Food Safety

    International Food Standard (IFS)

    Safe Quality Food (SQF) 2000 Code

    The Foundation for Food Safety Certification (FSSC) 22000

By guaranteeing the safety and integrity of an extensive range of applications in the bakery industry, Eagle x-ray detection equipment can minimize the risk of adverse publicity, safeguard your brand’s reputation and protect consumers from harmful foreign bodies and poor-quality products.

Our x-ray inspection systems provide exceptional detection of the following physical contaminants regardless of their size, shape or location, within a variety of applications, including solid and layered chocolate bars, buttons, enrobed candy, hard boiled sweets, fondants, toffees, jellies and chewing gum:

    Glass shards (including glass contamination within glass containers)

    Metal fragments (including metal within foil and metalized film packaging)

    Mineral stone

    Some plastic and rubber compounds

    Calcified bone

Eagle’s Material Discrimination X-ray (MDX) uses dual energy technology and is especially valuable for inspecting foods with high variations in density, such as bags of sweets.

In addition to ensuring goods are safe to consume, x-ray machines are quality assurance systems and a highly-effective tool for ensuring product integrity, for example, by checking for broken, missing or misformed items. By allowing manufacturers to ‘see’ inside packages, x-ray inspection systems can simultaneously perform the following quality checks:

    Mass measurement

    Seal inspection

    Component count

Furthermore, metal packaging has no effect on the sensitivity of contamination detection and solutions are available to inspect products in a wide range of packaging types, such as:

    Unpackaged

    Tall rigid containers (including glass, metal and ceramic containers)

    Plastic containers

    Cartons/boxes

    Bags and sacks

    Pouches

    Trays

    Tubes
