with a NAMI-standard design that withstands
and overcomes the particular challenges in
poultry settings, such as an inclined infeed and
out-feed conveyor that reduces sanitation time
and eliminates the need for radiation shielding
curtains. "Customers have a better probability
of detecting smaller objects and bone with
the RMI 400, while also making sure that the
machine is very hygienic and keeps clean over
time," Thomas says.
Eagle's other detection systems include
the RMI 3 series and FA3 series designed
for raw products and some bulk products
packed in crates and cartons. The Pack 400

HC, Thomas says, provides superior bone and
contamination detection once the product
is packaged and is suitable for the hygienic
needs of environments like meat and poultry
plants. Eagle's systems also provide key
information for quality checks, including inline
fat measurement and analysis and mass-weight
measurement and count.
Mettler Toledo provides an array of x-ray
and metal detection units precisely designed
for the meat and poultry industry, according to
Rogers. "The latest metal detector, the Profile
Advantage, delivers up to 50 percent greater
sensitivity in challenging applications where
the product has 'product effect' - products that
are hot, wet, cold, chilling or have high saline
content such as those in the meat and poultry
industries," he reports. In addition, Mettler
Toledo has developed an X39 x-ray system for
formed frozen products, such as burger patties.
Anritsu, meantime, focuses on the longevity
of its machines and their benefits for users.
Keim uses the company's XR75 technology
as an example. "Our XR75 does not require
the need for an air conditioner, allowing
for a completely sealed electronics cabinet,
resulting in no water ingress and ensuring that
the production schedule goes on as planned. 
Moreover, our XR75 sanitary design x-ray
system offers a hygienic solution that mitigates
biological hazards that can occur due to lack of
proper sanitation," he explains.
Keim also notes that Anritsu offers a low
power x-ray system that allows for a "safer
approach" to x-ray inspection while enabling
users to find less-dense objects that are
typically penetrated by traditional high-power
x-ray systems.
For metal detection, Fortress Technology
has introduced a new multi-aperture, multi-line
metal detector, designed for greater versatility
and efficiency in a smaller footprint. According
to the company information, the system can
improve the total cost of ownership by more
than 65 percent.
Moving into 2018 and planning for the
future, one can expect detection technologies
to continue to improve. "As an industry and
as a consumer, you continue to raise the bar.
Therefore, slaughterhouses, processors, and,
ultimately, those that are providing food that
goes into stores want to meet consumers'
expectations," Thomas says.
