The Eagle Product Inspection - formerly Smiths Detection PID - line of X-ray inspection systems evaluates products for contaminants such as metal, glass, stone and bone while also having the ability to check mass, evaluate compartmentalised fill level, and analyse fat content to help manufacturers enhance quality, safety and productivity on their lines. Eagle machines use Material Discrimination X-ray - MDX - technology to enhance traditional X-ray inspection to allow detection of materials previously unseen by X-ray or any other conventional means in difficult product applications. Originally pioneered for use in the security sector, the MDX technology is able to discriminate materials by their chemical composition and allows the detection and rejection of historically undetectable inorganic contaminants such as glass shards, rocks, rubber and plastic. This ability is especially valuable in difficult images which contain high variations in image density. The nature of such products as cereals, nuts, bagged salads, confectionery, and other bulk packaged products make detection of foreign materials more difficult for conventional X-rays.
The systems are all designed to be reliable, versatile and easy-to-use to ensure that manufacturers receive the highest quality and dependable inspection equipment that they and their customers demand.
Eagle Product Inspection - formerly Smiths Detection PID - machines meet today’s HACCP - Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Points - certification requirements to ensure that manufacturers’ brand reputations and their customers are well protected.

Portal www.itfoodonline.com: the portal featuring technology for the food and beverage industry
Itfoodonline is the portal dedicated to technologies for the food and beverage industry: machines, systems, components and raw materials.
It contains information on Italian and foreign manufacturers of systems, equipment and machined for the production of food and beverage products, agro-alimentary products and specific products for the oil and dairy sectors and for the bottling of still and fizzy drinks. In the dough-making sector we present kneading machines, rolling machines, breaking machines and shaping machines, in the short and long, dry and fresh pasta-making sector: driers, extrusion machines and shapes, continuous kneading machines, helicoidal kneading machines, sieves, boilers for gnocchi and pasteurising machines, steam generators, coolers and freezers, in the cake and bread making sector: pourers, fillers biscuit cutters, cooling conveyor belts, freezing tunnels, roll makers, rounding devices for bread buns, confectionery cases, refiners and raising cabinets. Ovens for biscuits, fixed carriage bread baking ovens, rotary carriage bread baking ovens, fixed sheet bread baking ovens, fixed carriage patisserie ovens, rotary carriage patisserie ovens, sheet patisserie ovens, steam ovens, cooling tunnels, planetary kneading machines and helicoidal kneading machines.
In the animal preservation sector we present manufacturers of: cookers, white chambers, filling machines, cubing machines, tenderisers, cutlet making machines, slicing and dosing machines, bone saws and coolers.
In the vegetable preservation sector: systems for processing tomato, pasteurising machines, fruit and vegetable processing machines, machines for transforming agricultural products, optic selectors, vegetable washing systems, stoning machines, coring machines and peelers.
The portal present the companies that manufacture machines and systems for packing food products as well as liquid and dense products, vertical packers, horizontal packers, boxers, shapers and closing devices, as well as machines for packing in modified atmosphere and everything that regards the end of the packing line and the conveyor belt to pallet loading and unloading machines right through to the storage and food warehouse stage, where the hygiene laws in force require particular production specifications depending on the foodstuff produced. In the dairy sector for instance, the use of stainless steel is required in contact with the fresh product with non-toxic plastic materials for manoeuvring and temporary storage and storing for maturing.
Special attention is reserved for the manufacturers of industrial automation for all things concerning actuators, direct drive motors, step by step motors, control unit systems with bus applicative software and electronic instrumentation for controlling production such as: pH-meters, oximeters, kits for chemical analysis and searches for pathogens: lysteria, botulinium, salmonella, campylobacter, shigella, vibrio, e. 0157:H7, process instruments, humidity sensors and thermometers used throughout the food industry.
In compliance with the HACCP law which sets extremely strict rules in defence of the food product and those who consume it, particular importance is taken on by everything concerning industrial cleaning, signification and hygienising, industrial flooring, industrial cleaning machines, detergents specific to the sector, machines for washing equipment such as baking dish washers, table washers and utensil washers but also for cleaning the clothes and footwear worn by operators and therefore: boot washers and dryers, apron washers, shoe washers, sterilising equipment for personal hygiene; stainless steel hand basins, sprays for hands for safety in the workplace: eye baths and emergency showers.
Lastly, as with every production process, it is necessary to store the product and manoeuvre it inside the warehouse using suitable mechanical equipment, the storage shelves must be safe both for the product and for the operators, so metallic shelving is required and the warehouse will be suitable for holding the stock, with structures in brick or with structures and flexible and retractable and covers with loading ramps and automatic, flexible or shutter doors.
In conclusion itfoodonline supplies every indispensable solution for the food industry for the correct production, manoeuvring, cooling, hygienising and sanitisation, storage and transport of all food products, offering the right answer to the whole food and beverage industry, from automation to the end of the line, from packing to storage, with extensive use of robotic lines and automatic machines, to food processing.
