Smiths Detection Product Inspection Unit, part of the global technology business Smiths Group, is expanding its global reach in the food processors industry as companies of all sizes respond positively to its Eagle X-ray system. In the last six months alone, Smiths Detection has provided over $14 million in X-ray equipment to some of the world’s leading food manufacturers.
Companies are investing in Smiths cutting-edge technologies to help ensure the safety of their products. Its Eagle series’ unique range of capabilities allows for greater accuracy in evaluating various products moving through its single to multi-view inspection systems.
Brad Mueller, President of Smiths Detection Product Inspection said: “Smiths Detection’s focus on leveraging X-ray technology breakthroughs in adjacent markets is paying off. We are pleased with the progress of the Eagle series and proud to provide these advanced inspection systems that enable the world’s food processors to protect their brands and consumers.”
Prominent consumer food products companies around the world rely on Smiths Detection inspection systems for detecting contaminants, providing check weighing, fat analysis, and verification of product integrity through verification of size, shape and count functions.
Recently, a leading provider of frozen meals invested in 14 Eagle X-ray inspection systems to provide enhanced quality control on its manufacturing lines; one of the world’s largest baby food companies has installed the most advanced glass-glass inspection system, the Eagle QuadView to inspect its products, and an ice cream manufacturer has implemented x-ray inspection on all its lines to keep its promise of providing only the highest quality products to market. These are only a few examples of the commitments that the world’s food processors are making to protect their consumers.
Ken’s Food’s VP of Engineering Dave Muskopf said, “Smiths Detection’s equipment is an Integral component of our Manufacturing capabilities. Smiths recently provided Kens with three Eagle X-ray Units which we use for contaminant inspection and check weighing. Part of our continued success is to ensure that our products are of the highest quality. The Eagle product inspection systems provide an additional insurance we need to help make that possible.”
Smiths Detection is increasing its global reach with multiple installations in more than 40 countries globally, protecting the business of food producers the world over.
