An anticipated highlight of this year’s PROCESS EXPO is a live beef patty production line that will be set up on the show floor, demonstrating the step-by-step innovations and technologies behind making hamburgers. An advanced inspection system from Eagle Production Inspection installed at the end of that line will show how x-ray machines and supporting software can be easily integrated into the patty-making process and ensure the production of high quality, consistent and safe burgers.
At PROCESS EXPO 2019, held Oct. 8-11 at Chicago’s McCormick Place, the Eagle Pack 400 HC machine will be set up at the end of the live line to inspect packaged burger patties. The cost-effective complete x-ray system inspects packages of patties for contaminants while also checking for the desired patty shape and weight, identifying any voids and verifying the number of burgers. The Pack 400 HC, capable of high-speed imaging up to 60 meters a minute, can be used to inspect a range of packaged meat, poultry, dairy and other food products in settings that require daily sanitation of equipment.
