Dual X Inspection


For raw, unpackaged products, Anritsu has introduced the Dual X Inspection System. What makes this dual energy X-ray inspection system so noteworthy? Here are just a few of its many notable qualities:

  • It harnesses new, industry-leading technology to deliver an extremely accurate, high-speed reading of poultry and meat products at a great value.
  • It’s unique in how it analyzes two different X-ray energy signals, allowing the system to distinguish between the product you’re processing and contaminants – for a higher detection rate of items like wishbones, scapula and fan bones, along with metal fragments and more.
  • It's the ideal system for chicken and turkey breast meat, deboned thighs and tenders.
  • It’s engineered for an attractively low total cost of ownership (TCO).
