- Mettler-Toledo Product Inspection, a global leader in precision instruments and inspection solutions, has extended its high-performance x-ray portfolio in Europe with the reintroduction of the Eagle Product Inspection product line.
Food manufacturers can benefit from an unmatched product portfolio of advanced x-ray inspection solutions from a single supplier, with local sales, support and service expertise. Custom-made inspection solutions for demanding production lines include advanced dual energy photon-counting technology, raw material inspection systems and additional inline fat analysis capabilities for meat and poultry applications.
Strengthening the High-Performance X-ray Portfolio
Eagle will operate as a dedicated product line within the Mettler-Toledo Product Inspection division and is positioned at the premium end of the inspection market. The portfolio addresses applications requiring enhanced detection sensitivity, hygienic system design, and engineered-to-order configurations.
At the centre of the range is proprietary dual energy photon-counting detector technology PXT™. Unlike conventional detectors, photon-counting measures individual x-ray photons, improving material discrimination and enhancing sensitivity in complex product environments. This is particularly valuable in raw meat and poultry applications, where bone fragments and low-density contaminants can be difficult to distinguish from good product.
Designed for Demanding Meat and Poultry Environments
The European portfolio, which will be manufactured in Royston, United Kingdom, focuses on customised applications where inspection performance directly impacts yield, quality, and compliance. Customers can benefit from shorter lead times and reduced transportation costs.
In addition to high-sensitivity x-ray inspection, the portfolio includes fat analysis systems for inline composition measurement. These systems allow processors to monitor fat-to-lean ratios in real-time, supporting tighter production control and improved consistency.
Selected high-performance packaged x-ray systems will also become available in Europe, extending capability in specialist inspection applications that demand enhanced detection performance.
European Debut of MAXIMIZER RMI at Interpack
At Interpack 2026, Mettler-Toledo will present the MAXIMIZER RMI in Europe for the first time. Developed primarily for deboned poultry inspection, the MAXIMIZER RMI integrates Eagle RMI 400 x-ray technology with an automated material handling and reject management solution designed for high-throughput raw product environments.
The system combines dual-lane inspection with structured reject review and rework processes, supporting detection performance alongside operational efficiency. Application trials have demonstrated high probability of detection and measurable reductions in unnecessary product rejection, supporting improved yield while maintaining rigorous quality control standards.
Inspect. Protect. Comply.
The expanded portfolio aligns with the Inspect. Protect. Comply. philosophy of Mettler-Toledo Product Inspection. Manufacturers gain the ability to inspect with greater sensitivity through photon-counting x-ray and advanced raw material inspection systems. They can further protect their brands, profits, and productivity plus easily comply with increasing regulatory and customer requirements through engineered inspection solutions designed for demanding production environments.
“We are excited to have strengthened the capability of Mettler-Toledo in high-performance inspection,” said Mr Chris Plant, Head of Market Management, Global Sales at Mettler-Toledo Safeline X-ray. “We have added specialist photon-counting x-ray and raw material inspection technologies from Eagle Product Inspection that complement the existing portfolio. By bringing these technologies to Europe, processors gain broader choice, advanced detection performance and comprehensive support through one organisation.”
Eagle by Mettler-Toledo systems are now available across Europe through local Mettler-Toledo Market Organisations.
