Common Frustrations – Sound Familiar?
"How long until someone shows up?"
Service calls that take days. Support routed through international offices. Your line stays down.
"A 3% false reject rate is 'best in class'?"
Every false reject means wasted labor, wasted product, and operators standing around.
"Another 10-minute restart?"
Competitor systems take 5-10 minutes to boot. That's hours of lost production every month.
"Why does this require 6 people?"
If your trim stations need 4-6 operators, you're paying for someone else's inefficiency.
Labor. Rework. Waste. Downtime. The TDI PDE system pays for itself across every category

Time Savings
Startup in 30 seconds, not 5–10 minutes.
No product styling requiredCost savings
Lower purchase price and operating costs.
Better specs at a lower price
- Precision rejection
Single-piece reject vs. 18” gap; reduces waste. - No styling labor
Bulk-flow design – no separating, indexing, and orienting. - Faster trim work
Backlit trim stations make bone location obvious. - No AC unit costs
Heat exchanger cooling. Nothing extra to maintain.
Payback begins Day One. Not month six.
Not year two. Day One.
"We ran the demo for two months and refused to give it back. The detection was better than anything we'd seen, and when we had a question at 6am, someone actually picked up the phone. That never happened with our old system."

Detect What Others Miss. No Styling Required.
COMPETITOR
Must be separated, indexed, oriented (“styled”).
TDI PDE
Bulk flow—touching, overlapping, no problem. No false positives. Full belt coverage.
Detection Capabilities
System Capabilities
Dual-energy X-ray plus AI-powered smart algorithms. If the contaminant can be seen, it can be detected.
- <2mm Bone Detection Sensitivity
Industry-leading precision – catch what others miss. - <1% False Reject Rate
Others claim 3% is “best.” We cut that by two-thirds. - MULTI-Contaminant Detection
Detects bone, metal, glass, and more in one system –.no metal detector required. - 100% Full Belt Coverage
No edge dead zones – complete inspection across the entire belt width. - IP69K True Washdown Rating
304 bead-blasted stainless steel – heat exchanger cooling – no bagging required.
Unmatched Support You Can Rely On
When your line goes down, every minute costs money. That's why we built our support model around one principle: get you back up and running, fast.
Our 24/7 American-based support team answers your call directly. No routing through international offices. No multi-day wait times. When you need on-site service, we guarantee a technician at your facility within 48 hours

Real Results from Real Facilities
75% Reduction in False Rejects
2,000+ pieces per minute. Replaced competitor system with TDI Packsys PDE.
- False reject rate: 3.2% → 0.8%
- $1.2M annual labor savings
- Eliminated separate metal detector
“The difference was night and day.”
60% Fewer Operators
Limited floor space. Competitor said it couldn’t be done.
- Custom design fit 40% less space
- Trim operators: 5 → 2
- Caught contamination competitor missed
“TDI [Packsys] worked with us to design a system that fit our constraints. The competitor told us it wasn’t possible.”
Frequently Asked Questions
How does validation testing work?
We run your actual product through the system and provide detailed detection reports. You’ll see exactly what we catch, including bone size, location, and reject accuracy, before you make any commitment.
What training is required for operators?
Most operators are up and running within a few hours. The system is intuitive, and we provide on-site training during installation. No complex certification required.
Can this retrofit into our existing line?
Yes. Every TDI Packsys system is custom-designed for your facility. We work with your engineering team during a 1-2 month consultative process to ensure it fits.
What does the 48-hour service guarantee cover?
If you have an issue that can’t be resolved remotely, we guarantee a technician on-site within 48 hours. Our American-based team is available 24/7.
How does dual-energy detection work?
Dual-energy x-ray uses two different energy levels to distinguish between materials based on density. This allows detection of bone, metal, glass, and plastic at the same time. Single-energy systems can’t do that.
What's the typical timeline from order to installation?
Most installations are complete within 3-4 months from order, including the custom engineering and design process.
How do you achieve under 1% false reject?
Our dual-energy technology and advanced software distinguish actual foreign material from acceptable product density variations. Unlike competitor systems, ours don’t just reject anything that looks dense, including overlapping product.
What power requirements does the system need?
A: Single 480V, 3-phase power drop. We include a step-down transformer in the system, so electrical installation is straightforward.
Is the system truly IP69K rated?
Yes, with no exceptions. Our heat exchanger cooling system is fully enclosed. You can spray it down like any other equipment on your line. No bagging, no special procedures.
Can the system handle overlapping products?
Yes. Our bulk flow capability means product can touch, overlap, and flow naturally. No false positives from overlapping pieces, and no need to separate or “style” product before inspection.
What maintenance is required?
Annual certification is all most facilities need. These systems are built to run. 99% of service calls turn out to be user error or external damage, not equipment failure.
Do you provide remote support?
Yes. Our 24/7 American-based team can troubleshoot most issues remotely before dispatching a technician.
What's included in the warranty?
12-month parts and workmanship warranty, plus 90-day labor warranty. Annual certification is included.
Can I see the system before purchasing?
Absolutely. Our free demo program installs a working system in your facility so you can evaluate performance with your actual product. No commitment required.
Best-in-class detection. American-based support. 48-hour guarantee.
