Cantrell Gainco, a Fortifi Company, has been named the exclusive full-service distributor of AICON X-ray inspection equipment to poultry processors in the United States.

Under the agreement, Cantrell Gainco will provide sales, service, and support for AICON systems across poultry primary, secondary, further processing, and prepared food operations. The partnership expands Cantrell Gainco’s food safety and automation offerings with advanced inspection technology designed to detect contaminants and defects in poultry products.

AICON’s product line includes solutions such as the SCAN XR-500 poultry machine, which combines imaging and weight classification for raw product inspection. Its systems also feature photon counting technology, AISoft, and IP69K-rated equipment for use in hygienic environments. The machines integrate with Cantrell Gainco’s live data tracking software to support quality assurance and operational visibility.

To facilitate faster service response, Cantrell Gainco will stock and ship AICON spare parts from its Gainesville, Georgia, warehouse. In addition to poultry processing, the company will also distribute and support AICON equipment for other food industries in non-exclusive roles.

According to Cantrell Gainco, the partnership reflects both companies’ commitments to providing reliable equipment and responsive service to meet evolving industry needs.
