“In-line X-ray analysis with the MeatMaster™ II helps us to optimise food safety and increase the value of our beef trimmings.”
See how MeatMaster™ II is used at Danish Crown to make the most of beef trimmings.
The smart-enabled MeatMaster™ II is the leading in-line fat analyser offering you unmatched accuracy for higher value creation than any other solution.
Easy to integrate ‘in-line’ into production, scanning up to approx. 50 tons per hour. Standard options include measuring of fat content, weight determination and inspection for foreign objects.
100% scanning of all raw meat including foreign object detection. Scans all types of raw meat, whether fresh or frozen.
Any type of raw meat, chilled or frozen. Packed meat or loose on the conveyor.
Fat, weight and foreign object detection (metal, bone).
MeatMaster™ II is smart-enabled, giving you the opportunity to receive remote monitoring by a FOSS service technician. Get daily notifications if something needs to be adjusted and regular reports to keep you posted about instrument performance and accuracy.
X-ray scans 100% of the meat passing through the scanning area for optimal fat% control and high food safety. X-ray can be used for scanning chilled or frozen raw meat – loose on the conveyor or in trays and boxes. Measure meat in trays, boxes or loose on the conveyor.
Efficiency and cost savings can be found through improved standardisation or production: • Avoid lean meat give away in each carton and/or pallet/combo • Optimise the value of trim categories by reducing the variation between each carton on a pallet • Reduce the risk of fat fines/fat claims • Stop foreign objects getting into the final products • Get a protocol (fat, weight and foreign object detection) for use in case of disputes
With X-ray technology it is possible to objectively grade whole cuts like pork bellies, pork hams etc. into uniform categories, which is not achievable via traditional visual inspection. The grading is based on fat measurement and can be combined with image recognition. The benefits of this technology apply to producers of bacon, dry ham products and other finished meat products based on whole meat cuts. Suppliers of raw meat cuts can also ensure that deliveries are to specification (fat content, size, length, width, thickness) and without foreign objects.
