MeatMaster™ II
10Pages

MeatMaster™ II gives continuous "real time" measurements of fat content and weight of all the meat passing through the instrument on its built-in conveyor. It can scan up to 38 tons per hour and also performs foreign object detection. Options include an after grinder version and a compact version (Approx. 1.5 metres) when space is tight.

Measure it all with 100% scanning The MeatMaster II offers you a complete picture of all the meat trimmings passing through your production. With a capacity of up to 38 tons per hour for analysis of raw meat, the MeatMaster can measure fat content, determine the weight and scan for foreign objects. X-ray technology gives a 100% scanning of all meat, regardless of the size of the pieces and whether they are fresh or frozen or packed in plastic or cardboard boxes. Typical uses include: the coarse grinder allows inspection of raw material early on in the production process, protecting you...

Technology 100% control with X-ray X-ray scans 100% of the meat passing through the scanning area. X-ray can be used for scanning chilled or frozen raw meat and will give information about content of Fat, Weight and will detect foreign objects with a density higher than 1.7 g/cm3 (metal, bone, glass, etc.) The FOSS patented X-ray system in MeatMaster results in the highest possible accuracy. The system scans meat in the form of whole cuts, trimmings or minced meat up to 20 cm in height. The meat can be in cartons, plastic trays or loose on the belt, chilled and/or frozen. MeatMasterTM...

Mixer Grinder Control production of trimmings The fat content in meat trimmings has traditionally been measured by periodic tests by ‘butcher’s eye’ or chemical analysis methods. However, such methods do not offer satisfactory Grinder accuracy for trim product and process control. Routine analysis based on X-ray will give you much more control of your trim production and will help you to optimize the sales value of your trimmings. • Avoid lean meat give away in each carton and/or pallet/ combo Mixer • Optimize the value of trim categories by reducing the variation between each carton on a...

Batch standardization A fast and accurate standardisation process is the key to success in production of ground meat based products. With MeatMaster it is possible to obtain accuracy at a batch level of 0.5% absolute (SD) or even better. Typically, your accuracy in assessing fat content of batches is improved by 2-3% absolute, leading to a significant improvement in earnings. The payback time of the investment can be as low as a few months. Using MeatMaster for batch standardization, you can: • Optimize use of raw material • Do fast standardization of batches • Increase line efficiency by...

Objective grading of cuts With x-ray technology it is possible objectively to grade whole cuts like pork bellies, pork hams etc. into uniform categories, which is not achievable via the traditional visual inspection. The grading is based on fat measurement and can be combined with image recognition. Improving the ham curing process: the MeatMaster software gives you the ability to scan joints of ham for fat content of the meat while ignoring the bone. The benefits of this technology apply for manufacturers of bacon, producers of dry ham products and other manufacturers of finished meat...

MeatMaster II designed for the meat production environment Easy to integrate Via the remote access the FOSS expert can monitor the performance of MeatMaster, implement possible needed adjustments of calibration, software etc. It all serves the purpose to secure accurate performance and highest possible uptime of the MeatMaster. MeatMaster II is easy to integrate in-line in your production with a special compact version available for tight spaces and thereby easier to integrate as an ‘in-line’ analyser in production plants.
