Fat-analysis x-ray system

The co. introduces its new Eagle™ FA, an advanced fat analysis x-ray system, which utilizes dual-energy x-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) technology, enabling real-time scanning of both meat and poultry for foreign objects and meat composition. Designed to meet the rigors of AMI sanitary standards, the 6-ft, in-line system enables the inspection and processing of up to 160 tons/hr of all meat products, whether fresh or frozen. The automatic system includes a rejection device that ensures foreign objects are removed from production. Also features a 45-sec automated calibration routine, batching and blending control functions and a small footprint.
