Since MeatMaster™ was first launched in 2003, more than 500 units have been installed globally, covering applications as meat trimming in boxes or transported loose on the conveyor. The groundbreaking in-line X-ray analysis with MeatMaster™ has proven to be a great way to optimize quality and earnings by efficiently managing the fat/lean mix in the product while simultaneously checking for foreign objects.
Standing on wheels, the unique flexibility makes it easy to fit the MeatMaster™ Flex into any production facility, with a minimum of space and installation requirement.
A tilting function makes it possible to tilt the conveyor up to 10 degrees and the main unit can be installed in two different heights.
The intuitive recipe solution guides the operator to secure that batch targets are reached. The monitor will display the target volume and fat content of the selected batch. As the batch is produced, information about the development in volume and fat content is shown. Finally, also information about a detected foreign object will appear.
Advantages:
• No need for manual calculation (avoid risk of human errors)
• No need to use and maintain an external software program
• Increased productivity
