Eagle Product Inspection FA3/M multi-application system for inline fat measurement and contaminant detection

The Eagle Product Inspection FA3/M is a multi-application system that provides inline fat measurement and contaminant detection for fresh, chilled, frozen and hot-boned loose bulk, frozen or tempered (naked) meat blocks and unwrapped meat conveyed in plastic crates.

Contaminants such as calcified bone, metal fragments, glass shards and some rubber and plastic components can be detected with high levels of accuracy, while other measurements, such as weight, component counts and chemical lean (CL) values can be calculated simultaneously. In addition, the ability to fine-tune the image processing elements on an application basis reduces false reject rates and therefore wastage percentages.

The systems have been designed for hygienic or high washdown environments and are easy to clean and easy to maintain, further enhancing productivity.
