Meat and poultry
Calcified bones, fragments of knives and machinery, thawing meat blocks that holds up production for two days. These are the typical concerns of meat processing.
Typical challenges
Bones and bone fragments
A metal detector cannot find bone. An X-ray system detects calcified bone even in minced meat or sausages.
Metal from machinery and knives
Stainless steel fragments of knives, sieves and grinders, even in products packed in aluminium foil.
Thawing blocks
24–48 hours in a thawing room and 5–10 % weight loss. Microwaves do it in minutes.
Retailer requirements
An image of every product and records for IFS and BRC audits.
How we can help
X-ray inspection of meat products
X-ray inspects trays, sausages, minced meat and blocks. For unpacked raw material, such as meat before mincing, BULK MIDMEKI is the right choice.
X-rayTempering meat blocks
A 10 kg block of chicken breast from −18 °C to −2 °C in 7 minutes, ready for slicing or mincing. No drip loss and no weight loss.

18 tonnes of meat a day: tempering instead of 18 hours of thawing
A sausage producer thawed blocks of pork, chicken and beef in open air for over 18 hours. A NutriTemp Batch microwave unit now tempers them in under 5 minutes with no water loss.
