Description

Small, hard and calcified bones are difficult to detect in poultry and meat because of their low density and because their shape varies with the age and breed of the animal and with the cut. The Foodman dual energy X-ray system is designed for this task in modern poultry and meat plants.

It inspects boneless raw meat such as chicken breasts, legs and wings as well as processed products such as nuggets, sausages and patties, and also improves the detection of other non-metallic contaminants. Using two X-ray energy spectra, it separates meat tissue from low-density bone.

Detection technology

  • Dual-energy detectors down to 0.1 mm (0.1, 0.2, 0.4 or 0.8 mm TDI) for very small rib bones, small metal fragments and calcified bones.
  • FDX (Foodman Dual Energy X-ray) imaging for small rib bones, calcified bones and other low-density contaminants.
  • FIAP image processing with AI algorithms that refine detection in real time.

Throughput and yield

The system inspects up to 120 pieces per minute. Its algorithms keep false rejects low, reducing waste and improving yield. X-ray penetration also works on dense frozen blocks, where metal detectors are less effective.

Construction

SUS304 stainless steel frame, IP66 protection, 17-inch Windows touch screen and support for various reject devices. Connectivity includes Ethernet/IP, USB, TCP/IP and Modbus TCP/RTU. X-ray emissions are below 1 μSv/h.
