Overview

The FA3/C provides inline fat measurement and contaminant detection of packaged meat products in cardboard cartons, plastic crates and vacuum-packed blocks.

Eagle’s FA3/C inline fat analysis machine use DEXA to discriminate between fat and lean portions of 100% of product throughput, providing Chemical Lean (CL) measurements to better than +/- 1CL accuracy. The FA3/C is hygienically constructed to sanitary design and operates at industry throughputs in excess of 2,400 packages per hour. The system simultaneously performs the following inline product integrity checks with no degradation in inspection performance at full throughput: Contaminant detection, Protein calculations, Fat analysis, Moisture calculations of the meat, Chemical lean, Mass measurement.
