For Slaughterhouses
Fat management focuses on reducing lean giveaway and costs associated with fat claims and shipping out-of-specification product resulting in higher yields and operating margins.
FAT
MEASUREMENT MEAT INSPECTION
QUALITY, CONSISTENCY AND TRACEABILITY
Fat measurement of meat provides precise chemical lean values (better than +/- 1 CL), ensuring the ‘specification you buy, is the specification you get’ while enabling vastly improved fat management.
With the use of Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) technology, Eagle’s fat measurement meat inspection equipment checks 100% of fresh and frozen meat. Fat Analysis (FA) systems provide highly accurate chemical lean values of meat, while simultaneously verifying mass (critical for batch and recipe management), as well as detecting a wide range of physical contaminants, including metal, glass, stone and calcified bone.
From slaughterhouse to packaging
For Grinders and Other Meat Processors
It’s all about yield: ensuring on-specification purchased trim, precise recipe management and formulation, and elimination of rework resulting in consistent high quality meat products.
