On-Line and At-Line Measurement in Meat Processing to reduce Lean Give-Away and meet Quality and Batch Target Values

With pressure from the consumer and supply chain alike to know that the fat content of ground beef for hamburgers and supermarket portions meets the stated value, there is a need to measure fat in the process in order to make adjustments to the batch average. In pork processing for sausage manufacture and other products the fat content is also critical.

Controlling on-line or at-line presents opportunities to reduce lean give-away and to speed up batch release, as well as to reduce the frequency of external prioduct testing.

NDC Infrared Engineering has developed its in-line Foods Gauge, the MM710e, to make real-time measurements not just of fat in meat products, but of moisture and protein, too, and can also be supplied via our OEM partners as part of a complete batch blending control system.

The InfraLab at-line foods analyzer provides accurate measurements of fat in grab samples taken from the process for quality assurance purposes.
