Perfect beef trim for further processing
Marel introduces a new Trim management system, an integrated system consisting of a StreamLine Trimming line and SensorX Fat Analysis scanner.
Based on Marel’s extensive knowledge in x-ray technology, the system is designed to analyse red meat trim for its fat/lean ratio, enabling processors to hit target fat percentages by grading and batching trim to specification.
Knowing the accurate fat percentage of primals entering the process is valuable, but controlling what actually comes out of the process will give processors even more added value - including reduced lean giveaway and less requirement for rework.
SensorX scans batches of beef trim from the StreamLine for accurate chemical lean ratio and density variations. Clever software enables SensorX to then analyse these variations and detect hazardous contaminants like bone or determine the precise chemical lean ratio.
The results are sent to a grading/batching system where trim batches are collected to a target chemical lean ratio. This provides customers with the exact fat-lean ratio they require for further processing (for example 50/50, 75/25 or 80/20).
Hit your target in 4 easy steps
Step 1: Batches of trim and fat from the StreamLine
enter the SensorX.
Step 2: SensorX scans each batch for contaminants,
chemical lean ratio and weight.
Step 3: Results are sent to a Marel Trim Grader which
distributes the trim according to specification.
Step 4: Batches of accurate chemical lean ratio are
formed based on processor's requirements.
