Meat processors and suppliers wanting to improve quality and boost their bottom line are invited to check out TOMRA Sorting Food’s QVision 500 fat analyzer in action from January 27-29 at the International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE) in Atlanta, Georgia, where the company will hold forth at Booth B-8327.

The innovative system, which can analyze both frozen and non-frozen meat, measures fat, moisture, protein and collagen simultaneously, and in real-time, delivering highly accurate and consistent results. The hygienic and robust analyzer penetrates up to 1” deep into the meat and measures across the full 20” width of the processing line’s conveyor belt.

We have made great efforts to design the system to meet the meat industry’s demanding requirements and address the needs of our customers.”

Q Vision TomraNiermeyer noted that the QVision is able to analyze up to 30 tons per hour, making it “an ideal choice for high volume meat processors.” Also for small and medium batch size processors, due to the accuracy of the QVision, it allows precise recipe formulation.
