In fact, the MXV-meat machine can process large quantities of meat while simultaneously trac­king the fat/meat percentage throughout the process. This ensures that your package, at the end of the line, maintains the desired meat percentage necessary for creating your desired products. With its highest detection level and specially designed software, the MXV-meat machine can iden­tify even the smallest hypodermic needle fragments within products, making it truly exceptional in its field.

• High capacity: The MXV-meat boasts the impressive capability of scanning up to 3000 E2 crates of raw meat per hour, while the MXV Bulk FP can check a stream of 1200 frozen patties per minute.

• Versatility: Handles various formats, including E2 boxes of meat, raw pieces, blocks, and packaged products, and can be integrated in-line for trimming processes. Possibility to determine the percentage of salt or fat in all kinds of raw and packaged products.

• Cost of ownership: Integration of state-of-the-art, durable X-ray generators and cameras minimizes maintenance and ownership expenses.

• High capacity: The belt width of 600 mm is a unique setup in the market. This allows (depending on the customer’s product) for three streams of 125 pieces per minute or two streams of larger products at 100 pieces per minute.

• Easy maintenance: Marelec has opted to use highly reputed international brands for electrical, safety and other components. All motors and encoders are situated away from the wet area, which ensures a long lifetime. There are limited lubrication points. This results in the lowest operational cost.

Unique features

• X-ray in combination with PORTIO: Integration with a PORTIO unit enables precise detection of bone within meat products. This capability is utilized for automated cutting processes, and is particularly useful for separating meat between the ribs. This integration can reduce the need for up to 8 people in a production area by automating the bone-detection and cutting process, thus optimizing manpower and improving operational efficiency.

• Fat/lean measurements in combination with foreign body detection: The MXV-meat excels in detecting foreign bodies, such as 0.6-0.8 mm stainless steel, inside E2 crates (600x400x200 mm). Simultaneously, it performs accurate measurements of fat/lean content in the meat products passing through the machine. This dual functionality is facilitated by advanced software that accumulates the weights and fat/lean ratios of the inspected crates.

• Detection of hypodermic needles: Utilizing Ultra High-Definition technology and specialized software, the MXV-Meat can detect hypodermic needles within boxes of meat, regardless of whether they contain bone. This feature ensures comprehensive safety checks and compliance with food safety regulations.
