IN-LINE MEAT & SEAFOOD ANALYSIS
BY TOMRA'S QVISION

The QVision is a fat, protein, and moisture analysis machine for the meat and seafood industry. The QVision analyzer allows meat and seafood suppliers to provide a consistent product quality that provides considerable savings by increasing profitability and simplifying daily operations.

The innovative QVision can analyze both fresh and frozen meat/seafood, and it measures fat, moisture, protein, and collagen simultaneously and in real-time, delivering highly accurate and consistent results.

The hygienic and robust analyzer penetrates far into the Meat, up to 20 mm, and measures across the full 500 mm width of its conveyer belt.

The design is open so that all surfaces can be visually inspected and sanitized using high-pressure water.

The QVision can analyze up to 30 tons of Meat per hour, making it an ideal choice for high-volume processors.

This, along with the consistent end-product quality and savings generated through reduced lean give-away, helps you drive profits.

Key features

Sensor Technology

The QVision analyser applies unique interactance spectroscopy technology which measures VIS-Near Infrared light that has penetrated deep into the meat before it is analysed. This feature allows both fresh and frozen food products to be analysed at very high accuracies and capacities.
As the full width of the belt is scanned, and combined with the information from the integrated weigh cell, real-time measurement of the entire product is possible.

Product Benefits

  • Consistent end product quality
  • Large savings in reduced lean give-away
  • Smarter purchasing through quality control of raw materials
  • Reduce human and sampling errors
  • Full quality traceability and documentation of batches
  • Increased throughput
  • Integration possible for automated batch formulation

Advanced Analysis Criteria

  • Fat
  • Moisture
  • Protein
  • Collagen
