Find out about the different process elements…
Scanning Fillets can now be scanned by SensorX. Fillets feed automatically into the system and are automatically checked for bone remnants and other foreign objects using advanced X-ray technology. SensorX commonly achieves a 99% detection rate on calcified bones larger than 2 mm in their smallest dimension with false positives below 3%. If a fillet contains bone remnants, it is conveyed back to the trimming station automatically, trimmed and sent through SensorX a second time. Fillets without bone remnants are moved, untouched by hand to the next process step. Ever stricter demands are being placed on food safety. Bone detection plays an important role here. By detecting bone using SensorX you lower product risk and raise product quality. Smart handling belts to optimize inline logistics At various points in the process fillets are positioned automatically without having to be touched by human hand. Different smart handling belts have been developed to achieve this. The required belt configuration also depends on how product is to be fed to the connecting equipment. In this context you could think of automatic weighing/grading, batching, slicing or portioning. All these steps demand that the fillet is positioned and oriented in a specific way. For each configuration and for each subsequent step in your process we can put together a custom combination of fillet handling belts where the aim is to position the fillet accurately and touch it only when necessary. This kind of solution contributes to higher fillet yields, higher quality of your end products and reduces the need for manual work. Possible in-line downstream solutions Smart fillet handling prepares fillet in the best possible way for various subsequent steps. In the meantime, the product will have been visually inspected, scanned and, if necessary, trimmed. Various fillet handling belts are used to position the fillet accurately depending on the next step in the process.

The in-line FHF-XB / SensorX smart fillet handling solution at a glance
With in-line FHF-XB / SensorX and smart fillet handling solutions you get the olutions th best de-boning and scanning technologies currently available in the market ailable market. You prepare safe and valuable product for various end of line solutions. Fillet handling adds maximum value to your process. High product quality: fillets are only touched and trimmed if necessary. Because of automatic correct positioning, operators can concentrate on fewer different tasks. This leads to higher product quality. High yield: Reduction in the amount of trimmings. Only products that really need trimming are reworked. Labor saving: up to 2 persons per line. Smart logistics: automatic optimum product transport and positioning for easy visual inspection, retrimming and positioning for subsequent process steps. Increase product security: products are scanned by SensorX for bone remnants – adds extra security.
