Meyn now introduces a new bone detection system which combines extraordinary accuracy with unequalled high capacity: the Meyn BoneScan 440 ADX. The system, with an unrivaled capacity of up to 250 butterflies or 440 split fillets per minute, can replace two competitor systems, saving significantly on initial investment, operating cost, labor as well as floor space. The all new dual energy X-ray imaging technology and completely renewed analyzing software guarantee detection rates of 99% or higher with a false reject rate of less than 3% on all important bone types, meeting QSR (Quick Service Restaurants) specifications.

Benchmark tests with competitor systems show that the Meyn BoneScan 440 ADX is taking the lead in scanning accuracy while the throughput is, as always, unmatched. The Meyn BoneScan 440 ADX will detect calcified bones as small as 2 mm. Apart from bones, also metal, glass and stone can be detected. Products that are suspected to contain bone or other contaminants are automatically removed from the product flow and dropped in a bin or onto a discharge conveyor for further manual inspection. The system is easy to operate, clean and maintain.

The new detection software makes it possible to process a wide product weight range within one setting. This avoids having to sort the products on weight first, as the weight of the individual products is automatically determined by the software, guaranteeing an optimum scanning accuracy. The suspected fillets are visualized at the rework station, facilitating the operator in finding the detected bone. The reporting tool creates clear overviews of the statistics and event logs, giving management a comprehensible insight of the production performance.
