Fat analysis machine best for accurate meat inspection. The FA3/M is a multi-application system for meat inspection that provides precise fat measurement to +/-1 CL with the use of Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) technology. It performs fat measurement and contaminant detection for fresh, chilled, frozen and hot-boned loose bulk, frozen or tempered (“naked”) meat blocks and unwrapped meat conveyed in plastic crates.
Eagle’s inline fat analysis machine helps red meat slaughterhouses and processors to optimize raw material use, comply with end-product specifications and maximize profits. The FA3/M operates at industry throughputs up to 2,400 plastic crates or frozen blocks per hour, or up to 35 tons per hour of bulk meat.
The FA3/M fat analysis machine is hygienically designed to meet NAMI/EHEDG sanitary standards for durability in harsh washdown environments. The PRODUCT SWITCH™ function allows products with different meat inspection requirements to run on the same line.
The FA systems simultaneously performs the following inline product integrity checks with no degradation in meat inspection performance at full throughput:

Our Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) technology to inspect 100% of throughput in real-time, providing fat measurement accuracy better than +/- 1 CL, while simultaneously verifying mass and detecting physical contaminants.
SimulTask™ PRO, short for Simultaneous Tasking, is Eagle’s advanced x-ray image analysis software and is the basis for all our operator-friendly x-ray inspection systems. With the highest greyscale range of 65,535 values, you will see deeper contrast and subtle differences that provide superior image results.
The Eagle TraceServer™ x-ray software program records valuable production data and machine status information from one or more of Eagle’s fat analysis machines and consolidates it into a single centralized database. This intelligent software provides companies with due-diligence capabilities to enhance product traceability and overall food quality assurance.
Exclusive to Eagle, this radically enhanced dual energy detector captures more detailed information about a product than previously possible. When this product information is instantly processed by Eagle’s advanced image analysis software, SimulTask PRO™, you’ll see higher resolution images, an increase in detection accuracy and significantly reduced false reject rates which are critical in upholding high standards for food analysis and quality control.
Material Discrimination X-ray, MDX is Eagle’s original dual energy technology that provides better detection for objects that show a very small x-ray absorption variation. Dense foreign bodies in dense products are more easily detected using MDX compared to single energy detectors.
100% meat inspection provides precise chemical lean values to better than +/- 1 CL.
Find and reject harmful bone fragments, 2 mm or less, in various meat and seafood applications.
UPSHOT™ allows meat inspection from underneath. With detectors positioned over the product, x-ray machines are able to penetrate through and detect unwanted objects.
Weight verification with x-ray technology is an extremely accurate process control layer to ensure food quality assurance.
Enhances traditional x-ray inspection and allows for the detection of materials previously unseen by single energy x-ray.
In addition to providing industry-leading fat analysis machines and x-ray technologies with unparalleled reliability, Eagle provides highly-responsive support and service coverage globally. We deliver this through a network of expert partners, supported by a core team of regionally-based Eagle experts.
