Spectra soft contaminant detection solution | Marel

Vision for a new industry standard

Spectra: foreign contaminant detection solution

For Spectra, we have successfully joined hyperspectral sensors from TOMRA and an intelligent algorithm in a robust and valuable in-line solution, easily incorporated into the processing flow.

Thanks to its revolutionary in-flight double-sided poultry fillet scanning, Spectra is bound to become an industry-standard, following in the footsteps of Marel's SensorX, the world's leading bone detection solution.

Space vision

Marel Spectra features in-flight, near-360° hyperspectral imaging, the same technology used by NASA for space exploration.

Spectra can detect foreign material, such as plastics, rubber, and wood, on the surface of a product, solving an urgent industry problem.
