Spectra is an unrivaled foreign material detection solution, setting a new standard in poultry processing and quality control.

With spectral imaging technology surpassing the human visual range, Spectra performs a near 360° surface poultry breast fillet scanning, detecting and discarding fillets containing surface contaminants with great effectiveness and precision.

This groundbreaking innovation allows for the production of consistently contaminant-free chicken fillets.

Spectra detects foreign material that is not identified by X-ray, such as plastics, paper, rubber and wood, on the surface of a product, solving an urgent poultry industry problem. Spectra has been designed to withstand the harsh environment in a poultry factory and deliver accurate results throughout the production day.

Being fully automatic, Spectra requires no manual product handling, thereby eliminating the inherent risk of human error. The automation includes finding the best possible balance between detection of the very smallest foreign materials and keeping a low false-positive rate, thereby minimizing rework.

Spectra is the perfect addition to the poultry plant aiming to consistently deliver product of highest possible quality – supporting in protecting and enhancing its brand. 

The digital technology we use enables automatic monitoring of machine health, machine optimal performance, and detection of problems before they occur, through preventive maintenance.
