Abstract: In a method for the processing of fish, poultry or other meat products being conveyed in a plurality along a processing line, components which are to be excluded from consumption are separated and edible products obtained as a result for consumption are checked with an automatic inspection device for residues left behind. Separation takes place in such a way that, in the case of a number of edible products, minimized residues of at least one kind are deliberately permitted and induced for further processing of the edible products, in particular to optimize the edible product recovery. The automatic inspection device is adjusted to detect the minimized tolerance residues, and inspected edible products with and without the tolerance residues are separated from each other.

Abstract: In a method for the processing of fish, poultry or other meat products being conveyed in a plurality along a processing line (10), components which are to be excluded from consumption are separated and edible products (7) obtained as a result for consumption are checked with an automatic inspection device (3) for residues left behind. Separation takes place in such a way that, in the case of a number of edible products (7), minimised residues of at least one kind are deliberately permitted and induced for further processing of the edible products, in particular to optimise the edible product recovery. The automatic inspection device (3) is adjusted to detect the minimised tolerance residues, and inspected edible products (71, 72) with and without the tolerance residues are separated from each other.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an automated inspection apparatus for detection of anomalies in a 3D translucent object, the apparatus having a scanhead assembly including an image processing unit and image capture device, a first and a second light source, and conveyor means, the improvement comprising a light block member positioned along a substantially common axis of the image capture device and a light source.
