Abstract: A system for accepting or rejecting a container containing a meat batch comprises a reader and a controller cooperating to effect the acceptance or the rejection of the meat batch. The reader is configured to interrogate a machine readable tag attached to the container to retrieve information stored thereon into the controller which is configured to respond to the information retrieved by the reader to access batch information comprising at least information indicative of a fat content of the meat batch, to compare the batch information with a criterion of a recipe related to a target fat content to determine a suitability of the meat batch for inclusion in a mix meeting the recipe, and to generate a control signal dependent the determination usable to effect acceptance or rejection of the meat batch as appropriate to the determination.

Abstract: A meat processing device comprises a meat processing unit and an external X-ray meat analyzer provided with a housing formed with an inlet connectable with an outlet of the processing unit. The housing provides complete shielding of personnel from X-rays except towards the inlet and is movable relative to the processing unit to a first position for analysis at which the unit outlet is collocated with the inlet and at which the processing unit completes the shielding of personnel from X-rays towards the inlet.

Abstract: The invention relates to a meat processing machine which is used for mincing, filling, degassing and/or mixing fresh and/or frozen meat. Said machine also comprises a fat analysing device (7, 8) for determining the fat content in said meat.

Abstract: Meat processing device having at least one comminution unit for comminution and/or mixing of fresh and/or frozen meat and having at least one transport means (2) on which the meat can be transported and which is arranged, in the direction of processing, downstream of the comminution unit (1), which has a fat analysis device (3) for determining the fat content, the density in the meat and/or the BEFFE (connective tissue protein free meat protein), and also process for fat analysis.

Abstract: The invention relates to an isokinetic gantry arrangement for the isocentric guidance of a particle beam (12), that can be rotated about a horizontal longitudinal axis (16) and has a beam optical system, symbolized by magnets (36, 38, 40), that deflects the particle beam (12) axially infected by a particle beam accelerator, radially and vertically relative to the horizontal longitudinal axis (16), with a largely rotationally-symmetrical primary structure (18) and a secondary structure (30) that holds the magnets (36, 38, 40) and is supported by the primary structure (18), with the secondary structure (30) having a rigidity that is designed so that the vertical displacements of the magnets (36, 38, 40) due to their weight are essentially of equal magnitude (isokinetic) in all the angle of rotation positions of the gantry arrangement (10), and a method for its design.
