Key Benefits
Enhanced Foreign Material Detection
Compared to conventional technologies, our systems detect smaller and a wider variety of foreign materials—like plastic, rubber, bone, and wood. By catching contaminants early, we help reduce recalls, prevent chargebacks, and keep your customers happy.
Comprehensive Quality Control
Get real-time insights into product quality, from lean-to-fat ratio to color and texture, as processing happens. Ensure every product meets customer expectations and stays consistent, batch after batch.
Reduced Product Waste
Say goodbye to unnecessary product loss. Our multiple rejection points and precise detection minimize false rejects, so you can keep more of the good product and boost your bottom line.
Advanced Data Analytics
Unlock actionable insights with our powerful analytics platform. Understand trends, pinpoint root causes, and continuously improve your operations. Plus, detailed reports on performance and detection help you plan smarter for the future.Ready for Washdown

No Harbourage Points
Sloped surfaces, polished welds, and food-safe pass-throughs ensure bacteria don’t get trapped anywhere in the system.

Watertight Design
Seals and seams are designed and tested to withstand both high-pressure hot water and cleaning chemicals

Adjustable Height
The system is designed to be raised off the floor to make inspection and cleaning even easier.
PPO Smart Imaging System -
One Inspection Technology, Many Configurations
PPO’s proven technology uses hyperspectral imaging to collect and process unparalleled food chemistry information in real time. No other solution available on the market today can identify as many foreign materials as PPO’s system, and assess quality characteristics at the same time.

Z–Configuration
Designed for foreign material detection and product quality assessment of poultry (whole muscle and trim), fresh pork
(loins, bellies, trim) and fresh
beef (trim).

Waterfall
Ideal for foreign material detection and product quality assessment (eg. lean point) of ground or diced pork, beef or poultry. It’s also ideal for frozen products.

Waterfall Elite
The same detection performance as the standard Waterfall system but with a compact design to minimize its footprint. Ideal for facilities where space is at a premium, it delivers efficiency without compromise.
Selecting the right inspection technology is crucial for your plant. PPO hyperspectral imaging provides unmatched real-time insights into food chemistry. Our system identifies more foreign materials than any other on the market while assessing quality, and ensuring superior safety.
