Carometec is a highly specialized company and the world leader within grading, sorting, yield management, tracking and quality control equipment for the pig and beef industry worldwide.
AutoTag is an automatic identification system for trolleys/gambrels, trays and meat products. The system is based on the latest in Radio Frequency (RF) technology. AutoTag is used to track the carcasses at the kill floor e.g. from the AutoFom to the hot scale. When the carcasses enter the cooler, AutoTag can be used to automatically sort the carcasses onto the correct storage rail.
The new Carometec Touch Panel i15 will endure the extreme environments within the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries. This high performance Touch Screen Computer will withstand high temperature (80°C/176° F), as well as high pressure (103 bar/1500 psi) cleaning, and the use of typical cleaning agents.
The most advanced pork-grading system of today. Fully automatic 3-D ultrasound scanning of carcasses provides, among other things, information about the total lean meat percentage and the lean meat percentage in the ham, loin, shoulder and belly.
Using modern technology Carometec has developed a new generation of the Fat-O-Meat'er - the Fat-O-Meat'er II. To make the new generation even better, the Fat-O-Meat'er II has been upgraded as follows: • New probe sensor design • New mechanical drive and electronic controls • Modular system with extensive roadmap for future enhancements • Improved precision (0.25 mm to 0.03 mm) • Improved hygienic design (EN1672-2)
In 2012, Tican, Denmark chose to upgrade to the next generation of AutoFom, the AutoFom III, thereby obtaining the improved precision, which the new system provides.
New version of the automatic Beef Classification Center - the BCC-2.1

AutoFom III approved in Belgium with unheard-of precision
Carometec’s new generation of the AutoFom, the AutoFom III, was part of the new national calibration in Belgium. The prediction error of the AutoFom III on Lean Meat Percentage was 1.14! This is an unheard-of precision, yet in line with results previously achieved in both Germany and Poland.
During the past 3 months, data collection for an EU approval test has taken place at the Spanish slaughterhouse Le Porc Gourmet in Vic close to Barcelona.
Included in the approval test are the newly improved grading systems, Fat-O-Meat'er II and AutoFom III.
The Spanish food group Elpozo Alimentación has introduced AutoFom at their factory in Murcia. This 13th AutoFom system in Spain is now installed and provides the slaughterhouse with grading data for the thousands of pigs slaughtered daily.
JBS USA has recently installed the Fat-O-Meat’er II - the second generation of the handheld grading equipment Fat-O-Meat’er - in all of their pork plants in the USA. The plants are located in Marshalltown, Iowa, Worthington, Minnesota and Louisville, Kentucky.
