THE BONE HUNTER

THE BONE HUNTER

ProSpection Solutions is a U.S.-based advanced technology company specializing in high-precision inspection systems for the food processing industry. With a strong emphasis on food safety and operational efficiency, the company designs and manufactures cutting-edge foreign material detection and product inspection technologies that support meat, poultry, and other protein producers in delivering contaminant-free products.

History and Establishment

Founded to meet the increasing demand for robust food safety solutions in protein processing, ProSpection Solutions has evolved into a leading innovator within its niche. Headquartered in Kearney, Missouri, the company has established a reputation for engineering excellence, high-speed automation, and intelligent detection capabilities across the supply chain.

Core Business and Strategic Focus

ProSpection Solutions focuses exclusively on foreign material detection, 360° inspection, and grinding technologies used primarily by food manufacturers. Its systems are designed to identify and remove contaminants such as bone, plastic, metal, rubber, and wood from ground or whole muscle products. The company tailors its offerings to meet the stringent compliance standards of USDA, FDA, and international food safety authorities.

Product and Service Offerings

ProSpection Solutions offers a suite of advanced inspection and processing systems, including:

  • Foreign Material Detection Systems: High-speed vision and imaging-based detection systems that integrate into food production lines, identifying hard-to-see contaminants in ground meat and other proteins.

  • 360-Degree Product Inspection Systems: These systems allow full-view inspection of packaged and unpackaged products using AI-based vision algorithms and hyperspectral imaging for maximum accuracy.

  • Grinding Technology: Equipment that ensures precision grinding while automatically eliminating bones, sinew, cartilage, and other foreign materials. Commonly deployed in sausage, patty, and ground meat production lines.

The solutions are modular, scalable, and engineered to integrate with ERP and MES systems, offering real-time monitoring and analytics.

Specialisation and Core USP

ProSpection Solutions differentiates itself through:

  • Real-Time Contaminant Removal: Unlike conventional detection systems that only identify contaminants, ProSpection's solutions are capable of automatic rejection and process optimization.

  • High-Speed Imaging & AI: Proprietary imaging software enables rapid identification of contaminants without slowing down production, even at throughputs exceeding 20,000 lbs/hour.

  • Full 360° View Technology: Allows inspection of all surfaces and crevices of a product or package—critical for non-uniform products such as patties, sausages, and vacuum-packed items.

  • USDA and FDA Compliance Readiness: Systems are built to meet or exceed FSIS and FDA inspection criteria, making them suitable for export-certified facilities.
