A method and conductivity measuring apparatus (14) for determining the approximate lean content of pork bellies, and a method for categorizing pork bellies on the basis of weight and lean content is described. The method for determining approximate lean content uses a conductivity apparatus (14), including a chamber (24), which is configured and arranged to apply an electromagnetic field (22) to the pork belly as it is conveyed by a conveyor (26) through the chamber (24). The approximate lean content of the pork belly is determined on the basis of a relationship between the measured conductivity of the pork belly and the fat content of the pork belly. A system for categorizing pork bellies on the basis of weight and lean content is also described.

La présente invention concerne, d'une part un procédé et un appareil de mesure de conductivité (14) servant à évaluer le teneur approximative en viande maigre des flancs de porcs, et d'autre part un procédé permettant de classer les flancs de porcs sur la base de leur poids et de leur teneur en viande maigre. Ce procédé met en oeuvre un appareil à conductivité (14) comprenant une chambre, qui est configuré et agencé pour appliquer un champ électromagnétique (22) au flanc de porc lors de son passage dans la chambre (24) sur un convoyeur (26). Pour évaluer approximativement la teneur en viande maigre du flanc de porc, on se base sur une relation entre la conductivité mesurée du flanc de porc et la teneur en graisses du flanc de port. L'invention concerne également un système de classement des flancs de porcs sur la base du poids et de la teneur en viande maigre.
