Optimize Levels of Components In Infant Formula/Nutritional Supplements

Product catalog summary
Introduction
Infant formulas and nutritional supplements for seniors are primarily developed from dairy products to ensure the necessary nutrient levels for growth and development. These products are manufactured by blending milk and whey concentrates in both liquid and powder forms to meet specific product specifications.
Challenge
The main challenge in production is maintaining consistency in the blending process while ensuring the correct levels of components. Traditional testing methods are time-consuming, making it difficult for production supervisors and operators to manage this effectively.
Solution
The ProSpect In-line Process NIR offers a solution by providing real-time measurement of fat, protein, and total solids in formulas. This system delivers continuous, precise, and accurate analytical results, allowing for optimized consistency and closer adherence to target specifications. It provides constant feedback for process control and simultaneous output of results for all constituents.
Benefits
The ProSpect in-line analyzer enhances quality process control through real-time analysis, enabling operators to adjust product constituents closer to specifications. This results in a rapid return on investment, typically within 12 months, and reduces product rework and waste by allowing immediate detection and correction of production anomalies.
Statistics
Key statistics for the ProSpect system include:
  • Fat: Range 1.5 – 16.1%, SECV 0.14%, R² 0.9960
  • Protein: Range 5.4 – 12.2%, SECV 0.16%, R² 0.9878
  • Total Solids: Range 51 – 54%, SECV 0.27%, R² 0.8730
R² indicates the correlation between lab reference values and ProSpect predicted values, while SECV represents the standard error of cross-validation.
ProSpect Fully Integrated System
The ProSpect system is fully integrated with features such as a built-in process computer with a touch screen interface, PLC for communication with plant systems, power conditioning, temperature control, and self-diagnostics. It is housed in a NEMA 4X enclosure, making it wash-down ready and compliant with 3A CIP measurement standards.

Optimize Levels of Components In Infant Formula/Nutritional Supplements-1

APPLICATION NOTE OPTIMIZE LEVELS OF COMPONENTS IN INFANT FORMULA/NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS Maintain complete real-time quality control of nutrient levels in infant formula and more using In-line Dairy Analyzer Infant formulas are developed mainly from dairy products to provide the proper level of nutrients required maintain development and growth. Other nutritional supplements for seniors are similarly produced. The base of these formulas and supplements come from dairy products. These products are manufactured mainly by starting with milk and blending various products to a certain finished product specification. Milk and whey concentrate in liquid and powder form are used to supplement protein and carbohydrates. The challenge is mainly maintaining the consistency of the blending process while monitoring and controlling the proper level of components. This responsibility falls on the production supervisor and operators. This is difficult to do with standard testing as collecting samples and performing the test takes considerable time.
