Catalog excerpts

ProFoss™ Soya-1

ProFoss™ soya milling process analysis system is based on NIR high resolution diode array technology, providing non destructive analysis, directly in the process line without bypass. The analyser is housed in a robust cabinet to be installed after the milling process, analysing the soya meal as it falls into the hopper to validate and adjust key parameters. Results can be fed into your production/SCADA system and/or be presented on a screen in the production area for rapid adjustments of your process. Precise instrument matching enhances method development, minimises implementation efforts and ensures calibration model transferability between analysers.

ProFoss™ - High Resolution NIR technology ProFoss™ is unique in employing a near infrared-based analysis technology known as High Resolution diode array analysis. The High Resolution technology ensures accuracy and reliability with measurements based on a high density of data points. Accurate and continuous results Measurement accuracy is in line with traditional laboratory analysis. However, results are presented continuously rather than a few times per day giving the opportunity for immediate adjustments to production. This together with the dedicated soya meal sample interface ensures you...

ProFoss™ Soya-5

High Resolution near infrared technology gives you a clearer picture of your process. A high number of pixels (diode sensors) in the spectrum secures a more detailed (accurate) and uniform (repeatable) analysis result. High Resolution also enables manufacturing of "identical" (standardized) analyzers which stay the same over time (no drift). Dedicated interfaces based on reflectance technology A standardised High Resolution analyser A standardised analyser with transferable calibrations significantly reduces the implementation and maintenance costs. Transferability is the solid foundation required...
