DA 7250 NIR Analyzer

Features and Benefits

• Easy to use – It’s very easy to analyze a sample. In most cases just pour the sample into an open-faced dish, place it in the DA 7250 and it automatically starts the analysis. Results are presented on the large touchscreen.
• Minimal sample preparation – Where other NIR instruments require that samples are ground or homogenized prior to analysis, the DA 7250 accurately analyzes samples as they are, minimizing the time from when you take the sample until you have the result. Grains, flakes, pellets, powders, pastes, slurries and liquids are all analyzed as they are without the need for expensive modules.
• Accurate and rugged – The DA 7250 is based on diode array technology which is accurate, robust and proven. In diode array technology there are no moving parts and this makes the DA 7250 very suitable for challenging environments as it is not sensitive to vibrations or temperature. It is also IP65 certified which means it is dust and water-proof.

Operation and Handling

The DA 7250 was designed in cooperation with customers with the goal to create the most easily operated NIR instrument on the market. Not just because this makes work easier for operators, but because it matters for performance. The easier an analysis method is, the fewer mistakes you make, and the better your accuracy will be.

Three easy steps:

• Pour the sample into the dish.
• Select product from the list on the touch-screen.
• Place the dish in the DA 7250.
• Analysis starts automatically, and results are presented in large numbers after just a few seconds.

Applications

The characteristics of the DA 7250 NIR analyzer make it ideal for a wide range of applications. Grains, pellets, pastes, powders and liquids are all analyzed in only 6 seconds. Below are examples of applications the DA 7250 NIR analyzer is used in.

Dairy

Analyze cheese, butter, milk, cream and powders with no sample preparation and no clean-up after analysis in the DA 7250 NIR instrument. Using the disposable cup system, the sample is simply placed in a plastic cup which is disposed of after analysis. This makes the DA 7250 extremely rapid and easy to use. Its accuracy makes it possible for you to control production to very tight limits.

Feed Milling

Use the DA 7250 NIR instrument to analyze ingredients, in-process samples and finished feeds for parameters such as moisture, protein, fat, starch, energy, fibers and amino acids – all without having to grind samples.

• Verify incoming ingredients against specifications
• Get true nutritional values for ingredients, and improve formulations
• Optimize fat, protein and moisture in your process and save money

Oilseed Processing

With the DA 7250 NIR instrument you can analyze for moisture, oil, fatty acids, protein and other parameters in oilseeds, meals and oil. No grinding is required for oilseed analysis, not even for sunflower seeds.

• Test seeds at intake to pay the right price
• Analyze meal to optimize extraction, drying and blending
• Determine FFA, phosphorous and more in oil

Flour Milling

The DA 7250 NIR instrument lets you analyze wheat and flour for moisture, protein, ash and more. It provides top accuracy in a rugged, IP65 rated housing. Place it anywhere in the mill for immediate analysis results.

• Test wheat at intake and during tempering
• Optimize ash content with rapid and accurate analysis
• Analyze co-products such as bran or middlings

Petfood Production

Whether you produce wet or dry petfood, the DA 7250 NIR instrument will analyze ingredients as well as finished petfood for moisture, protein, fat and more. Little or no sample preparation required, minimal cleaning between samples.

• Analyze nutritional value of ingredients
• Optimize production
• Verify end-product quality
