The DA 7350 In-Line NIR Sensor provides continuous, simultaneous measurement of parameters such as moisture, protein, fat/oil, ash and much more. This real-time measurement enables automated process control and helps companies worldwide optimize processing, reduce scrap and re-work while improving product consistency and quality.
By continues real-time measurements, 24/7, manufacturing process can be controlled and optimized. This in turn reduces expensive product give-away, waste, re-works, and claims. Additionally, in-line instruments are used to control drying and blending and monitor incoming raw materials to ensure smooth processing, something that help increase yield and end-product consistency. Continuous monitoring also provides complete quality records of the entire production batch or run.
Measure
Measure granules, pellets, flours, meals, powders, pastes, syrups, flakes, liquids and more.
Measured Parameters
The most commonly measured parameters are moisture, protein, ash, fat/oil, fiber and starch.
Mounted
The DA 7350 can be mounted on pipes, hoppers, conveyors, mixers, at the entrances of a product stream, at its outputs, before or after dryers, before packaging or at other critical points in the process.
Flour Milling
Flour Milling Maximize flour extraction through accurate real time ash measurements. Blend wheat types to reach correct protein content and save on higher priced raw materials. Control and optimize gluten addition.
Starch Production and Corn Milling
Starch Production and Corn Milling Optimize moisture inclusion and save on raw materials and energy by monitoring and controlling the dryers. Control the starch/gluten separation and avoid costly giveaways.
Oilseed Processing
Oilseed Processing Measure oil in meal for optimized extraction. Increase yield by optimising protein content in the soybean meal through controlling the hulls add-back. Optimize the moisture inclusion, while remaining within specifications.
Dairy Processing
Dairy Processing Increase yield and reduce energy costs when spray drying milk powder by monitoring product moisture in real-time. Minimize grade change-over time and reduce waste; monitor black particles. Optimize the fat/moisture content of butter.
