ProFoss near-infrared process analysis system

Foss has announced the ProFoss near-infrared (NIR) process analysis system, suitable for monitoring and control of flour, ground meat, ricotta cheese, dairy powder and feed products.

A high-resolution diode array gives a regular and reliable snapshot of products in the process.

Housed in a robust cabinet, the analyser is mounted at the relevant location in production where it feeds back measurements to a computer display.

An intuitive user interface allows production to monitor levels for key measurement parameters, allowing timely adjustments to control mechanisms. Measurement results are in line with the accuracy of traditional laboratory reference analysis.

Instrument standardisation and stability allows fast calibration development and transfer across analyser units and a broad selection of dedicated sample interfaces is available.

Built-in back-up systems ensure minimal impact on production flow. The option of remote instrument surveillance over the internet by Foss personnel is available. Calibration and software updates can also be performed via the internet.
