NIRS Analyzer PRO – DirectLight/NonContact

NIRS Analyzer Pro NIRS Analyzer Pro is a process analysis system based on high resolution diode array technology. It provides non destructive analysis of granules, powders, slurries or odalisque samples directly in the process line with- out bypass – a true in-line system. 02 !hV15ta? I&p • High resolution diode array technology for accurate and continuous analysis in reflectance or transmittance mode • Built-in instrument factory standardisation for quick and simple implementation of one or several analysers • Uptime protection systems for low maintenance • Dedicated sample interfaces provides accuracy and rapid implementation • Instant measurement of complete wavelength range for direct measurement of fast moving samples • Quantitative and qualitative data for better in-line process control • Dual lamp technology retaining accuracy when the backup lamp is activated providing consistent uninterrupted analytical accuracy • Integrated intelligent Metrohm calibration tool, ISIcal TM enables anyone to develop calibrations • Metrohm standard OPC interface for integration to local control systems enables automatic regulation of the process NIRS Analyzer Pro is a process analysis system based on high re so lution diode array technology. It provides non destruc tive analysis of products such as flour, feeds, meals, ground meat and dairy products directly in the process line without bypass. The analyser is housed in a robust cabinet mounted at the relevant location in the production area. Measure- ments are displayed in the control room and results can be fed into a regulation system for closed-loop automa tic control. The solution helps to optimise the use of raw materials and to consistently run production closer to target spe ci- fi cations. Precise instrument matching enhances method develop- ment, minimises implementation efforts and ensures calib ration model transferability between analysers. 03 The NIRS Analyzer Pro analyser is available with dedicat- ed interfaces based on reflectance or transmittance tech- nology whichever is best suited for each application area. Mea surements are done directly on the moving sample in the process stream. A high-intensity dual-lamp light source illuminates the sample directly or through an opti- cal fiber. The light interacts with the sample and the reflected or transmitted light is measured by the diode array sensor. The backup lamp in the dual lamp system secures uptime and analytical accuracy is unchanged even after switching to a new lamp. The complete wavelength range is measured instanta- neously enabling measurements also on fast moving sam ples with high accuracy. Calibrations are transferable between units ensuring easy expansion to other measure- ment points. Integration to process regulations systems can be done through the Metrohm OPC interface. System Description Window reflectance In-line analysis of paste, granulates, powdered products etc in pipes or transport systems without bypass can be performed. The products pass over the interface window. The window reflection interface can easily be installed into the production line using standard GEA Tuchenhagen flowcells or welding an interface flange into the wall of the pipe/transport system. Dedicated sample interfaces Direct light In-line analysis of products where direct contact with the product is not a technically feasible solution i.e. product transported on a conveyer belt. 04 Temperature 150 °C (302 °F) Pressure Vacuum > 1 torr, Pressure < 3’000 PSI Lens Sapphire; Diameter 45 mm, thickness 12 mm, with food grade EPDM O-ring seal Hygiene USDA, Dairy Pipe flowcells Fits directly into GEA Tuchenhagen Varinline Access units Type N (DN40 to DN150) with 68 mm opening Transport system Stainless steel welding flange Lens Sapphire; Diameter 45 mm, thickness 12 mm, with food grade EPDM O-ring seal Hygiene USDA, Dairy Distance 100-250 mm to sample surface Scanning area 20-85 mm Ø Powder probe In line analysis of fine powder like dairy powders etc. The powder probe interface can easily be installed into a hop- per or pipe with free falling product.
