Supplier: FOSS

ProFoss™ for flour and whole grain

In Stock

ProFoss™ measures critical parameters such as ash, protein and moisture for control of incoming raw materials and in the final stages of the milling process. Accurate in-line flour analysis enables you to detect trends in your ash and moisture content, troubleshoot production malfunctions and secure final quality.

Value

Continuous real time analysis. Analysis directly in the production line. Facilitates immediate process adjustments.

Sample Type

Flour and whole grain.

Parameters

Protein, moisture and ash.

Features

Trend Analysis

ProFoss™ takes direct measurements inside the process. Sampling errors and sample preparation errors can therefore be minimized to almost zero. Monitoring process variations using a trend chart and a moving average function enables the detection of process variations of a laboratory analyser. Even if one result is wrong for some reason, this has no impact as a new result will be generated a few seconds later.

Easy Integration

ProFoss™ can easily be connected to your LIMS or ERP system.

Dedicated Sample Interface

Windows interface connected directly to the pipe
True in-line – no bypass – reduces waste and sampling errors
No moving parts
No carry over effects between analyses
