Intelligent Near Infrared Gauges
The new gauge features a stainless-steel housing, sapphire optics and food grade seals, suitable for use with cleaning-in-place (CIP) routines. The device can be installed almost anywhere in the process line regardless of ambient temperature conditions, factory lighting levels or variations in ambient relative humidity. No physical shielding is required, minimising the cost of the installation. The gauge has the ability to measure up to four process variables simultaneously – such as fat, moisture, protein and sugar. In addition, the unit can be used to control fat or oil content in low fat products.
The patented measurement technology allows for each complete measurement to be made in just 0.0075s (7.5ms). The ‘virtually simultaneous' measurement reduces instrument noise and improves measurement accuracy. The high-speed measurement radically enhances performance on large particle size products such as corn or potato chips, cereals and other products. As a result, users can develop a better knowledge of long- and short-term variability of their processes, and can operate closer to target than ever before, for an even more rapid return on investment.
Active diagnostic features are built into the gauge, to automatically warn of any fault, and advise appropriate action. The Window Contamination Monitor continuously checks for build-up of dust or dirt so there is no longer the need to routinely check its condition. The gauge monitors its own internal temperatures and will auto-shut down if excessive temperatures are detected as a result of a process problem. The unit accepts universal power input from 80-264 Volts and incorporates auto-reset fuses to prevent accidental damage.
