What is on-line NIR?
NIR (Near Infrared Spectroscopy) is a well proven technique for analyses of protein, fat, water, sugar and other constituents in food, feed or chemical compounds. Near infrared technique is based on directing energy rich light of a certain wavelength towards a sample, measuring the reflected light and converting the result into a chemical fingerprint of the sample.
At-line NIR has been used in laboratories for decades and is the preferred technology for analyses of chemical composition in food and feed. Prediktor takes the well proven at-line NIR out of the laboratory and on to the process line, making it a true on-line, real-time application.
Prediktor's vision for on-line NIR is to give NIR measurements a valuable context. When NIR measurements are instantly presented for operators together with target values, limits and other relevant recipe information, NIR become a tool for process optimization and not only a quality control measurement.
