Near InfraRed Spectroscopy (NIR)

NIR is used everywhere in the world
as a fast way of analyzing food and feed, for reception control as well as

for production control.

Typical examples

Trimmings

The price/profit differs quite a lot.
Do you manage to get close to the
specified fat amount?

 

Tender beef

How much more could you earn if

you dared to write

 “Tender by guarantee”

on the package?

 

Edible oils

Do you live up to the demanded FFA
level, or do you risk rejection?

 

Rape seeds

Could you reduce your cost if you

knew how much FFA you had in the kernels?

 

dditives to feed-mixes

A lot of it looks alike.

Reception control in a few seconds.


 

Meat plants

 

Above an example of an obvious solution for fat in trimmings
– above the conveyor.

analyzed for tenderness

Analyzing raw materials

 

Using Post-dispersive NIR you
can analyze at the gate and in this
way secure the quality of your raw products.
