Applications in process control
The PAS advanced spectrometer is particularly suitable for monitoring critical parameters in food and feed production, agriculture and related industries. It supports high precision inline measurement of various parameters and with up to 6 measuring points (via a multiplexer) ensuring consistent product quality and optimized process efficiency.
Measuring various parameters in your process as:
- moisture, fat, protein, starch, sugar,...
- in/at conveyor belts, pipes, storage vessels, hoppers, ....
Used in multiple industries / applications as feed mills, bakeries, chips & snacks production, dairy processing, beverages,....
Features of the PAS NIR spectrometer
The PAS spectrometer is a versatile tool for process optimization and quality assurance across processing industries. Because one spectrometer covers up to six measurement points, the cost per measurement point falls with every point added. The PAS has been successfully implemented in food and beverage production, agriculture and feed, as well as polymer processing and recycling industries.
