NIR analyzers have become an indispensible tool for the monitoring of production process technology and quality control of food products. The Lumex InfraLUM FT- 12 NIR analyzer is used for rapid analysis of various agricultural and food products and beverages enabling simultaneous determination of main constituents/parameters with the highest accuracy possible. The analysis is very rapid (1.5minute) and non-destructive, and usually does not require any sample preparation at all. Used routinely, the instrument allows significant analysis costs reduction compared to common wet-chemical methods. Thanks to the use of FT spectroscopy, the InfraLUM FT- 12 model features a very precise and reproducible analysis.
rapid analysis of quality parameters of cereals (determination of protein, moisture, gluten content, and other parameters) of wheat, barley, corn, and grain products etc.;
monitoring of flour quality at various stages of the milling process;
determination of oil content, moisture and other quality parameters of interest in oilseeds;
processed products, quality control of compound feed production.
Grain elevators and grain receiving
NIR Analyzers InfraLUM FT-12 and InfraLUM FT-40 provide incoming grain quality control in each truck for grain storage and sorting in lots according to prescribed quality parameters. The determination of grain quality in each truck reduces the risk of inadequate grain placing in grain silo and makes grain quality adulteration less probable.
The use of NIR analyzers makes it possible to reduce the downtime of the grain delivery trucks in queue during harvest season.
