ProFoss™ 2 for Feed

Providing real-time, accurate production monitoring for animal feed using in-line feed analysis directly in the process line, ProFoss™ 2 allows you to make timely adjustments in your production process to maximize profits and meet specified final product quality

ProFoss™ 2 for Feed

Overview

Real Time Results

FossPro 2 allows you to gain full and complete control of your production with continuous flow of “real time” results of the product composition. This can improve product consistency, optimizes the use of raw materials, and in turn, benefit your business by reducing costs and improving product quality. Continuous flow of results also promotes full traceability which alerts if products are out of spec and enables high product consistency.

Technology

Easy Maintenance

Measurements are based on the latest in NIR reflectance technology for process applications including a robust sensor with a double window system. The first window showcasing the inside of the process pipe remains while the second can be removed for easy maintenance on the sensor without interrupting the process operations.

Performance validation

Registering and measuring samples by the ProFoss 2 and a bench top analyser (FoodScan 2 or NIRS DS3) reduces the risk of error and secure optimal performance. Using integration, connectivity and automation the results matched are saved via cloud and are ready for evaluation and reporting using digital services

Trend Analysis

ProFoss™ 2 allows you to do direct measurements in the process line, thereby effectively avoiding sampling errors and sample preparation errors. The results are shown in an intuitive graphical display, making it easy to spot variations. Because ProFoss™ 2 is measuring every few seconds it gives a reliable picture of what is going on in the process.

High resolution near infrared technology

High resolution diode array technology ensures accurate and continuous analysis, giving you a clearer picture of your process. A high number of pixels (diode sensors) in the spectrum secures a more detailed (accurate) and uniform (repeatable) analysis result
