"The Standard in Spectroscopy"
IN-LINE NIR ANALYZER
Continuous, real-time in-line measurements help users improve product consistency and quality, increase productivity and economic gain, and reduce scrap and rework. The system is an advanced, high-tech and multifaceted in-line NIR instrument for measuring bulk products such as powders, grains, flours, granules, pellets, slurries and pastes in pipes, chutes, chain conveyors, and alike. It performs real-time multi-component measurements of a product in a processing line, providing information for process control and quality monitoring.
Software Components
Our system connects to the inline analyzer via an Ethernet connection, enabling fast and efficient data processing. It supports material configurations with models created in Eigenvector Solo and PLS, providing flexibility across a range of material types. The automatic scanning model ensures continuous scans without the need for manual intervention. Analytics can be performed by material or sensor, and the results are easily exported to CSV files, allowing for seamless data handling and sharing.
Inline Hardware Components
The sensor used in our system is provided by NeoSpectra, renowned for its wide spectral range at the higher end of the NIR spectrum, significantly enhancing both sensitivity and precision. This expanded range allows for the accurate quantification of multiple key parameters in a single scan. The system features a round sampling head with a flexible sample interface, adaptable to a chute or container, and a 2.5 mm sapphire window for enhanced durability. Its robust design includes a durable sample interface for trouble-free operation, along with a 24V DC power connection and Ethernet TCP/IP connectivity, ensuring seamless integration into various setups.
Integration Options
Our system seamlessly connects to the plant’s PLC through a robust HTTP interface over an Ethernet connection, ensuring smooth integration with existing automation systems. Using the ProChem Automation interface, product and method names are mapped for efficient remote operation directly from the PLC, streamlining workflows and reducing manual intervention.
Results are delivered in real-time back to the PLC, providing instant feedback and enabling rapid adjustments to processes, ensuring maximum efficiency and precise control in your production environment.
