Process NIR Analyzers: Continuous Control from Lab to Line
Transform lab-quality NIR into continuous, real-time monitoring. Measure key parameters in seconds and implement with confidence using our 30+ years of application expertise.
Whether you're upgrading from grab sampling to process automation or managing product variability across sites, our experts support your needs with direct calibration transfer, seamless system integration, and proven experience to keep products on spec.
Why Should Manufacturers Choose Process NIR?
Take the Guesswork Out of Process Analysis: Continuously monitor critical parameters from raw materials to finished products. Process NIR eliminates blind spots and gives full visibility so you can catch deviations before they create waste or recalls.
Deploy Quickly, Scale Easily: Standardized integration works with your existing systems and controls. Install one analyzer or scale across lines and plants without custom calibrations, reducing complexity and speeding ROI.
Make Adjustments in Real Time: Measure moisture, fat, protein, starch, fiber and ash in seconds. Operators get instant feedback to fine-tune mixing, drying or formulations, ensuring consistent batches without waiting for lab results.
Built for Manufacturing Realities: Robust design engineered for extreme heat, vibration and washdown environments. Simple interfaces require minimal training, and flexible calibrations adapt to your products and process needs.
