FOSS announces
the new Infratec™
1241 Grain and Flour analyser, an updated solution providing
new levels of analysis functionality for businesses at the front
of grain and flour analysis while also extending the advantages
of near infrared analysis to any type of operation.
For
evolving demands
N ew
measurement facilities offered by Infratec help to improve
analysis efficiency as receiving sites
are increasingly required to handle a higher intake from
larger catchment areas.
Throughput is improved by 25%
and new levels of usability make it even simpler to perform
valid analysis for various sample types. Other developments
include a broader wavelength for analysis of colour in grain and
flour, allowing, for example, carotene levels in durum wheat to
be analysed for that all-important yellowness required by
increasingly discerning customers.
Communication technology makes
it simple to transfer data to or from the instrument and to
communicate with a LIMS system. The instrument can also be
controlled remotely via a PC.
For any type of operation
A range of specific calibration
and parameter options are now available as an alternative to the
standard Infratec package – opening up a new flexible way to
access powerful Infratec analysis. For instance, a small flour
mill might choose to start with wheat flour analysis. More
products such as whole wheat can be added later as the quality
and process efficiency advantages of near infrared (NIR)
analysis are realised in the form of improved profit.
The options also suit users
with greater analysis demands such as research laboratories
working on breeding programs who can now choose a more flexible
system solution to suit their specific needs.
The standard Infratec package
is still available, unchanged.
Infrared for everyone
For decades, FOSS has strived
to make near Infrared analysis accessible to everyone in the
grain industry. The new Infratec is just the latest of many
milestones achieved over the years, including the development of
ready to use calibrations, standardized instruments, networking
capability and the worldwide availability of qualified support
staff .
The Infratec
1241 is recognized as a standard for determining key
parameters of whole-wheat, barley and other grain types in less
than one minute. It is also a proven solution for analysing key
parameters of flour. Thousands of Infratec instruments have been
connected in networks ensuring consistent results across grain
receiving sites, even when they are located hundreds of
kilometres apart. Ready-to-use calibrations for Infratec are in
use in all major grain producing countries and Infratec results
are used in quality and breeding programmes.
