Human Food

Within human food typical products such as breakfast cereal’s and snacks’ bulk density and moisture are being measured for.  Online analyses offered are:

• Bulk Density after extrusion and/or drying
• Moisture measuring after extrusion and/or drying
• Size definition by means of image system
• Burned products (color) by means of image system

Petfood

Within dry and wet pet food, bulk density and moisture are important parameters of the quality of the final product. Quality parameters such as filling of bags and cans as well as extrusion and drying control are substantially improved by the online measuring technology.

Typical online analyses measured in pet food are:

Wet pet food (chunks)

• Bulk Density after steam tunnel for determination of can filling.
• Moisture measuring before filling of gravy.

Dry pet food (kibbles)

• Bulk Density after extrusion and/or drying
• Moisture measuring after extrusion and/or drying
• Size definition by means of image system

Aquatic feed

Aquatic feed for particularly salmon and trout is produced in highly complex processes. Due to great variations in raw material quality the product quality requires frequent control from a production and laboratory point of view.

Typical online analyses measured in Aquatic feed are:

• Bulk Density after extrusion and/or drying
• Moisture measuring after extrusion and/or drying
• Size definition by means of image system
• Visual appearance by means of image system

Powders

Powders such as powder coffee and instant coffee as well as milk powders are typical high value products, which require frequent control.

Typical online analyses measured in powders are:

• Bulk Density after spray drying
• Tap density after spray drying
• Moisture measuring after spray drying
• Foreign body detection after spray drying

Cereals

Online measuring of bulk density and moisture are essential parameters when trading and treating all kinds of cereals. Bulk Density is typically used in order to determine the filling level of a given silo whereas moisture is an important figure in order to control, for example, dosage when acid treating.

Typical online analyses measured for cereal products are:

• Bulk Density prior to dosage of cereals into silos
• Moisture measuring before coating of acids

Chemicals

Most chemical products are packed in container sizes, which are predefined. In order to make sure that each production batch will fit into the container or bag the bulk density is important. Furthermore the moisture content is important in order to ensure that the expected performance /concentration level of a given product is pending.

Typical online analyses measuring for chemical products are:

• Bulk Density prior to packing
• Moisture measuring before and after drying
