ProFoss™ employs a near infrared-based analysis technology known as high resolution diode array analysis.
The ProFoss™ analyzer for butter is available with dedicated interfaces based on transmittance technology. Measurements are done directly on the moving sample in the process system. A high-intensity dual-lamp light source illuminates the sample directly or through an optical fibre. The light interacts with the sample and the transmitted light is measured by the diode array sensor. The backup lamp in the dual lamp system secures uptime and analytical accuracy is unchanged even after switching to a new lamp.
The complete wavelength range is measured instantaneously enabling measurements to be accurately carried out even on fast moving sample. Calibrations are transferable between units ensuring easy expansion to other measurement points. Integration to process regulations systems can be done through the FOSS OPC interface.
