Whole Grain/Flour In-Line Analysis
• DA 7300 Diode Array based In-line NIR with
integrated camera
• OEM Supplier to Buhler - Recommendations
for service & support provided by Perten after
commissioning and installation
• Monitor in-line - Measure wheat and flour for
multiple parameters directly in your product
stream
• Use for binning, blending, bagging, and quality
control
• Connectivity - OPC, 4-20mA, Direct SQL
Queries
• Integrate into your production control system
• Maintain full production history for review
Perten Process NIR DA7300

•
Cost control
Quality control
Perten Instruments has installed 150+
of our DA7300 in-line analyzers over
the past few years for projects such as:
•
•
•
•
Grain sorting/binning
Milling
Dryer moisture control
Mixer/mixing efficiency
Whole Grain/Flour In-Line Analysis
• Built-in camera with dedicated light source for
live video, still images for speck count/image
analysis and visual processing confirmation
• Rugged - Diode array with no moving optical
components - less down-time, less maintenance
and greater profits, installed back up lamp for
uninterrupted operation
• Bench-top calibrations are fully transferrable to
DA7300
Live Video and Images
• Use as a trouble-shooting tool
• See product flow without visiting the production
line
• Compare live image with reference pictures
• Very useful when verifying spec count
measurement
• Image capture on demand or on events/alarms
• Video may be viewed remotely anywhere in the
world with Internet connection.
BVM Bread Volume Meter
• Laser based volume measurement
– Replaces seed displacement methods
• Significantly more accurate
– Seed displacement = +/- 3.0%
– Laser topography = +/- 0.2%
• Rotates sample along primary access
• Laser scans 1800
• Records
– Volume, Length, Height, Width, Depth, Specific
Volume, Weight, and others
• Stores 3-D digital diagram
• Fast, Accurate, Reproducible, Objective, Saves into Access
database
• Optional scale allows for automatic calculation of density
BVM Uses
• Data archiving - Digital 3-D images stored
• R&D – test new materials
• Product development – test effects of new ingredients and
formulations on volume and density
• Production – quality control
