“We need to optimise our process and stabilise our quality and that is why we use the FOSS”

In this video an expert from the Bunge Vietnam soya crushing plant, talks about the benefits of moving from manual to in-line NIR analysis with the ProFoss soymeal analyser.

Features

  • Trend analysis

    ProFoss™ takes direct measurements inside the process. Sampling errors and sample preparation errors can therefore be minimized to almost zero. Monitoring process variations using a trend chart and a moving average function enables the detection of process variations of a laboratory analyser. Even if one result is wrong for some reason, this has no impact as a new result will be generated a few seconds later.

  • Easy integration

    ProFoss™ can easily be connected to your LIMS or ERP system.

    Dedicated sample interface

    • Windows interface connected directly to the pipe
    • True in-line – no bypass – reduces waste and sampling errors
    • No moving parts
    • No carry over effects between analyses
