The NIRS™ DS3 analyser helps millers to boost yield by offering unsurpassed, rapid analysis of ash in addition to reliable flour analysis for protein and moisture. Robustness coupled with groundbreaking performance in near infrared (NIR) guarantees uniquely accurate measurements by anyone, anywhere, at anytime.
Ready to use calibrations for all key parameters
Robust calibrations coupled with groundbreaking performance in near infrared technology guarantees highly accurate measurement of ash and other key parameters across a broad wavelength range of 400 to 2500 nm by anyone, anywhere, at anytime.
Optimise your NIR management with networking software
FossManager networking software makes it possible to make immediate adjustments on instrument calibration and configuration re-motely. Ensure consistent performance of all instruments in your net-work. Protect your database and calibration models with automatic back up of data.
Save time and money with innovative usability features
With NIRS DS3 you can hit targets precisely and fine-tune your production to improve profit and quality. By getting just 0.1% closer to target on ash content, you can expect a return on investment in under a year.
