The NIRS™ DS3 Dairy Analyser helps you to improve yield in your dairy powder and ice cream production. Designed for use in the laboratory or at the production line, the NIRS™ DS3 is a practical quality control tool ideal for routine production control and monitoring of final product quality.
More yield with reduced energy
Accurate routine analysis helps you to produce closer to targets and avoid rework. For example, getting the moisture concentration just 0.1% closer to target, can save you EUR 50,000 per annum at typical production rates.
Optimise your NIR management with FOSS digital services
Ensure consistent performance of all instruments in your network. Make adjustments on instrument calibration and configuration remotely. Protect your database and calibration models with automatic back up of data. Remote instrument monitoring allows FOSS NIR experts to troubleshoot and diagnose performance issues without interrupting operations.
At-line control makes quality a matter of routine
The NIRS DS3 is easy to use, thereby ensuring low risk of operator error. Just place the sample in the sample cup, push the button and get results in less than a minute.
Sample type
Direct measurements of dairy powders.
Analysis of other solid and semi-solid dairy products such as ice-cream mix.
Parameters
