ProFoss™ for feed

Accurate production monitoring for animal feed

ProFoss™ for the animal feed industry is an in-line process analysis solution employing high resolution technology for accurate monitoring of the feed milling process. It is robust enough to withstand tough production environments and gives instant results for optimised production and profitability.

NIR technology

Safe and non-destructive NIR technology

ProFoss™ employs a near infrared-based analysis technology known as high resolution diode array analysis. This provides accurate and continuous results and, if required, remote support and maintenance via the internet is also available.

The ProFoss™ analyser is available with dedicated interfaces based on reflectance or transmittance technology, whichever is best suited for each application area.

Measurements are done directly on the moving sample in the process stream. A high-intensity dual-lamp light source illuminates the sample directly or through an optical fibre. The light interacts with the sample and the reflected or 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 or through an analogue signal.

RINA

Monitoring and support via the internet

The RINA software suite supports ProFoss Feed and other FOSS NIR instruments. This internet-based network connects individual instruments to a control centre where NIR experts remotely monitor and perform management tasks allowing the local user to carry out routine analysis operations without having to worry about instrument performance or reliability of results.

Quick and simple to implement

The high resolution technology used in the ProFoss system ensures complete accuracy across multiple instruments without any drift. Once calibrated there is no need for constant adjustments on animal feed formulation saving you time and money on installing individual analysers.

Continous monitoring, immediate results

A ProFoss™ Feed in-line solution gives you continuous results so you can make any adjustments immediately. Even seemingly minor adjustments can lead to significantly increased yield and revenue through a better use of costly raw materials for animal feed.
