ProFoss™ 2 whole grain

Description

Grain analysis goes in-line

ProFoss™ 2 for whole grain is an in-line process analysis solution that provides continuous measurements of moisture and protein in whole grain in real-time.

By ‘in-line’, we are talking about doing analysis exactly at the spot where whole grain needs to be measured. For instance, this could be as grain is transported into the silo at receival, as it is blended before loading onto a ship, as it is recieved at the malting plant or as it is blended before heading into the flour milling process. The big advantage of in-line analysis compared to tests with a traditional benchtop analyzer is that measurements are taken automatically every few seconds. At the same time, the measurements are just as good as those you are used to with the well-proven Infratec™ grain analyzer.

Know more in grain handling, flour milling and malting

ProFoss™ 2 whole grain can measure every three seconds (approx. 1200 data points per hour). This provides unprecedented levels of control in grain receival, segregation and blending as well as in flour milling and in malting.

The analyzer is housed in a robust cabinet for installation close to the point of measurement. The measurement sensor is installed at the appropriate location in the process, for example, in the transport pipe to a silo. It is connected to the analyzer via fiber optic cable. Measurements are displayed on a computer screen and results can be fed into a regulation system for closed-loop automatic control.

Blending grain as it is loaded onto the ship

ProFoss™ 2 for whole grain gives you the real-time data you need to match your targets more precisely.

For example, assume that you are building a 20,000 ton ship load of grain to a target of 10.5% protein. You are using two grades of wheat and there is a price difference of EUR 10 between the grades. The real-time data offers insight that allows you to use 15% more wheat from the lower grade wheat and save 15% high quality wheat. Given the 20,000 load, 15% equals 3,000 tons of grain at EUR 10 higher price, resulting in a saving of EUR 30,000.

Automatic performance checks against the Infratec™ grain analyzer

ProFoss™ 2 whole grain is built on proven technology with a direct line to the Infratec™ grain analyzer – a proven performer which has become the cornerstone of grain quality control around the globe.

As a result, the Infratec can be used to monitor the results provided by ProFoss 2. This is done automatically with the help of the latest connectivity and software technology that makes up an integral part of the solution. You get a clear overview of sample identification as results from both benchtop and in-line sources are seamlessly integrated for analytical performance surveillance.
