Monitoring the mixing step in flour milling industry using BUCHI NIR-Online®
This application note reports the BUCHI NIR-Online® process analyzer performance to assess the mixing step in flour milling industry.
Real-time control of the mixing step in the flour industry is critical in order to ensure a consistent high final product quality as well as to improve the milling performance.During this step, monitoring key parameters such as protein and moisture allows the millers to confidently operate closer to targets and thus, prevent expensive and time-consuming rework, and hence increase profit margins.The installation of a BUCHI NIR-Online® process analyzer equipped with high resolution CCD camera after the mixer enables to monitor these target parameters and to screen the grain mixture in a fast, simple and reliable way.
