Monitoring the Milling Step in the Flour Industry
BUCHI NIR-Online® sensors: Determination of Moisture, Protein, and Ash in Flour
The task of flour producers is to deliver and guarantee that customers receive flour according to their specific requirements.
Monitoring the milling process in the flour industry is vital to achieving high-quality flour production while maximizing efficiency and minimizing waste. Real-time quality control of key parameters such as moisture, protein, and ash as well as the detction of specks are of critical importance to ensure consistent product quality.
