Monitoring the Mixing Step in the Flour Milling Industry

Real-time quality 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, moisture or ash 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 sensor equipped with NIR and VIS spectrometers and a 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.
