Monitoring raw milk reception at the dairy plant using BUCHI NIR-Online® Process Analyzer
This application note reports the BUCHI NIR-Online® process analyzer performance to assess raw milk reception at the dairy plant.
The BUCHI NIR-Online® process analyzer monitors and documents the entire load of raw milk at the receiving dock of the dairy plant. True fat, protein or solids-non-fat values of the complete delivery enable milk processors to pay the right price to the milk producers as well as to segregate the raw, unprocessed milk based on its quality to different storage tanks. Doing the sampling just before the milk enters the dairy plant enables dairy plant operators to decide upon acceptance or rejection of the raw material.
