Is it worth making the move to new dairy testing?
See our two minute tech insight to learn how the latest technology inside the FoodScan™ 2 improves both accuracy and time to result leading to improved control of the dairy production process.
Now the best is even better. FoodScan™ 2 provides the analytical data you need about composition and colour. Improve the quality and consistency of solid and semi-solid dairy products and similar plant-based products while optimising production processes.
FoodScan™ 2 brings you a new level of performance to streamline operations. Ensure accurate results with unique NIR transmission technology, standardise production to make the most of raw materials, reduce risk of human error with minimal sample preparation and minimise calibration management.
Cheese, butter, spreads, fermented and cultured products such as yoghurt and skyr and similar plant-based products.
Fat, protein, moisture, salt, solids-non-fat, total solids and saturated fatty acids.
The demand for greater efficiency grows as producers of dairy and similar plant-based products increase throughput and introduce new end-products to stay competitive and meet changing consumer preferences. This adds to the workload in the QA laboratory as well as in the production facility. With FoodScan™ 2 analysis time can be as fast as 15 seconds freeing up time to do more with the same resources.
With FoodScan™ 2 you get accurate and representative results from your sample analysis, making you less dependent on the homogenisation step: • FoodScan™ 2 is a major step forward with unique NIR transmission technology that penetrates the entire sample• With 3 sub-scans an even larger share of the sample is measured
Reduce the risk of human error with minimal sample preparation and minimise calibration management using one global ANN calibration for all types of dairy and plant-based products. If you need to control parameters or products that are not covered by the ANN calibrations, we can support you with the tools and competences required to make customised models.
The colour module is one of the new features available with FoodScan™ 2:• Colour is measured with the CIE L* a* b standard• The colour measurement is done at the same time as the composition parameters are measured
Ensure indisputable results with a SmartCare™ service solution. Uptime is safe-guarded and trouble-shooting alleviated, setting you free to do your job in pursuit of improved business performance. Remote and on-site support is available in the case of a problem or breakdown.Manage your FoodScan™ 2 effectively.
