The NIRS™ DS3 analyser helps millers to boost yield by offering unsurpassed, rapid analysis of ash in addition to reliable flour analysis for protein and moisture.
Robustness coupled with groundbreaking performance in near infrared (NIR) guarantees uniquely accurate measurements by anyone, anywhere, at anytime.
Unsurpassed accuracy for ash analysis. Ready to use calibrations for all key parameters. Robust and proven technology ensures reliable results.
Flour and grains.
Ash, protein, moisture, wet gluten, water absorption and many more.
Automated sample transfer reduces time spent on transferring data to and from management systems
The Smart Start function ensures that your NIRS DS3 is ready to measure without having to wait for diagnostics. Just start the shift and start measuring.
FOSS global ANN calibrations are built on thousands of samples from a large variety of raw materials. Alternatively, develop your own calibrations with the easy to use FossCalibrator™ tool.
Advanced and versatile solution for testing a range of parameters on ground or liquid material with no or very limited sample preparation.
