NIRS™ DS3 meat by-product analyser

NIRS™ DS3 meat by-product analyser

The NIRS™ DS3 provides NIR analysis of meat by-products with exceptional accuracy. Designed for use in the laboratory, the NIRS DS3 is ideal for routine control.

Value

Value

Analyse samples from rendering production or other meat by-products with one simple analysis in less than a minute and increase your sampling frequency without extra cost.

Type sample

Type sample

Dry samples such as meat and bone meal. Liquid samples such as fats for petfood or energy production. Plant-based products.

Parameters

Parameters

Animal by-products: Fat, moisture, protein, ash. Fats and Oils: FFA, IV, PV, moisture.

Slides

Automated sample transfer

Automated sample transfer reduces time spent on transferring data to and from management systems

Smart Start

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.

FossManager™

FossManager™ software allows instruments to be connected in a network making it easier, quicker and more reliable to manage individual or multiple instruments from a desktop located anywhere.

Ready-to-use calibrations or tools to develop your own

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.

Versatile performance

Advanced and versatile solution for testing a range of parameters on ground or liquid material with no or very limited sample preparation.
