Get more analysis data with a lateral transmittance probe
ProFoss 2 uses a lateral transmittance probe to analyse directly in the process pipe.
In concentrated dairy production, it is important for the infrared light to penetrate deep into the sample to obtain a good representative measurement.
The lateral transmittance probe is inserted directly into the pipe to measure a large volume of the material in the process (1.5 cm3). It uses a form of near infrared analysis called transmittance to penetrate deeper into the sample as opposed to so-called near infrared reflectance solutions which measure the surface.
The latest generation of the ProFoss 2 lateral transmission probe has been developed to yield even more analysis data. It has a higher intensity of light (x25), which gives a better signal and helps to ensure that all ProFoss 2 instruments can be relied on to always give the same high-quality measurements. The frequency of measurements has also been boosted to give a clearer evaluation of fluctuations in protein and total solids in the process, allowing for closer control against production targets.
