ProcesScan™ FT

ProcesScan™ and Process Touch software

ProcesScan™ FT is an on-line analyser for standardisation of milk and valuable liquid dairy products. Installed directly in the production line, it provides accurate measurements of Fat, Protein, Lactose, Total Solids and Solids-non-Fat.

CasesThe value of milk standardisation

How do you produce consistent end products across multiple factories using a constantly varying milk supply? The answer, according to leading dairy producers Fonterra, is to standardise milk and dairy products in the process.

FTIR technology

Advanced performance with FTIR analysis

ProcesScan™ is based on Fourier Transform InfraRed (FTIR) analysis. It works with the mid-Infrared region of the spectrum from 3 - 10 µm corresponding to 1000 – 5000 cm -1.

The FTIR interferometer used with ProcesScan collects data from the entire spectrum allowing measurement of new parameters even in complex dairy products. Analysis of an additional parameter simply becomes a matter of calibration.

The infrared beam hits the beam splitter, which sends half of the light to a fixed mirror and the other half to a moveable mirror. From the mirrors, the IR beams reflect and combine before they reach the detector. All of the IR frequencies travel through the interferometer at the same time, and rapid small movements of the mirror enable simultaneous generation of the entire IR spectrum. The laser sends out light at only one wavelength, and is used to determine the actual wavelength based on the position of the mirror.

The advantage of standardisation
The fact that FTIR instruments are standardised offers a great advantage. A calibration developed on one instrument can be transferred to other instruments to provide identical readings. Standardisation is achieved by comparing spectra on a specially developed FTIR equalizer sample, collected on a newly installed instrument (slave) to the spectra of a similar sample using a master instrument at FOSS.

No daily maintenance

At the heart of the flow system is a diamond cuvette, which makes it possible to CIP clean the flow system together with CIP cleaning of the process. This makes production line monitoring automated and efficient.

Improve consistency and profitability

The on-line ProcesScan reduces the variation in the product and once the variation is narrowed, the target value may be brought closer to the limit, thereby improving profitability and product consistency.
