NIR analyzer FOSS 1241 / TM

Infrared analyzers FOSS Infratec 1241 / TM / DS3 are designed for express analysis of the content of components: in whole grain and seeds of cereals, legumes, oilseeds, their processed products, compound feed and various food products.

Whole grain: corn, wheat, durum wheat, rye, triticale, barley, oats, rice, sorghum, barley malt, peas, soybeans, rapeseed/canola.

Processed products: wheat (white flour, whole grain flour), durum flour, rye (flour, whole grain flour), soy flour.

The operating principle of the analyzer is based on the measurement by the detector of the amount of infrared light in a certain range (spectrum) of wavelengths specified by the monochromator, after its partial absorption by the sample of the analyzed product. The amount of light absorbed by the sample at different wavelengths is directly related to the concentration of chemical functional groups, such as C-H, O-H and N-H. Since the concentrations of functional groups are related to the concentration of chemical substances (water, protein, fat, fiber, etc.), it becomes possible to determine the content of these substances based on pre-established calibrations of the absorption spectra of similar product samples with reference values of quality indicators.

Refers to full-scan spectrometers with a diffraction grating, operating in the diffuse light transmission mode in the wavelength range: 570-1100 nm – for Infratec 1241, Infratec TM models; 400-1100 nm – for the NIRS DS3 model, and in the light reflection mode in the wavelength range: 1100-2500 nm – for the NIRS DS3 model.

The use of the reflection mode in the NIRS DS3 model allows for a more accurate assessment of the quality indicators of homogeneous products of oilseed processing (cakes, meals), feed raw materials and compound feed.

No need to grind grain.

Conformity assessment for legally regulated measuring instruments (ZST); Module F; Module B.

Basic package includes 5 calibrations (wheat, barley, corn, soybeans, rapeseed).
