Industrial NIRS Spectrometers: Fast, Precise, and Accurate Solutions for Ingredient Analysis

DESCRIPTION / TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

High-Speed Portable Near-Infrared (NIRS) Spectrometer Solution for Precision Industrial and Agricultural Analysis

In food processing plants, feed manufacturing facilities, flour mills, and grain procurement operations, rapid and accurate compositional analysis of raw materials is critical for production efficiency and consistent quality control. This portable NIRS Spectrometer (Near-Infrared Spectrometer) is an advanced analytical instrument adopting holographic digital grating spectroscopy and refrigerated indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) sensor technology to enable continuous spectral detection and accurate collection of near-infrared spectral information.

Core Function and Rapid 6-Second Non-Contact Analysis

The NIRS Spectrometer collects sample data in an open, non-contact rotating mode, utilizing a precision servo motor to drive the sample tray and rapidly capture multiple absorbance spectra during each rotation cycle. This automated scanning mechanism allows key compositional indicators of the sample to be accurately analyzed in as little as 6 seconds (adjustable).

Operating across a spectral wavelength range of 950–1850 nm with Diffuse Reflection and Transfection measurement modes, the spectrometer accurately quantifies critical parameters including moisture, crude protein, crude fat, crude fibre, ash, wet gluten, starch, amylose, calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), salt, and oil content across diverse agricultural and industrial matrices.

Industrial and Agricultural Applications

Engineered for versatility across laboratory and on-site environments, this NIRS Spectrometer is widely applied in breeding, flour processing, grain purchasing, food processing, feed purchasing, and related quality assurance sectors. It supports comprehensive multi-parameter analysis across a wide range of commodities:

• Wheat Grains & Wheat Flour: Analyzes moisture, crude protein, wet gluten, hardness, sedimentation value, fatty acid value, ash, and water absorption.
• Soybean (Kernel), Maize (Kernel), Cottonseed, & Rapeseed: Measures moisture, crude protein, crude fat, starch, oil content, glucosinolate, and erucic acid.
• Paddy (Head Rice) & Milled Rice: Evaluates moisture, crude protein, amylose, gel consistency, and eating quality.
• Grower-Finish Feed, Soybean Meal, Wheat Bran, Rice Bran, & Palm Meal / Cake / Kernel Cake: Determines moisture, crude protein, ash, Ca, P, salt, crude fat, and crude fibre.

Key Advantages for Quality Control Efficiency

Built with precision optical and electronic engineering, the NIRS Spectrometer delivers five core technical advantages:

• High Performance & Higher Accuracy: Equipped with a holographic concave aberration-corrected gold-plated grating that achieves high-resolution focused imaging. The gold-plated film layer provides a diffraction efficiency of over 85% in the near-infrared band with extremely low stray light (≤0.1%), improving the signal-to-noise ratio and detection accuracy while simplifying the optical path for enhanced instrument stability.
• High Sensitivity & Low Noise: Utilizes a high-performance InGaAs detector cooled by two-stage thermoelectric cooling (TEC) technology down to an operating temperature as low as -20°C. Combined with a low-noise readout circuit, this effectively suppresses dark current and noise to significantly improve weak light signal detection.
• High Efficiency & Operational Convenience: Features an intuitive 8-inch touch screen, precision servo-driven sample rotation for 6-second analysis, and an optional 6-hour battery for portable field or plant-floor testing.
• Multiple Interfaces & Flexible Connectivity: Integrates RS232, USB, and Bluetooth interfaces—RS232 connects to PC software for advanced professional analysis, USB enables fast data export and backup, and Bluetooth links directly to a wireless printer for immediate data printing.
• Built-In Traceable Wavelength Calibration: Incorporates a built-in traceable reference material for wavelength calibration, ensuring consistent wavelength accuracy across multiple instruments.
