ProLine2550 FT-NIR Analyzer
The ProLine2550 is USTECH's flagship inline FT-NIR analyzer platform, available in two configurations to match your process complexity and budget. Both models share the same robust industrial design, IP65-rated enclosure, and CE certification — differing in analytical depth and automation capabilities.
ProLine2550 Advanced
Engineered for high-volume bulk production, the Advanced model takes real-time process control to the next level by delivering comprehensive, multi-parameter analysis simultaneously. It integrates seamlessly into key transfer points to provide split-second measurements for challenging materials like powders, granules, pellets, and pastes — capturing all critical constituents at once.
This heavy-duty system features full automation with integrated temperature control and IP65-certified protection, ensuring uninterrupted precision in harsh environments. By delivering complete, real-time data on multiple parameters, the ProLine2550 Advanced allows for immediate process adjustments — maximizing yield, guaranteeing product consistency, and eliminating costly reprocessing.
ProLine2550 Essential
Designed for straightforward and cost-effective process monitoring, the Essential model delivers real-time, precise measurement for operations with focused analytical needs. It eliminates unnecessary data clutter by customizing its configuration to track up to two key parameters tailored specifically to your production requirements.
Housed in a rugged, industrial-grade enclosure with an IP65 rating, CE certification, and integrated temperature control, the Essential model guarantees stable and long-lasting performance in any production environment. By delivering accurate, actionable data within seconds, it empowers operators to maintain consistent product quality, enhance daily process efficiency, and achieve targeted production standards without complexity.
