ProLine2550 FT-NIR Analyzer
A high-performance process-grade FT-NIR spectrometer engineered for continuous, real-time composition analysis. Leveraging micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) technology and high unit-to-unit similarity, the ProLine2550 provides instant monitoring of moisture, protein, fat, and active ingredients directly inside reactors, pipelines, and rotating blenders.
Continuous Process Optimization
Laboratory grab sampling introduces delay and retrospective data that can lead to out-of-specification batches. The ProLine2550 brings laboratory-grade FT-NIR accuracy directly into the active flow. Featuring a compact, solid-state Michelson interferometer design with zero moving parts, it delivers unmatched reliability, signal-to-noise ratio, and wavelength accuracy.
Thanks to its outstanding unit-to-unit similarity, calibration models developed on one ProLine2550 instrument can be directly transferred to other units with zero adjustments. This unique plug-and-play capability drastically reduces setup time, calibration efforts, and lifetime cost of ownership.
Key Value Drivers
- ? Wireless & Battery-Powered Probes: Option for battery-powered reflectance probes, ideal for mounting directly on rotating bin blenders without wire entanglement.
- ? High Unit-to-Unit Similarity: Match profiles perfectly across multiple instruments, allowing seamless calibration transfer without instrument-specific adjustments.
- ? Rugged & Cleanable: Crevice-free sanitary sapphire windows designed to withstand daily CIP steam cleaning, high pressures, and corrosive chemical processes.
- ? Edge Integration: Driven by ProChem software to connect directly with plant automation systems and PLCs via OPC UA or Modbus.
