Producing consistent products daily can be a challenge with infrequent testing of products taken from the line. Whilst it may appear that the process is operating at peak performance, deviations are often missed as the true process variations are not visible. 

Continuous measurements are essential to provide the confidence and assurance needed for determining when control actions are required. In addition to moisture, oil/fat and protein measurements, appearance (colour) is also critical. The perception of a product’s correct appearance is highly subjective and often requires special lighting. Measuring colour simultaneously with other critical components in real-time, in a single gauge head, provides a cost-effective early warning indicator when the process deviates from ideal enabling control actions to be taken to prevent wastage and rework.

This webinar is focused on how those measurements are made and can be used with confidence.

Key learning points: 

• Learn about the latest online near infrared (NIR) gauging technologies and their ability to quantify in real time control actions through in-process measurements – What can it do for you?
• Understand how colour (appearance) control, alongside other critical measurements, is made.
• Explore ways to integrate this technology into the process.
