Real-time measurement for increased efficiency

Reduce out-of-spec product and re-work

Analyse melt, curd, hard and semi hard cheese

On-Line Dairy Process Analyser

The DA 7440 on-line NIR analyser provides stable, non-contact measurement of moisture, fat and protein directly over conveyor belts, measuring fat, moisture and protein in cheese blocks, shredded cheese and butter to minimize waste during grade changeovers and ensure specification compliance. Conducting continuous over-the-belt monitoring, the DA 7440 delivers real-time data without interrupting product flow, enabling immediate process adjustments to reduce waste and maintain consistent quality output.

Continuous Measurement

Continuous real-time in-process measurements help users increase efficiency and reduce out-of-spec product and re-work, whilst ensuring process optimisation, legal compliance and manufacturing efficiencies. The instrument performs simultaneous measurement of parameters such as moisture, protein, fat and many others. The core diode array technology provides many benefits including durability, stability, accurate measurement of moving products and the ability to track process changes.

Features and Benefit

• Real-time, non-contact measurements: Robust diode array technology delivers 50 spectra per second without touching or disrupting product flow. Air-purge window ensures contamination-free measurements for immediate process adjustments and yield optimization
  
• Proven calibration library with direct transfer capability: Direct calibration transferability from DA 7250 benchtop analyser reduces implementation time and ensures consistency between lab and production measurements
  
• Flexible configurations for diverse environments: Available in general-purpose (IP65/IP67), sanitary design (IP69K), and actively-cooled versions for environments up to 70°C. ATEX version for use in ATEX/IECEx zones 21/22 enables safe installation in dust-explosive atmospheres
  
• Operator-friendly monitoring: High-visibility colour-coded indicators display status and alarm conditions at a glance
  
• Industry 4.0 ready: Web-based ProcessPlus software runs on PC, server, or virtual machine with Ethernet connectivity for remote monitoring and data accessibility
  
• IoT-compatible communication: Industry-standard protocols including OPC UA, PROFINET, Modbus TCP, Profibus DP, Modbus ASCII, analog outputs, and SQL queries enable straightforward integration with existing plant systems
