εScan In-line Food Analyzer

εScan in-line food analyzer uses Guided Microwave Spectrometry (GMS) technology to instantly analyze and measure moisture content, fat, protein and salt properties in food products that pass through a pipe.

By providing crucial product content and consistency information to a fraction of a percent, the ε scan analyzer improves process efficiency and product quality, resulting in significant cost savings.

The ε scan analyzer uses low levels of microwave energy-less than 0.03 watts-to precisely measure the bulk or constituent properties of a product as the wave passes through that product. Since the microwaves pass through the entire product, ε scan provides an intrinsic measurement, not just a portion or surface measurement.

Advantages:

• Easy to calibrate and integrates seamlessly into your process
• Accurate, real-time results with repeatability, precision and stability
• Replaces constant offline lab testing
• Saves time, money and materials
• you get immediate data to help you control your process
• Reduce waste and save energy
• Protect brand value
• Analyzes multiple components
• Measurement is truly representative of the bulk of the product
• Results are not affected by product color
• No optical components that need maintenance or replacement
• High reliability with no moving parts

The ε scan analyzer measures:

Moisture in:

• Fruits and vegetables
• Snack foods such as corn masa
• Ground meats
• Dairy
• Pet food
• Brix, pH, viscosity and acid in:
• Orange juice
• Soft drinks
• Mayonnaise
• Tomato products

Fat in:

• Ground meats

• Milk and other dairy products

Protein in:

• Ground meats
• Peanut butter
• Seafood
• Pet food

Salt in:

• Mashed potatoes
• Most vegetable products
• Dairy
