In-line NIR Instrument
 CONTINUOUS MEASUREMENT AUTOMATIC PROCESS CONTROL

Optimize your process with

real-time NIR measurements
Many food and agricultural processing operations have the potential to
improve several aspect of their operations through accurate, timely knowledge of
their production processes, and product characteristics. While manual sampling
and analysis is useful, it takes time and only provides a snapshot at that instance.
The DA 7350 In-line NIR sensor provides continuous, simultaneous measurement
of parameters such as moisture, protein, fat/oil, ash and much more. This real-time
measurement enables automated process control and helps companies worldwide
optimize processing, reduce scrap and re-work while improving product
consistency and quality.

Feature and Benefits

• Real-time measurements
• Industry 4.0 Ready
• Integrated camera
• Rugged design to suit production environments
• Easy integration through standard industry communication interfaces

The importance of In-line monitoring

By continues real-time measurements, 24/7, manufacturing process can be controlled and optimized. This in turn reduces expensive
product give-away, waste, re-works, and claims. Additionally, in-line instruments are used to control drying and blending and monitor
incoming raw materials to ensure smooth processing, something that help increase yield and end-product consistency. Continuous
monitoring also provides complete quality records of the entire production batch or run.

 MODERN NIR INSTRUMENT INTUITIVE GRAPHICAL
COMBINED WITH CAMERA USER INTERFACE

Modern technology that delivers

Integrated camera
Color measurement An integrated digital camera measures color. The dedicated lighting provides optimal
conditions for color measurement enabling superior repeatability and improved alignment with laboratory
methods. The standard color measurement according to CIE LAB space produce L*, a* and b* results.
The example shows the measurement of Durum semolina.
Speck Count The DA 7350 includes speck counting as standard, which helps flour millers detect cloth breakages
quickly. Specks can be classified by size and contrast in up to 16 different groups. By configuring alarms you
can be notified immediately in case speck count exceeds set limits.
Real-time Process View Users can access real-time images of the process from any networked computer – be
it in the next room or 1,000 kilometers away from the instrument. The images can be incorporated in to control
system user interfaces and displayed in real-time. The images provide a unique, real-time view directly into the
process stream. Operators can immediately detect presence of foreign material, visible defects, product color
changes, and blockages. The system can be set up to automatically capture images of the product at various intervals.

Systems Integration Modern, intelligent instrument software

Great importance is placed on connectivity capabilities to Internet of Things and Industry 4.0 bring huge benefits,
communicate with existing plant control systems. We support many but require that sensors and other equipment are prepared
interfaces including: OPC UA, PROFINET, Modbus TCP, Fieldbuses for it. Process Plus is a modern, dedicated web-based process
and more. Benefits of integration in existing plant control systems: instrumentation software. It is an easy to use software designed
with the specific demands of the process industry in mind.
• Implementation of automatic control loops is easily achieved
The software includes a web-based user interface with both
• Measurement information is presented in the familiar numerical and graphical displays. Owing to the web based
environment of the operators GUI, where it’s most needed architecture, you may use as many operator stations as you
• Measurement results are easily incorporated in standard batch require, without the need to install additional software or
reports and continuous data archiving for audits, tracking, licenses. Process Plus includes communication interfaces
and tracing purposes compatible with IoT and Industry 4.0.

Accurate, Robust, Reliable Calibrations

PerkinElmer has a large and diverse library of proven calibrations for raw materials, intermediates and finished goods.
Parameters available for monitoring include moisture, protein, fat/oil, ash, starch, fiber, sugars and many more. For instances
of customized processes or products where calibrations are unavailable, we provide calibration development services. Our
highly trained and experienced Applications Teams help to quickly and efficiently get your instruments up and running.

Additional NIR Models

DA 7440 On-line NIR The DA 7440 can perform the same
measurements as the DA 7350, but is designed for over-the-belt
type measurements and is suitable in many situations where a
product is transported on open conveyor belts and similar.
DA 7250 At-line NIR In many situations manual analysis is a good
complement to in-line measurements. The DA 7250 measures the
same parameters as the DA 7350, is very versatile and analyzes many
types of samples in only 6 seconds. Its ease of use and robustness
make it highly suitable both for production and lab environments.
