NIRMaster Milk and Dairy

Food safety and consistent quality are essential in milk and dairy production today. Accurate and meaningful nutritional facts are important. Understanding customer needs in the milk and dairy industry, BUCHI has designed the rst standalone FT-NIR Spectrometer specically for that industry the NIRMaster.

NIRMaster Bring Light into Your Production

Get more analysis information, higher productivity, higher quality and better understanding in milk and dairy production with polarization Fourier-Transform Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-NIRS). Rapidly control the quality and nutritional facts of raw milk, intermediates and dairy products using BUCHI NIRSolutions. The NIRMaster is the rst dedicated FT-NIR standalone spectrometer. Its easy-clean design and high ingress protection (IP) meet the specic needs for at-line analysis in milk and dairy production.

Where BUCHI NIRSolutions can help you:

BUCHI NIRSolutions provides dedicated at-line and off-line NIR equipment. These instruments set up at different locations in the production plant provide signicant information for dairy production and quality control to improve your business.

A contribution to your profit

The advantages of FT-NIR Spectroscopy become apparent in the quality control of cheese processing. With only optimizing one parameter you already gain an extra yield of at least 0.1% of cheese per year and furthermore you even earn extra prots of around 0.5 % per year.

Various parameters of milk and diary products such as fat, protein, dry matter, saturated fatty acids, unsaturated fatty acids, total sugar, lactose, salt and many more can be qualied and quantied. Please refer to our application overview.

1. Quality control of raw milk

At discharging area: Ensure an optimized payment of raw milk Measure several constituents simultaneously (e.g. protein, moisture, fat, lactose) Establish a rewall against adulteration (e.g. melamine)

2. Quality control during processing

At production site: Rapidly quantify constituents in intermediate products Control quality consistency during processing e.g.: Moisture and fat content in butter production Moisture control in milk powder production Composition of curds during cheese production

3. Quality control of final products

At production site or packing area: Check production specication labelling Rapid product release test (of e.g. drinking milk, milk powder, butter, cheese, yoghurt, quark, sour cream, condensed milk and ice cream)

NIRMaster Makes Your Job Easy The Dedicated Solution for Your Needs
The competitiveness of the milk and dairy industry forces producers to take strategic actions for quality control and product optimization. BUCHI FT-NIR polarization technology makes this job easier!

1. Easy-clean design increases food safety day by day

The hygienic easy-clean design and high ingress protection (IP) support your routine work in harsh environments. The NIRMaster is available in food-grade PMMA housing or stainless steel housing.

2. Polarization FT-NIR reduces costs

The modern and robust NIRMaster based on fast and precise polarization FT-NIR technology, provides accurate and reliable results for multiple parameters simultaneously. Improve your production process with this fast and durable system.

3. Faster results speed up your decisions

The NIRMaster with its built in PC, preinstalled software and quick-start calibrations can be quickly set up and put into operation. With FT-NIR you can analyze your samples within seconds.

4. Reliable hardware for reliable business

The NIRMaster is supported by a twin-lamp safeguard for uninterrupted operation even in cases of lamp failure. Based on robust and accurate polarization technology it is more shock resistant than any other FT-NIR.

5. Easy-operation for a lean workflow

The NIRWare Operator is the easy to use and ergonomic software interface which can be tailored to your specic needs. Inputs are collected easily and the analysis results are displayed in an optimal way. With an optional touch screen and robust accessories, like a barcode scanner or the easy-spin drive, efciency in daily work can be improved even more.

6. Quick-start calibrations to gain time

In cooperation with many of BUCHIs long-term customers we have concentrated data and experience in our pre-calibrations. These powerful quick-start calibrations enable you to efciently analyze a broad range of your sample constituents.

7. Easy calibration transfer preserves competence

BUCHI NIR spectrometers are identical by design. Spectra and calibrations can be exchanged between laboratory and production units - without any calibration standardization. Furthermore, your existing calibrations, even data from other suppliers, can be transferred easily to your new BUCHI FT-NIR spectrometer.

8. NIRCal creates better performance

Use the powerful NIRCal software to evaluate your production data. Keep an eye on what is going on at your sites. For evaluating or updating a calibration NIRCal is the ideal tool. The patented Calibration Wizard and the comprehensive NIRCal Toolbox support even unexperienced users building up powerful calibrations.

9. NIR Networking for local and global control

For local data handling the LIMS interface connects your BUCHI NIR to laboratory information or enterprise resource planning software using standard interchange formats. For global players NIRAnywhere is the comprehensive network management tool. Headquarters can automatically backup data and update applications by remote connection. You gain full access and transparency to all your production and QC relevant data.

10. NIRMaster as part of all-embracing NIRSolutions

BUCHI NIRSolutions not only offers leading hardware technology, but also the most comprehensive standard software, applications and reference methods as well as quality service and support to help you work effectively and efciently. The BUCHI NIRMaster is an integral part of BUCHI NIRSolutions.
