Monitoring the Mixing Step in Feed Production with NIR
BUCHI NIR-Online® sensors: Analysis of Protein, Moisture, Fat, and Crude Fiber
Real-time control of the mixing step in the feed industry is critical in order to ensure a consistent high final product quality as well as to improve the milling performance. The mixing step involves combining various ingredients, such as grains and seeds to create a balanced and nutritious feed for livestock and poultry. Efficient monitoring during this stage is essential to guarantee the homogeneity and consistency of the final product. Monitoring key parameters such as protein, fat, moisture, and fiber during this step allows feed millers to operate closer to targets and thus, prevent expensive and time-consuming reworks as well as increase profit margins.
