Extreme NIR Journey

ProxiMate is designed to work effectively in the most adverse conditions. Measurements are unaffected by temperature or humidity fluctuations.The instrument can be placed;where results matter: right next to the production line. With IP 66 ingress protection ProxiMate can be pressure-hosed down to meet even the most stringent hygiene standards.

Our applications chemists have developed many ready-to-use precalibrations for the main food and feed industries. Whether you are analyzing cheese, milk powder or minced meat: Setting ProxiMate up to get accurate results requires minimal effort and can be done by everybody.​

Thanks to the intuitive, modern touchscreen interface, ProxiMate operation has been optimized to make it logical, easy and straight- forward. The touchscreen follows the proven interface logic of other BUCHI products, making it easy for everybody to setup applications, test samples or set preferences.​
