Extreme NIR Journey
See how ProxiMate masters tough food applications.

Hi I'm Antony
BUCHI claims that their new NIR instrument is Robust, Flexible and easy to use. I took it on a road trip to test these claims. Watch the video to see how I got on.
Key Benefits

Extreme Robustness: waterproof, stainless steel housing
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 69 ingress protection ProxiMate can be pressure-hosed down to meet even the most stringent hygiene standards.

Applicative fit: thanks to many ready-to-use precalibrations
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.

Simple operation: with the intuitive touch- screen user interface
Thanks to the intuitive, modern touchscreen interface, ProxiMate operation has been optimized to make it logical, easy and straight- forward.
