Online color and specks measurement for milling processes
In the milling industry, ensuring consistent product quality is crucial. Detecting color deviations and speck contamination in real time during flour and semolina production can significantly impact the final product quality. Traditional laboratory tests may not be efficient enough to address these issues promptly.
Monitor product color and specks continuously
The online color and specks measurement unit MYHB by Bühler is designed to enhance the milling process by providing real-time analysis of color and specks in flour and semolina. This unit replaces subjective testing methods such as the Pekar test or manual speck counting, offering more reliable and continuous monitoring. The high-resolution camera captures color values in the CIE color spectrum (L*a*b*) and detects specks as small as 80 micrometers. Data is stored for transparency and traceability, allowing for immediate adjustments to maintain consistent product quality. The compact design fits into existing milling systems, including gravity spouts and scales, and can be integrated with the NIR Multi-Online Analyzer for comprehensive process monitoring.
