Brabender Kernelzyer F&G

The introduction of spectroscopy with light in the short-wavelength spectrum of near infrared radiation is one of the technological quantum leaps in the recent history of the laboratory analysis of foodstuffs.

F is for flour: Flour with NIR
 
The Brabender® Kernelyzer-F relies on tried and proven NIR technology in this field of analytics. With this the spectra are indicated which are reflected by different substances as characteristic signals. At the focus of this data-gathering are central quality parameters such as humidity, protein, sedimentation values, wet gluten content and ash. With a precision that is stunning for the speed of this process, the Kernelyzer-F compiles and documents key data for the quality assurance of flour, cream of wheat, starch and similar powdered substances. The measurements take place practically just in time and automatically multiple times per sample. The selected parameters are determined simultaneously, allowing for a high sample throughput. The easy operation is typically Brabender®: Minimal sample preparation, automatic comparison with references, easy calibration possibilities with a databank for 100 products, and - last but not least . easy to clean. Naturally, a variety of IT interfaces for the networking of the device are integrated, allowing an increase of efficiency online in the laboratory and production.

G is for grain: Grains with NIT
 
The analysis specialists from Duisburg have gone one “high-tech step” further for the G- generation of the Kernelyzer. In this case, it is not the reflection, but instead the transmission of the near infrared waves that are measured for the characteristic substance spectra. It is precisely with the “granular” raw materials that these NIT values provide especially good and reproducible data - in particular for reliable and quick quality control when receiving incoming goods. The samples can be placed directly into the sample cell, and an automatic layer thickness adjustment is conducted according to the raw materials. All parameters that are familiar to NIR technology can be set. The Kernelyzer-G also possesses the advantages typical of Brabender technology, namely a quick technique, high precision, easy operation and versatile networking.

Kernelyzer module technology: For NIT with 'G plus'

For the switch from NIR to NIT, Brabender® offers two optional supplementary modules for “product analysts” at different stages of the grain chain: -    Hectolitre module for a reliable and easy determination of hectolitre weight and fill density -    Flour module for a quick and precise analysis of powdery substances.

The Kernelyzer-G is operated intuitively via icons and is equipped with a modern “Central Operation Slider (COS)”. Hence, new device from Brabender is not only one high-tech step ahead when it comes to measurement technology, but also in user-friendliness.
