Product Description

ProFoss™ 2 Fresh Cheese/Strained Yoghurt

Optimize Your Raw Material Usage

A common goal for producers of fresh cheese/strained yoghurt products such as Greek yoghurt, skyr, quark, labneh, and cream cheese is to make the best use of raw materials and ensure that final products are as close to target specifications as possible in terms of total solids and protein content, among other parameters. This way, yield and profit can be improved with confidence while always meeting quality and legislative requirements.

In-line process control allows yet more value to be gained from NIR analytical technology. By measuring directly in the process every few seconds, process variation of key parameters such as protein and total solids can be more closely monitored. This allows you to make continuous adjustments and bring final products closer to target.

Reduce Your Total Solids or Protein Variation and Increase Yield and Profit

• React in real-time to process changes and reduce process variations by up to 50%.
• Move the production target for total solids (TS) or protein (P) in the range of 0.10%-0.20% closer to product specifications and increase yield and profit.
• For example, an annual production of 10 tonnes can give annual raw material savings of up to 400,000 kg and ~70,000 EUR.

Stretch Your Profit Zone

• Production costs can be decreased, and the higher product consistency and quality will increase your competitiveness.

Get More Analysis Data with a Lateral Transmittance Probe

ProFoss™ 2 uses a lateral transmittance probe to analyze directly in the process pipe.

In concentrated dairy production, it is important for the infrared light to penetrate deep into the sample to obtain a good representative measurement.

The lateral transmittance probe is inserted directly into the pipe to measure a large volume of the material in the process (1.5 cm³). It uses a form of near infrared analysis called transmittance to penetrate deeper into the sample as opposed to so-called near infrared reflectance solutions which measure the surface.

The latest generation of the ProFoss™ 2 lateral transmission probe has been developed to yield even more analysis data. It has a higher intensity of light (x25), which gives a better signal and helps to ensure that all ProFoss™ 2 instruments can be relied on to always provide high-quality measurements. The frequency of measurements has also been boosted to give a clearer evaluation of fluctuations in protein and total solids in the process, allowing for closer control against production targets.
