ProFoss™ for WPC/MPC

ProFoss™ for WPC/MPC process optimisation

ProFoss™ for whey protein concentrate/milk protein concentrate is an in-line process analysis solution employing high-resolution technology for accurate monitoring and ratio analysis of your WPC/MPC process. This easy-to-use solution ensures consistent quality and optimised solids to protein ratio for increased product consistency and savings in raw materials.

RINA

Products RINA networking software

ProFoss analysers are supported by the RINA software suite. This provides an internet-based network connecting individual instruments to a control centre. NIR experts at the centre perform monitoring and management tasks remotely, allowing the local user to get on with routine analysis operations.

Precision technology and transferable calibrations

ProFoss™ employs a near infrared-based analysis technology known as high resolution diode array analysis. Remote support and maintenance via the internet is available.

The ProFoss™ analyser is available with dedicated
interfaces based on reflectance or transmittance technology, whichever is best suited for each application area.

Measurements are done directly on the moving sample
in the process stream. A high-intensity dual-lamp light
source illuminates the sample directly or through an
optical fibre. The light interacts with the sample and the
reflected or transmitted light is measured by the diode
array sensor. The backup lamp in the dual lamp system
secures uptime and analytical accuracy is unchanged
even after switching to a new lamp.

The complete wavelength range is measured instantaneously enabling measurements to be accurately carried out even on fast moving sample. Calibrations are transferable between units ensuring easy expansion to other measurement points. Integration to process regulations systems can be done through the FOSS OPC interface.

How to improve WPC/MPC production

In process control seemingly minor adjustments can have a big impact. For example, a 0.02% variation in protein content in the liquid phase leads to 0.2% variation in final powder. A FOSS in-line process analysis solution helps you to monitor and control your filtration process. The outcome will be a decreased average protein content in the WPC or MPC, replacing it with water and lactose, without compromising product quality.

The optimal solution for WPC/MPC process analysis

The high resolution technology behind the accuracy of the ProFoss system also has benefits when implementing the system. Measurement consistency and stability can be relied on across individual instruments so you can reduce the time and costs associated with installation of individual analysers. The standardisation and stability of the solution, as well as the intelligent FOSS calibration tool ISIcal™, makes it fast and easy for non-experts to develop or expand calibrations and transfer them across units.

Greater control for improved processes

  • Robust, process solution withstands water and vibration and complies with hygiene regulations
  • Reliable and low maintenance – keeps on running for maximum uptime
  • Results can be fed into your production/SCADA system and/or be presented on a screen in the control room for rapid adjustments of your process
  • Full technical support and preventive maintenance options
