The DA 7350’s ability to provide instant in-process measurements helps users increase efficiency, reduce scrap and re-work while improving product consistency – meaning fewer errors, tighter specs, and happier customers.
Benefits & Features
Real-time measurements Continuous monitoring enables immediate process adjustments to maintain product consistency, reduce off-spec production, and optimize yield – eliminating the delays inherent in lab-based quality control.
Proven calibration library with direct transfer capability Access Perten's extensive calibration database developed from thousands of samples across multiple product types. Direct calibration transferability from benchtop DA Analyzers to In-Line Analyzer reduces implementation time and ensures consistency between lab and production measurements.
Integrated camera for production insights Built-in camera provides visual verification alongside NIR data, with applications for color determination and speck counting. Operators can view real-time snapshots of production flow at their workstation.
Industry 4.0 ready Web-based software interface simplifies operation and maintenance while supporting remote monitoring and data accessibility across your facility.
Rugged construction for production environments IP67 and IP69K ingress protection withstands washdown procedures and harsh conditions. ATEX and IECEx classifications enable safe installation in potentially dust-explosive environments. Or Clean-in-Place (CIP) configuration to meet standards in food production.
IoT-compatible communication Industry-standard protocols including OPC UA, PROFINET, ModBus TCP, and Fieldbus options allow straightforward integration with existing plant control systems and ERP platforms.
Applications
Calibrations to Service Multiple Markets
Backed by Perten's extensive calibration library and expertise, the DA 7350 delivers versatile deployment across diverse food and industrial processing environments. Install at critical control points – pipes, hoppers, conveyors, mixers, dryers, blending points, or packaging lines. Measures granules, pellets, powders, pastes, syrups, flakes, and liquids for predictions of e.g. moisture, fat, protein, ash, fiber, and starch and more.
Some key markets include:
Flour Milling Maximize extraction rates through real-time ash monitoring. Optimize blending of wheat and flour streams to meet specification targets while minimizing raw material costs. Control gluten addition for consistent product quality.
Starch Production & Corn Milling Monitor moisture content across meal, starch, bran, and germ streams to optimize dryer efficiency and energy usage. Control starch-gluten separation stages and maintain product consistency.
Oilseed Processing Measure moisture, protein, and oil content for accurate pricing and binning decisions. Monitor and optimize extraction processes and drying operations.
Feed Milling Control moisture and fat content during mixing. Monitor water activity in finished products to prevent faulty batches and minimize rework. Track moisture loss during cooling and additions of molasses or oil.
Dairy Processing Optimize moisture inclusion during spray drying to reduce energy costs. Minimize product waste during grade changeovers. Monitor particulate contamination and control fat/moisture ratios in butter production.
Meat Processing and Rendering Determine fat and moisture in meat products. Optimize moisture, fat, protein, and ash content in rendering processes.
