Measuring ash in flour

System offers millers and bakers the ability to read ash measurements accurately and consistently whether they are using an on-line of off-line instrument

Branscan's latest product to reach the market is the Fluoroscan, claimed to be the world's first system that uses an image analysis system for measuring ash in flour.

Soon to be available in both on- and off-line systems, the F500 model off-line system is the first on the market.

The system's intelligent algorithm is based on the Branscan algorithm, which is currently used in systems for measuring bran and specks in flour.

Fluoroscan is easy to use: the product to be scanned is loaded into a sample tray, which is then placed into the viewing area.

The system then captures a snapshot of a fixed area.

Computer and camera technology are used to analyse the captured image to provide accurate ash readings.

Fluoroscan offers millers and bakers the ability to read ash measurements accurately and consistently reagardless of whether they are using an on-line of off-line instrument.

The systemcan provide the ash value of flour, semolina and feedback without using a daily calibration method.

It can be used in the laboratory or production floor, while still giving the users accurate and consistent results within minutes.

This technology can be applied to other forms of dry powder.

Powders can be checked for impurities or for homogeneity.
