cereals, grain, cheese, meat,
starch powders
Infralab 710 is the ultimate in NIR
laboratory and at line measurement.
Easy to use yet flexible enough to
meet the developing needs of food
processors worldwide.
Infralab 710 represents a major step
forward in instrument design, offering
many advantages in measurement
capability, performance and functionality.
Based upon NDC Infrared Engineerings
proven measurement technology,
InfraLab 710 is capable of providing
highly accurate multi-component
measurements in seconds. Key benefits
to its users include:
High speed sampling for improved
productivity
Improvements in product quality
and consistency through improved
process sampling
Major time and cost savings for
routine QC analysis
No sample preparation normally
required
Operator independent measurements
for dependable results
MEETING THE NEEDS
The InfraLab 710 analyser operates
with a PC and Windows software.
The analyser incorporates a touch
screen, which provides information
about the analyser activity and local
control for sample measurement.
The Infralab 710s many unique features
are designed to meet the demanding
requirements of the food industry:
