NIRMaster

The first stand alone FT-NIR-spectrometer with "hygienic design", the BUCHI NIRMaster is fully at-line compatible in the production environment of food and feed industries. The cleaning and the operation is extremely simple and safe and complies with the special hygienic requirements.

The BUCHI NIRMaster is available in a food certified polymer or stainless steel enclosure, with ingress protection class IP54 or higher. With the wide range of pre-calibrations the NIRMaster is ready for immediate implementation without the need of frequent, expensive instrument standardizations.

The unique polarization interferometer provides the NIRMaster with a level of robustness that is not achievable by other technologies. Its high sensitivity assures reliable and accurate results even in harsh environments.

The user can operate the NIRMaster from an intuitive touch screen interface, providing highest usability and all relevant results at a glance.

 The NIRMaster

• is a robust system to be placed at incoming goods inspection or at-line in production areas.
• is developed for difficult dusty or wet environment.
• is water proof or tight, depending on customer needs, eg. when cleaning the production area with a water hose.
• provides pre-installed applications, ready to use for food, feed, dairy, meat and bakery industries.
   

Good reasons for applying FT-NIR spectroscopy

For years, FT-NIR spectroscopy has proven to be the ideal tool for routine checks in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries as well as in food and feed processing plants. Hundreds of applications have already been successfully solved using NIRSolutions.

• Versatile - simultaneous measurement of several parameters
• Fast - measurement results obtained within seconds
• Easy - extremely user-friendly routine
• Economical - reduces operating expenses
• Environmentally beneficial - no chemical waste
• Safe - no chemical reactions
• Efficient - more analyses from a batch per time unit

• Information content - Classical devices operate with just a few selected wavelengths. The NIRMaster, on the other hand, covers a spectral range from 1000 to 2500 nm, with optimal resolution for your samples.
• Fast - All frequencies are measured simultaneously and strike the detector at the same moment. The advantage: high optical throughput, improved signal-to-noise ratio.
• High precision and reproducibility - Wavelength accuracy is guaranteed by using a HeNe laser signal. This ensures calibration transfer between instruments without standardization.
• Unlimited range of applications - A wide variety of samples and parameters can be checked with the same instrument.
