Hard Wheat
Flour millers can monitor flour extraction efficiency and flour quality by tracking the moisture, protein, and ash content during the process analysis.
Analysis for the Agricultural Industry
The Agricultural market has relied on near infrared analysis and automated wet chemistry for many years as a fast and reliable means to perform quality and quantitative testing for a variety of products such as grains, flour, feed, forage, pet food, oil seeds, tobacco and many more. Unity has partnered with experts in the field including Dr. John S Shenk and Dr. Franklin (Woody) Barton to develop the best tools possible to meet the challenges in these markets.
Feed / Forage
Animal feed and forage is routinely analyzed for moisture, fat, protein, fiber, starch, ash, minerals, and more to insure that the feed will provide proper animal nutrition.
Oil Seed Processing
Routine NIR analyses are conducted on soybean meal, soybean hulls, and soybean “white flakes” to monitor milling and oil extraction processes.
Peanut Processing
Unity offers a wide range of near infrared analysis solutions from at-line, laboratory to complete on-line monitoring systems to help in maintaining a high standard of quality control within the peanut processing production facility.
Finished Feed
Unity offers unique near infrared (NIR) solutions for finished feed with our new SpectraStar 2500 top window system that has a wide variety of sampling devices and accessories.
Tobacco Processing
NIR analysis has long been used in the tobacco industry to analyze incoming tobacco leaf, in-process product, and finished product.
Soft Wheat
Soft wheat flour is the main food ingredient in baked goods made from batters such as cakes, cookies, and biscuits.
Pet Food
NIR is an important quality tool used in the pet food industry. Analysis of incoming raw materials, in-process intermediates, and finished products can help to ensure product quality and provide quick financial payback.
Corn Processing
Grain processors are the pioneers of applying Near Infrared (NIR) technology to milling processes of agricultural products.
Feed Ingredient Processing
In the agricultural product community, very high standards of quality control are set globally for the production of feed products.
Ethanol / Biodiesel
Ethanol production is one of fastest growing segments in the grain industry. The use of agricultural products for conversion to fuel is seeing huge growth in today’s market.
