Precise & reproducible microwave measurement

The industrial production of collagen and gelatine involves several stages, including raw material selection, pre-treatment to extraction, purification, and drying. These processes ensure high-quality end products with properties suitable for the intended applications. A clear understanding and optimization of production steps, such as dry matter measurement, are essential for improving efficiency and ensuring quality control.

Accurate measurement of total solids or density in collagen and gelatine is essential for optimizing production processes, ensuring regulatory compliance, and maintaining consistent product quality particularly during critical stages such as pre-treatment, extraction, and concentration.The Micro-Polar LB 566 measurement system from Berthold, highly accurate and repeatable measurements, ensuring stable and reliable process control from start to finish.

 

Technical Features

  • High accuracy < 0.2 wt.% dry matter content (first standard deviation)
  • Representative measurement results due to detection of the entire material flow in the pipeline
  • Reliable measurement with only one calibration factor, even with different sludges
  • Maintenance-free
