Unstable measurements and safety margins lead to unnecessary fat losses and reduced profitability. 
The MicroPolar LB 566 delivers precise real-time moisture measurement – allowing you to control fat content exactly where it impacts your bottom line.

  • Eliminate costly safety margins
  • Reduce fat losses and improve yield
  • Avoid rejected batches due to off-spec moisture
  • Monitor your process continuously in real time

⇒ Precise data enables you to operate exactly at the optimal target – safely and profitably.

Proven Accuracy You Can Trust

Real-time measurements closely match laboratory data, proving high accuracy and reliability.

 

✦ Stable Performance in Real Time
Continuous measurement stays within a tight ±0.15% tolerance band, even under changing production conditions.

✦ Excellent Correlation with Lab Data
A coefficient of determination of R² ≈ 0.99 confirms an almost perfect match between inline and laboratory values

✦ Confidence to Control Your Process
With a maximum deviation of only ±0.12%, the system delivers the accuracy required for reliable inline measurement.

Proven Accuracy Over Weeks of Production

Unmatched Measurement Stability

The Clear Advantage of Berthold

Validation under real production conditions shows consistent and reproducible results even across varying batches, cleaning cycles, and process interruptions.
Laboratory reference values remain almost entirely within the tight tolerance range, confirming long-term stability without recalibration or drift.
