Applications

Analysis of Homogeneous & Non-Homogeneous Samples

QuikCheck Analyzers are used to measure moisture and oil (fat) of homogenous solids, as well as moisture and oil (fat) of non-homogeneous slurries, powders, and pastes. The product can be placed into a dish or a vial for analysis. Common QuikCheck Analyser applications include:

General Food

  • Cereal
  • Coffee
  • Corn meal
  • Dairy powders
  • Dehydrated Potato
  • Fruit/Vegetable powders
  • Seasonings
  • Starches

Snack Food

  • Biscuits
  • Cookies
  • Crackers
  • Popcorn
  • Potato chips
  • Pretzels
  • Tortilla chips

Animal Food Products

  • Beet pulp
  • DDGS
  • Fish feed
  • Hard pet food
  • Meat and bone meals

Industrial & Misc.

  • Biofuels
  • Ceramics
  • Crumb rubber
  • Detergents
  • Fertilizers
  • Minerals

  • Tobacco
  • Wood products

How It Works

The QuikCheck at-line or lab analyser is a rotating “look-down” near infrared (NIR) benchtop solution for the analysis of non-homogeneous solids and powders for moisture, oil (fat) content, and other important quality parameters. Example sample types include:

  • Snack foods
  • Food ingredients
  • Cereals
  • Tobacco
  • Chemicals, and more

Designed for speed and simplicity, the QuikCheck integrates seamlessly into most quality assurance labs or production facilities to enhance the inspection process. Results are returned to the operator in 5-to-10 seconds for rapid feedback.
