Features and benefits
Diode Array technology
Diode array technology offers a number of important advantages:
– Simultaneously measures all wavelengths. This is an important advantage over the old technologies during product flow. Just like a digital camera takes pictures, Diode Array measures the wavelengths of all spectra simultaneously. Mono-chromators, Spinning filter wheels and FTNIR technology devices measure the wavelengths in turn. That is, as the product moves, it measures a wavelength on one product, and the other wavelength on the other product. Therefore, Diode Array technology is the most suitable for moving products.
- High performance
- Fast
- Minimun care
The device is equipped with a scratch-resistant sapphire window. This feature extends device life, improves measurement performance and minimizes maintenance requirements.
Communication interface in accordance with industrial standards
The device is equipped with an OPC server for easy integration into existing control systems.
Open data
The data can be entered into the SQL Server database.
Camera
The color camera offers many advantages.
- Color parameters meter
- Detects pike in flour, semolina and other powder products.
- Provides photo and video images that help troubleshoot.
- Detects that the product moves and stops.
Automatic light bulb
Long-term stability
The system is equipped with double bulbs to prevent analysis pause and repair operations. As soon as the first bulb has reached its life, the second bulb is automatically activated.
Robust design
The device is designed for long life and low maintenance. The device is also ATEX certified against dust explosions.
Easy service
The device is designed for easy service. This includes an easy modular design for easy access to parts, troubleshooting and unclear alerts and error messages.
To further reduce the need for servicing, the device is equipped with several diagnostic tools:
- LED indicators showing current status
- Warning and fault recording
- Software update, maintenance and troubleshooting via Windows interface.
- Easily accessible parts

Applications
Measure granules, pellets, powders, pastes, syrups, flakes, liquids and more. The most commonly measured parameters are moisture, protein, ash, fat/oil, fiber and starch.
Many options are available for mounting – all designed for specific uses and products. The DA 7300™ can be mounted on pipes, hoppers, conveyors, mixers, at the entrances of a product, at its outputs, before or after dryers, before packaging or at other critical points in the process.
The DA 7300™ is installed and used at many agri & food production sites worldwide. These are a few examples of its applications.
Flour Milling – Maximize flour extraction through accurate real-time ash measurements. Blend wheat and flour streams to reach target specifi cation. Optimize gluten addition.
Starch Production and Corn Milling – Cost and energy savings by monitoring and controlling the dryer, constant product quality and higher output by protein control loops and avoiding quality giveaways.
Oilseed Processing – Measure moisture, protein and oil in grain for pricing and binning. Monitor and optimize extraction and drying. Control moisture & fat in mixer. Higher productivity by increasing yield and avoiding faulty batches and rework. Control moisture loss in cooling and additions of molasses/oil.
Dairy Processing – Reduce energy costs when spray drying milk powder by monitoring product moisture in real-time. Minimize grade change-over time and reduce waste; monitor black particles. Optimize the fat /moisture content of butter. The DA 7300™ is USDA approved for installation in dairy processing plants.
Accessories for DA 7300™ In-line NIR
Mounting Panel Accessory
The mounting panel is an accessory to the DA 7300™ In-Line NIR analyser. This facilitates mounting on a vessel, a conveyor side or any other location where the instrument is viewing the product from the side. The panel mounts on a frame that is to be welded on to the side of the measurement chamber in question.
Features and Benefits
| Easy installation: |
Simply weld the frame on the vessel side and bolt the door with instrument on the frame. |
| Easy Cleaning: |
In the event the instrument window requires cleaning, simply open the door and wipe the window. |
| Includes a blind panel: |
In the event the instrument is to be removed, simply mount the blind panel and the production can continue without product spillage. |
| Stainless Steel Construction: |
Durable and robust for long life. |

Technology
No moving parts
Diode array technology is unique in the sense that it doesn’t use any moving parts in the spectrometer. This greatly improves the stability of the instrument as there are no parts that can be worn out or misaligned. The result is an instrument which requires much less maintenance than when moving parts are used, as for example is the case with scanning monochromators.
- A lamp illuminates the sample with white light. Some of the light is absorbed (depending on the composition of the sample) and the rest is reflected.
- The light which is reflected hits a stationary grating, which separates the light by wavelength. Instead of white light, we now have a “rainbow”.
- Each wavelength is measured by a dedicated detector.
All wavelengths simultaneously
With diode array technology all wavelengths are measured simultaneously, as each wavelength has a dedicated detector. This is necessary in order to be able to analyze a moving sample. Using scanning monochromator technology or Spinning filter wheel, the spectrum is collected one wavelength at the time, and if the sample moves the picture will be blurred.
Line Source Wavelength stabilization
In all optical systems, microscopic mechanical movements occur over time and with temperature changes. These small movements give rise to changes in the wavelength scale and alignment. In order to achieve long term stability, it is imperative to correct for any such changes dynamically. In the DA 7300™ On-line, this is done using a line source which brings the wavelength axis back to the starting point. The benefit with using a line source is that this emits light with peaks at certain wavelengths. The position of these peaks depend on the line source used and is constant with that material. This gives unsurpassed wavelength axis accuracy and long erm stability.
Dual lamp with automatic switch-over.
In order to avoid down-time and costly rush repair jobs, the system is fitted with dual lamps. Once the primary lamp reach the end of its working life, the second lamp is automatically put in to operation in a seamless transition.
