Norway''s feed miller first to install infra-red system to track feeding
The largest Norwegian feed compounder Felleskjopet Agri, has as the first feed company in the world installed a real time, instant feedback NIR (Near Infra Red) system in one of their their factories.
The system, called APIS Spektron Feed, was tested last year and will be installed in the next factory later this year.
APIS Spektron Feed measures feed quality parameters and instantly presents the results as numbers and graphs.
The NIR technology, combined with specialised software, gives instant feedback to enable fast corrective actions. Manual feed analysis results as well as relevant process parameters such as temperature may also be included and presented.
APIS Spektron Feed is designed for use in industrial environments and the measurement gauge is mounted over conveyor belts or in bulk conveyors.
