High-precision spectrocolorimeter MYHB

high-speed

Overview
The MYHB online color and specks measurement unit continuously monitors product color and specks during flour and semolina production. It detects subtle color deviations and contamination in real time and supports immediate or automated process adjustments to improve product consistency.

Key benefits

• Reduce laboratory sampling and subjective tests (e.g. Pekar test, manual speck counting) by providing continuous objective online measurements.
• Ensure transparency and traceability with continuous data logging for trend analysis, quality documentation and recall investigations.
• Maintain consistent product quality by detecting color deviations and speck contamination promptly and enabling fast corrective actions or automatic process control.

Highlight features

• Compact retrofit design: suitable for installation on gravity spouts, downstream scales and retarding sections without major plant modifications.
• Combination capability: integrates with the NIR Multi Online Analyzer for simultaneous monitoring of chemical and physical properties (moisture, protein, gluten, ash, water absorption, starch damage).
• High-resolution imaging: continuous image capture to measure color in CIE L*a*b* and to detect and classify brown/black specks by size from 80 µm.

Combine with NIR Multi Online Analyzer
When combined with a NIR Multi Online Analyzer, the system provides a broader inline overview of both visual and compositional parameters, displayed in real time with data storage for process control and quality management.

Accurate analysis
The MYHB core is a special high-resolution camera mounted to the gravity spouting. It captures a constant image stream, measures color values in the CIE L*a*b* space and recognizes specks ≥80 µm, classifying them by size for quantitative monitoring.

Real-time operation
The system continuously analyzes color and specks, supports manual or automatic process adjustments, and reduces dependence on intermittent laboratory tests to stabilize milling output quality.

Applications

• Flour and semolina production lines
• Grain handling and processing where online color and contamination monitoring is required
