Solids analyzer MYRG

for powdersmonitoringfor the food industry

Overview
The NIR Multi Online Analyzer MYRG monitors and adjusts the quality of flour and semolina in real time during milling. The system supports process automation to stabilize product quality, reduce waste and downtime, and improve traceability for food‑safety management.

Key benefits

• Consistent product quality: measures composition (protein, fat, moisture) and other physicochemical properties to enable automated control and consistent output.
• Preset applications: delivered with pre‑calibrated applications for grains, seeds and pulses based on Bühler calibration models and milling expertise.
• Reduced waste and downtime: real‑time monitoring identifies process deviations quickly to enable corrective actions.

Food safety
The MYRG spectrometer provides millisecond‑fast measurements and documents the milling process. All measurement data are automatically saved as trend graphs and statistics to support traceability, audits and recalls.

How it works
The system is a multiplexing near‑infrared solution that can monitor up to six measurement positions placed before, during and after milling. A detector analyses reflected light from illuminated free‑flowing product and predicts quality using robust Bühler calibration models. Plant integration enables closed‑loop automatic control.

Automated milling process
Online NIR sensors form feedback loops that enable automatic adjustments in the milling process (examples: check protein and moisture on incoming wheat to select silo, adjust mill settings for target ash, add gluten powder to increase protein, blend flours to meet specifications).

Other features

• Rugged design: sensor housings are engineered to withstand dust, heat and vibration typical of milling environments.
• Retrofitting: compact sensors can be installed into existing mills; system comprises sensors and a control cabinet (only sensors installed in the production line).
• Complementary systems: compatible with online color and specks unit MYHB for visible contaminant detection.
• Data handling: automatic logging, trend graphs and statistical exports support traceability and recall management.
• Preset calibrations: extensive pre‑calibrations and milling know‑how to ensure relevant predictions across raw materials.

Application possibilities

• Wheat
• Durum wheat
• Corn

White paper / economic impact
Combined online monitoring (MYRG and MYHB) can increase yields and reduce residual starch in bran; documented case studies report potential savings (example: up to EUR 160,000/year depending on plant and process).
