How Does it Work?

As part of the Perten Inframatic family, the IM9520 has been specifically designed for accurate flour analysis.

It analyses samples using near infrared (NIR) transmission, matched to industry standard wavelengths during manufacturing. This ensures the IM9520 uses a true wavelength scale, with calibrations you can use across other instruments. 

The spectroscopic NIR technique is rapid and produces reliable data in less than 30 seconds. 

The IM9520 has excellent network capabilities, with Windows connectivity and unlimited results data storage. 

Dedicated Flour Testing

The Perten IM9520 Flour NIR Analyser draws on a comprehensive calibration database which comes as standard with the instrument.

These calibrations are ready to use for wheat flour, rye flour and semolina, testing for key characteristics including moisture, protein and ash.

With our cloud-based network, you can configure this instrument and access your results anywhere and anytime.

• Flour millers can use the IM9520 to monitor and optimise yields, and ensure the quality of their product before distribution and delivery. Rigorous quality control helps reduce returns and claims. 

• Bakers can use the IM9520 to ensure their ingredients will meet the quality demands of their end-products, and make real-time process adjustments to optimise this quality.
