The Solarec Company is owned by the Belgian dairy cooperatives LDA (Laiterie Des Ardennes). The modern facility combines focus of quality and efficiency to supply a complete range of dairy products – from milk powder to butter. Solarec has invested in two PerkinElmer’s DA 7300 Iin-line NIR systems for its skim milk powder and whole milk powder production lines. Since 2015 Solarec has been using a third PerkinElmer DA 7300 in-line NIR system for monitoring and control of their butter production line.
This case study explores how our DA 7300 in-line NIR system allowed Solarec to get more homogenous butter production with consistently higher quality, improve production reliability and efficiency, increase profits.
