Food, Feed & Bulk Materials

Food, feed, and bulk materials particle size analysis using product images, continuous conveyor monitoring and suitable open vehicle loads.

Particle measurement across food, feed and bulk processing

Food and feed particle size analysis helps processors track size, shape, volume and colour through handling, screening and production. WipFrag measures samples and finished products on demand, while Solo continuously monitors suitable materials on conveyors or chutes. Reflex can also measure coarse bulk materials transported in open vehicle or railcar loads.

Common use cases

Raw ingredients and product samples

Measure the size and shape distribution of clearly visible ingredients, granules and other product samples. On-demand results give quality and process teams an objective way to compare suppliers, batches, recipes or operating conditions.

Processed-food uniformity

Assess the size and shape of discrete products such as cereal pieces, nuts, confectionery or other clearly separated items. Compare production runs and identify shifts in product uniformity without relying only on subjective visual inspection.

Egg size and shape characterization

Use controlled images to compare egg size and shape distributions across samples or batches. Automated measurements provide repeatable data for research, process evaluation and product characterization.

Screening and breakage monitoring

Track oversize, product breakage and changes in visible size distribution after screening, conveying or material transfer. These measurements can help identify process drift and determine where handling may be affecting the finished product.

Continuous bulk-material monitoring

Extend food and feed particle size analysis to suitable coarse materials moving on conveyors or chutes with Solo. Where material is transported in open trucks or railcars, Reflex can provide complementary load-by-load measurements of size and visible colour characteristics.
