Duralyzer-NIR/VIS Technology:

The NIR/VIS spectrometer technology allows very fast and easy sample preparation for Kappa quality laboratory tests. The pulp sample is washed, hand squeezed and then measured on a scale to approximately 2 grams. It is then dispersed in a blender with one litter of water. The resulting pulp slurry is then poured into the analyzer funnel and the analyzes is started with a simple acknowledgement of "Analyze Sample" button.
The sample consistency is measured by the analyzer and the chemicals are added automatically. After each test, the analyzer is flushed out to be ready for the next sample. The change in spectrums are calculated and compared to an internal library of Kappa models. The test results are then reported on a LCD display, printed and send to the mill database. The analysis is fast and takes only about 14 minutes. The test itself is operator independent and gives accurate, reliable and repeatable analysis every time.
