Modèle LactoStar

Milk analysis device with fully automatic cleansing/ flushing and fully automatic zero-point calibration. Protein, lactose and minerals are determined in addition with the aid of a second measuring cell that is equipped with a combined impedance/ turbidity sensory technology. The freezing point is computed on the basis of the measured values that are ascertained.

Operation

Operation is simple and clear cut: 5-key operation, menu-assisted. Calibration: Two-point calibration: The device is calibrated with two reference milks. Calibration is effected automatically. Maintenance: Everyday maintenance work, such as cleaning, flushing and zero-point calibration are effected fully automatically. The timing of this maintenance work is selected by the operator, e.g. during night hours. Such a procedure lasts about 20 minutes. Appliance characteristics: 1. Products The LactoStar can store 20 different sets of calibration data. Various types of milk, e.g. full-cream milk, skim milk, cream, etc. can be analysed. You can change from one product to another without having to undertake a new calibration. 2. Interfaces 2.1. Parallel interface The LactoStar has a parallel interface for connecting up a normal commercial printer. For example, a thermal recording printer can be connected up. The 6-V terminal for this is located at the rear of the device. 2.2. Serial interface A PC can be connected to the serial interface. In this case, the measured results can be recorded and can be provided with additional information (date, time of day, delivery vehicle, special delivery numbers, etc.) Data recorded in this way can afterwards be further processed in appropriate programs (e.g. for table calculation or company-owned software, etc.) Moreover, the calibration data can be stored or processed. It is also possible to transfer the calibration profile from one device to another one, or to read this from a device and then to store it.
