One analyzer across incoming beans, processing, and finished product.

For QC & the Lab

‍Composition at every stage. Fast fat and moisture on beans, liquor, butter, powder, and chocolate, with UCal 4 for proprietary recipes and full traceability.

For Production & Operations

‍Protect yield and viscosity. A sealed, fanless analyzer runs at-line through the dusty, warm conditions of a cocoa plant, giving one-touch results to keep the process on target.

For Plant Management

‍One standard across sites and shifts. TRUE ALIGNMENT and KPMLink hold every analyzer to the same standard.

Fat and moisture are the primary drivers; the extended range also supports fatty acids and other difficult constituents relevant to cocoa and confectionery.

Ready-to-use food calibrations include:

• Chocolate
• Cocoa Beans
• Cocoa Nibs
• Cocoa Liquor
• Cocoa Butter
• Cocoa Powder

Additional confectionery calibrations are available, and custom calibrations can be built with UCal 4. Talk to our experts about your unique needs.

The same analyzer runs on the QC bench and out on the production floor - one platform, one set of results.

• Fast: samples analyzed in under a minute; results on a 17" touchscreen in a couple of touches.
• Simple & safe: little or no sample prep, no hazardous chemicals to buy, store, or dispose of.
• Sealed & fanless: a completely sealed, powder-coated aluminum case with no venting or fan - at home in a clean lab and rugged enough for dust and vibration at-line.
• Stays aligned: patented TRUE ALIGNMENT (TAS) detects and corrects for shock, temperature, and lamp changes, so results hold over time and across locations.
• Connected: UScan software with SPC charting, SQL database, LIMS options, and cloud

• Cocoa calibrations out of the box: ready-to-use models for beans, nibs, liquor, butter, powder, and chocolate.
• Faster: minutes instead of hours, no solvents, operator-independent results you can act on at the line.
• Open calibration approach: ready-to-use Unity calibrations plus UCal 4 to build or port your own models freely.
• No mandatory recurring license to keep your analyzer running. Combined with a user-changeable 10,000-hour lamp and low-cost user parts, this can lower total cost of ownership.
• Extended range, dual detector: 680–2600 nm across 1,920 data points, wider than the conventional ~800–2500 nm NIR window, to support difficult constituents like fibers, sugars, and fatty acids.
• Sealed, fanless design: no venting or fan, for dust and vibration resistance at-line.
• ISO 12099 aligned: meets NIR guidelines for feedstuffs, cereals, and milled cereal products.
