Sugar Analysis
M.A.S… developed the “sugar analysis” module for the quality control of sugar. This is routinely applied in the quality control of a major sugar manufacturer. The dimensionality of single sugar crystals is analyzed. The total particle size distribution is determined from different micro- and macro-measurements. The crystal’s particle size distribution is then used to calculate the parameters of the RRSB distribution as well as what the specific values are. The data is saved in a database and a report is generated. The sugar analysis module contains the following functions:- Support of motor actuated XYZ tables
- Fully automatic image acquisition
- Computation of thickness for determining the examined volume
- Automatic particle analysis with including automatic separation of crystals in contact with one another and the distinction between crystals and air bubbles
- Classification
- Conflation of different micro- and macro-measurements to a total measurement dependent on the examined volume.
- Calculation of the RRSB distribution, RRSB parameters and specific values, like the specific number and size of particles.
- Storage of data in a database and generation of a report
