Ometric Provides Real-Time, Inline Process Control for Wet and Dry Pet Foods

SpectrInline Processware(TM) Pet 1.5 set to improve profits and reduce risk for manufacturers

COLUMBIA, S.C., Oct. 24 // -- Spectroscopy innovator Ometric Corporation today announced the availability of SpectrInline Processware(TM) Pet 1.5, a new application of real-time, inline process control for the pet nutrition industry.

SpectrInline Processware(TM) Pet 1.5 will provide efficient, reliable high-volume process control for both wet and dry foods, said Ometric Corporation Chief Technology Officer Bob Freese.

"Today, accurately measuring concentration of the compounds of interest in pet foods is only possible by testing 'thief' samples in a laboratory through the use of wet chemical methods or optical spectrometers," Freese said. "The good news now is that, with SpectrInline Processware(TM), pet food manufacturers can have complete process control, at any and all points of manufacturing -- from the introduction of ingredients to final validation."

In the competitive pet food sector, manufacturers must ensure their products meet specified levels of moisture, fat, proteins, and other nutrients. In-lab testing of large quantities requires long periods of time and can interrupt production. Laboratory optical spectrometers are delicate and require constant calibration by highly qualified specialists. Thus, it's expensive for a pet-food manufacturer to implement even minimally adequate process control.

SpectrInline Processware Pet 1.5(TM) is installed directly in the process line, and it provides real-time measurement of the concentration of the compounds of interest. As with other industry applications of Ometric SpectrInline Processware(TM), Pet 1.5 utilizes patented Multivariate Optical Computing(TM) technology, refined over ten years of research and development. Manufacturing applications of SpectrInline Processware(TM) Pet 1.5 include blending, mixing monitoring, drying monitoring, material inspection, extrusion, coating and other desired quality control points.

"SpectrInline Processware(TM) provides an unprecedented opportunity for pet food manufacturers to use process control to improve profit margins and reduce the risk of misbranding," said Ometric Corporation Chief Executive Officer Walter Alessandrini. "The MOC(TM) technology is ideal for manufacturing applications, because it can operate in harsh industrial environments and it needs no human intervention for operation and calibration."
