Phoenix 5000 NIR Dairy Analyzer
The Phoenix 5000 is an NIR dairy analyzer built for fast, accurate analysis of butter, cheese, whey, and dairy powders — all on a single instrument. In about 30 seconds it measures moisture, total solids, fat, and protein, at-line or in the lab, giving dairy processors the data to hold spec and keep every batch consistent.
One Analyzer for Every Dairy Product
Dairy quality control isn't one test — it's many. The Phoenix 5000 measures butter, cheese, whey, and dairy powders on a single instrument, with Top Window sample-cup flexibility that handles powders, solids, and liquids alike. Each scan returns results in about 30 seconds, so one analyzer covers your whole portfolio.
Butter
Track fat & moisture to hold spec, reduce giveaway, and keep every batch consistent.
Cheese
Monitor moisture, fat, and protein during make, then scan liquid whey off your vats to recover value.
Dairy Powders
Control moisture in milk, whey, and protein powders to protect shelf life and prevent caking.
Ice Cream
Verify fat, total solids, and sugar in the mix to lock in texture and protect finished quality.
