ChemWiz-ADK™ NIR Feed and Pet Food Analyzers

Analysis of Pet Foods including Ingredients and Blends

ChemWiz-ADK PRO App “Admin mode” demo running the included starter calibration model for pet food displaying %Fat, Moisture, Protein, & Ash. A new sample is saved and added to the calibration model for the specific kibble blend.

ChemWiz-ADK PRO App “Admin mode” model statistics compare and view. In this panel the admin can add their own samples in real-time to any calibration model. Admins can recompute and improve the chemometrics models with new samples added and compare the model statistics. If the new samples improve the model fit, then the model can be saved or saved as new, or the sample can be discarded and more samples added, repeat. This easy-to-use interface can allows users to customize every calibration model for their own local samples.

Starter Pet Food Kibble Blend Packages

Included with your system is our starter Pet Food Kibble Blend Calibration. This calibration model predicts fat, moisture, protein and ash in a typical pet food kibble blend.  The calibrations were generated using over 30 different kibble blend samples varying in composition and has an estimated error of prediction less than +/-1% when measuring similar samples.  It is the perfect calibration to get you up and running measuring composition of kibble blend samples.

Additionally, the system includes a starter Chicken Feed Calibration. These calibration models predicts fat, moisture, protein, and ash in these feed samples.  The calibrations were generated using over 30 different samples varying in composition and have an estimated error of prediction less than +/-1% when measuring similar samples.  It is the perfect calibration to get you up and running measuring composition of chicken feed. 

Calibration Model Refinement and Customization

Our Pet Food Analyzers are based on NIR (near-infrared) reflectance technology and the system’s accuracy is based on our starter calibration package and comparability with your own samples.

Our new ChemWiz-ADK PRO App software allows users to refine and customize our starter calibrations to their own local samples. If customers would like additional support, we recommend that along with each ChemWiz-ADK-PF, a Calibration Model Refinement and Customization Service Package be added to guarantee the best possible performance of your system.

Calibration Model Development for Similar Sample Type

There are many types of pet foods, raw ingredients, processing intermediates, and blend formulations that can easily be measured with the ChemWiz-ADK-PF.  Our new ChemWiz-ADK PRO App software allows users to easily make new models for their own new sample types. If you would like additional support, we recommend purchasing a Calibration Model Development Service Package along with your ChemWiz-ADK-PF.  Calibration model development usually takes just a few weeks and you will be assigned a StellarNet calibration development engineer who will work with you to finalize your custom analyzer solution. We suggest users try using our ChemWiz-ADK PRO software tools to create their own custom calibrations and if they are having difficulties contact our team for support.
