In order to face the challenges encountered in the supply chain nowadays all over the world, it is crucial to build a backup network of suppliers, able to provide the raw material when the main suppliers can’t. However, a different elemental composition of raw material can affect the chemical resistance, shelf-life, hardness, elasticity, etc. of the final product, resulting in an unpleasant end-user experience.
VELP firsthand is facing this situation, and like many of our customers, we strongly rely on our
elemental analyzers. In particular, we are able to support the quality control process using the
EMA 502 to compare and validate new suppliers’ products: by the content of Carbon, Nitrogen, Hydrogen, Sulfur and Oxygen, our specialists can confirm the percentage of these elements in order to go on with the purchasing process and speed up the production timetable.
On the other hand, for food, feed & beverage companies, testing and quality control are essential to adhere to regulatory approval and to measure the components and quality of ingredients during manufacture. The methods and equipment used for analysis depend on various factors and requirements: select the right
Kjeldahl,
Dumas or
Soxhlet analyzer to receive the right data to take the right decision.
