MEASURING SYSTEM FOR FOODSTUFFS

Abstract: a measuring system for automated determination of a quality of a foodstuff mixture includes a product holder for a liquid or viscous foodstuff, a housing for receiving the product holder, a sensor device for measuring a parameter value of the foodstuff, a control device, an additive dosing device to deliver an additive to the foodstuff, and a mixing device, which includes a mixing body provided in the product holder with a magnetisable or magnetic material, and a displacing device for the mixing body. the control device is arranged for moving the mixing body in such a way that it performs a repeated to-and-fro motion in the product holder. as a result, the foodstuff and the additive are mixed to produce the foodstuff mixture. this measuring system can add an additive to a foodstuff and mix the two together according to a desired protocol, without human intervention and without needing to open the product holder. this improves the reliability of the measurements.
