Maximizing Food Quality and Productivity with the New Series 9 Color Gauge
Dayton, Ohio, USA – 06/13/2025 – Nordson Measurement & Control Solutions has launched the Series 9 Color Gauge, a breakthrough in food measurement technology. This all-in-one sensor is the only on-line gauge in the industry that simultaneously measures moisture, fat/oil, protein, and full-spectrum color, enabling manufacturers to optimize product quality and process efficiency in real time.
Designed for 24/7 operation on the production line, the Series 9 Color Gauge delivers unmatched performance while remaining easy to install, operate, and maintain. Built on a flexible, future-proof platform, it offers manufacturers the actionable insights they need to improve consistency, reduce waste, and enhance productivity.
Unlike traditional solutions that only monitor surface browning (Degree of Bake), the new Series 9 Color Gauge delivers complete color analysis using a wide range of industry-standard color models, including CIE (L, a, b*), Tristimulus (X, Y, Z), RGB, CIELCH (L, C, h), ΔE & ΔEcmc*, and Degree of Roast (DOR). This expanded capability makes it an essential tool for producers of biscuits, cookies, nuts, snacks, coffee, and more.
Field tests in leading food companies have demonstrated that precise, repeatable color readings—when combined with key constituent measurements—enable superior control over product appearance and quality. The result is higher consistency, faster decision-making, and improved customer satisfaction.
The Series 9 Color Gauge delivers:
- Advanced measurement technology that adapts to evolving production needs
- Seamless integration with Industry 4.0 environments
- Intuitive operation with minimal training
- Long-term cost savings through reduced maintenance and increased uptime
For food producers looking to stay ahead in a competitive market, the Series 9 Color Gauge is a game-changer.
