In-line
Alfalfa dehydration plants require precise control of drying processes to ensure consistent product quality, maximize efficiency and reduce energy consumption.
By integrating EVONIR sensor inline, alfalfa dryer plants can monitor material properties in real time, transforming drying operations into a fully automated and data-driven process.
Without real-time NIR analysis during drying, variability in incoming alfalfa leads to inconsistent product quality, inefficient energy use and avoidable losses.
Installing an EVONIR sensor allows operators to:
Dinamica Generale offers advanced NIR technologies designed to integrate directly into alfalfa dehydration lines. Through EVONIR inline sensors and portable X-NIR analyzers, drying operations can be connected to a broader system of process control and quality monitoring. These solutions deliver value to alfalfa processors, feed producers and plant operators, enabling better control of drying performance, improved product consistency and more efficient resource utilization.
The EVONIR analyzer is installed directly along the drying line to continuously monitor alfalfa during the dehydration process, providing real-time insight into material properties.
By measuring parameters such as moisture, protein and fiber, EVONIR enables operators to control drying performance and maintain consistent product quality.
When integrated with the plant control system, EVONIR can automatically adjust process variables such as temperature, belt speed and drying time, ensuring optimal conditions even when raw material variability changes.
Key benefits for alfalfa dryer plants
Real-time monitoring during drying allows operators to maintain optimal process conditions and avoid quality deviations.
This results in more uniform batches, improved downstream processing performance and better overall plant stability, especially when handling variable raw material.
X-NIR portable analyzers provide fast and flexible on-site analysis of incoming alfalfa batches before processing.
This enables operators to assess raw material quality and plan drying operations more effectively.
Key benefits for plant operations
The economic impact of real-time NIR analysis in alfalfa dryer plants is driven by improved energy efficiency, process control and product consistency.
Drying is one of the most energy-intensive steps in forage processing, and real-time monitoring allows operators to avoid over-drying and reduce unnecessary energy consumption.
Based on studies from FAO and MDPI, optimizing drying processes can reduce energy costs by 10–20%, corresponding to approximately €3–6 per ton, depending on plant efficiency and raw material variability.
This results in lower operating costs, reduced waste and more consistent product quality, delivering a fast and measurable return on investment.
