The BVM volume analyzer utilises laser mapping  to accurately measure size  and volume of bakery products in a few seconds.

It uses Laser topography to measure volume with greater accuracy than traditional methods, and the performs volume analysis in only seconds. A laser sensor moves in a semicircle around the rotating product, which means you will get accurate readings also for awkwardly shaped products. The length/height, width, depth and weight (optional) are measured and all the information is displayed on a computer screen together with a 3D, rotatable diagram of the product.

Operation and handling

Fast

Simple measure of volume, 10 – 60 s measuring times – with 20-30 seconds average.

Accurate and Reproducible

Nearly an ten times more accurate than seed displacement tests.

Objective

Not influenced by individual operators with transferable results.

Powerful

Comprehensive, but simple software – operate the instrument immediately after installation, Creates a 3-D rotatable graphic model of the object.

Versatile

Determine volume, length/height, width, depth, specific volume and weight on multiple varying product types.

Data handling

Save information directly in database files for quick access or transfer to spreadsheets.

Robust

Suitable in harsh environments

Non-contact measurement

Non-destructive measurement of many types of fragile products including baked goods, pup loaves, candy, extruded snacks.

Accessories
To be able to get a reliable volume, the product must be attached securely to the instrument, using a suitable attachment. The attachments are put on the support shafts. The instruments come with three support shafts in varying lengths. Custom made attachments and support shafts are available for unique needs.

Adjustable attachments	Hook attachments
This is used for smaller products like cookies, pralines and candy. These are more often used in the smaller sized instruments.	These are mostly used for thin products, like apple strudel and baguettes.
Circular supports	Flat supports
These are used for circular products and range from a diameter of 30 mm to 280 mm for larger circular products like pizzas.	These are used for most products. They exist in many varying sizes for smaller and larger products. The nails can be 10 or 20 mm in height.

Bakery Products

Quality Assurance and Control – Monitor bread making conditions, flour quality and ingredient performance. Take control of quality across different batches, shifts and production sites. Ensure product volume and packaging are matched.

Product and Process Development – Test kitchens, test bakeries and baking equipment suppliers: evaluate flour, ingredients, additives, improvers, processing equipment and methods.

Research and Development – Universities, food research institutes and food ingredient suppliers: research new ingredients, products and processes.
