| 摘要 |
The invention relates to an arrangement in an infrared analyzer for determining the proportion of a given substance or substances in a powderous material, such as flour. When making an analysis, the infrared analyzer irradiates the material with infrared light and detects light reflected from the material through a window in the wall of a conduit, in which the material is passed in a direction substantially parallel with the window. During the analysis, the material is held stationary, and compacted in the conduit. The conduit has arranged therein a feed screw having a controllable drive-means in a material-infeed end, and extends horizontally or slopes upwardly from the aforementioned infeed end. A control means steers the drive means and the analyzer cyclically in a manner such that during a first time interval the drive means is activated and the analyzer inactivated, and that during a second time period the analyzer is activated and the drive means inactivated. |
