Fully Automatic Crude and Detergent Fiber

Accurate and reproducible results are what a scientist of the animal feed industry needs for fiber determinations to meet the requirements of product labeling and quality control.

The FIWE Advance automates digestion, washing anf filtration steps guaranteeing consistency for Crude Fiber with Weende Method and Detergent Fiber for fiber fraction with Van Soest Method (NDF, ADF and ADL).

Your results in compliance to Official Reference Methods

FIWE Advance provides consistent and compliant results ensuring the maximum accuracy and avoiding sample transfer.

The sample remains in the crucible during the extraction steps digestion, filtrations and washing in addition to weighing and the final drying and ashing.

Fiber extractions requiring only 2 minutes operator time

With the FIWE Advance every lab can benefit from a cost reduction resulting from the lowest operator time required in front of the instrument (2 min vs 57 of a semi-automatic solution).

Every step of the analysis digestion, washing and filtration is automated and controlled by the instrument with the possibility to receive immediate alert and alarm notifications.

Extractions with the maximum safety

Fiber determination with the FIWE Advance will be absolute safe.

All reagents are preheated dosed and dispensed thanks transparent tanks with heating elements and a set of sensors and pumps to drive the hot chemicals into each column avoiding the operator to get in contact with hot fumes.

Superior ease-of-use and connectivity

The FIWE Advance allows you to connect multiple accessories such as the bar code reader that facilitates data insertion and eliminates the risk of transcription errors.

By connecting your balance, FIWE Advance will be able to calculate, store and report your analysis results.

Intuitive interaction

A clear 7″ touch-screen and the VELP User Interface simplify every operation guiding and informing the user through the analysis.

It is possible to choose from preinstalled methods of analysis developed by VELP or customize new ones.

Furthermore, is possible to mark preferred methods for maximum convenience.

Monitor and control your FIWE from the cloud

Safely access to your instrument data and working condition trough VELP Ermes web platform.

The cloud technology will reduce your daily manual tasks and repetitive operations thanks to real-time monitor and control of your FIWE Advance.

Immediate event and alarm notification will guarantee you peace of mind and unattended fiber extractions.

OTA Software Updates will guarantee you to have an instrument always guaranteeing maximum performance and benefit from new features.
