M-SERIES III

The Agtron M‑SERIES III is a Super Abridge Spectrophotometer built for food processors who need fast, reliable, and objective measurements when determining the degree of bake, roast, fry or color consistency. If you work with larger or irregular products like nuts, chips, or baked goods, this unit lets you measure them in their natural, whole form. That means no extra milling, sorting, or prep work. You get a clear reading quickly so you can make decisions on batch consistency and process adjustments without guessing.

This is the perfect tool if you want to reduce variability and keep production consistent. The M‑SERIES III acts as a reflectance spectrophotometer, analyzing how much light bounces off your product surface and converting that into a simple, actionable score. You’ll know immediately if a batch meets your standards or if adjustments are needed.

• Large Sample Area: The unit measures roughly 18 square inches, large enough for chips, nuts, or baked goods with irregular shapes.
• Whole Product Measurement: Most items can be measured without milling or sorting. This saves time and keeps your product intact.
• Single Numerical Readings: The color output is straightforward. Operators can quickly see if the batch passes or if adjustments are needed.
• Durable and Reliable: Solid-state design minimizes downtime and keeps your analyzer working longer.

This is a tool built for production floors and busy quality control labs. You don’t need specialized training to get accurate readings, which means faster results and less operator error.

1. Place your product on the measurement area. No extra prep needed.
2. The reflectance spectrophotometer shines light on the surface and measures reflected light.
3. The color spectrophotometer converts that reflection into a numeric score.
4. You get an immediate reading that helps you decide if the batch is consistent or if you need to adjust processing.

This process works for a wide range of products and makes sure each reading is consistent, repeatable, and accurate.

The M‑SERIES III works well with foods where color signals quality or degree of processing:

• Nuts and nut pieces like almonds, peanuts, and mixes
• Snack chips and extruded snacks
• Baked goods including rolls, cookies, and crackers
• Cereal and other grains
• Any product where surface color matters for quality and consumer appeal

Operators can quickly compare batches and maintain a consistent appearance, reducing waste and rejected product.
