Model: MilkoScan™ FT3
Manufacturer: FOSS – Denmark
Product Description:
The Foss MilkoScan FT3 Milk Analyzer provides a new and intelligent approach to analyzing dairy and plant-based beverages, including the ability to test a wide range of liquid and semi-solid products with exceptional uptime and highly consistent results.
Adapting to Industry Trends:
The global dairy industry is undergoing transformation as consumers demand more diverse products. In this dynamic environment, successful dairy companies must be smart and agile while delivering safe, high-quality products in a sustainable way.
Low Cost of Ownership:
MilkoScan FT3 is a versatile milk analyzer for dairy producers who need to test a wide range of liquid and semi-solid dairy products with exceptional consistency at a low cost of ownership.
Optimal Solution:
Equipped with advanced connectivity features and improved hardware, the MilkoScan FT3 provides an optimal solution for applications such as raw material testing, milk standardization, process control, and final product quality control.
Smart Flow System for Multi-product Handling
The range of dairy products demanded by consumers has expanded significantly, requiring dairy producers to be flexible in production and product development with analytical solutions capable of handling a wide variety of samples, regardless of future demands.
The MilkoScan FT3 provides accurate testing of liquid and semi-solid dairy products including milk, cream, chocolate milk, yogurt, drinking yogurt, milk and whey protein concentrates, etc. It also offers a dedicated application for high-performance analysis of plant-based beverages (dairy alternatives) such as soy, oat, almond, coconut, rice, and pea.
With its smart flow system, the instrument can recognize and automatically adapt to each sample type, delivering results in as little as 30 seconds, depending on the product. This provides immediate benefits in production by delivering rapid and reliable quality control data across a wide range of sample types.

Intelligent Troubleshooting
MilkoScan FT3 features a unique and advanced self-diagnostic system that continuously monitors the condition of all critical components and provides quick, easy troubleshooting guidance. It automatically notifies the operator when any part requires maintenance and can also be used proactively to resolve issues before they become serious problems.
Peace of Mind with Connected Services
MilkoScan FT3 offers comprehensive digital and on-site services, including remote monitoring and online support. This ensures maximum uptime and minimizes disruptions, allowing you to focus on improving operational efficiency. From day one, your system can be set up and operated with support from FOSS experts.
Tailored MilkoScan FT3 SmartCare™ service solutions deliver superior performance and uptime, ensuring your equipment and operations run at optimal levels while consistently providing accurate and reliable results.

Advanced Diagnostics with 100+ Troubleshooting Guides
A structured diagnostic sequence combined with numerous integrated sensors helps detect potential issues early and provides timely solutions. For example, MilkoScan FT3 can check the critical flow system and suggest corrective actions such as “sample in pipette,” “cuvette filter blockage,” or “check for air in the flow system,” among many others.
