FIWE Advance Automated Fiber Analyzer
The fully automated analyzer for crude and detergent fiber determination according to official reference methods requiring minimum operator time with unique user interface and cloud connectivity.
Fully Automatic Crude and Detergent Fiber Analyzer at Low Price
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 and filtration steps guaranteeing consistency for Crude Fiber with Weende Method and Detergent Fiber for fiber fraction with Van Soest Method NDF, ADF and ADL.
Compliance and consistency
FIWE Advance produces accurate results that always comply with official ISO and AOAC methods for both Crude Fiber and Detergent Fiber.
In addition, the FIWE Advance method using crucibles avoids the loss of fibre due to the transfer of the sample which remains in the crucible for the duration of the analytical procedure.
The sample in fact remains inside the crucibles during the extraction, digestion, washing and filtration phases, and also during weighing and finally for drying and ashing eliminating the risks of error.
Load the samples and go
FIWE Advance saves you valuable time by reducing costs and improving your lab’s productivity.
FIWE Advance requires only 2 minutes of operator time compared to more than 50 minutes/operator of a semi-automatic solution.
You will no longer need to preheat and pour chemicals into the columns, manage the temperature for proper boiling, or make sure the filtration is successful.
With FIWE Advance all these operations are automatic and thanks to the cloud connection you are always informed with immediate notifications.
Smart and easy-to-use
With FIWE Advance, fiber analysis becomes easy and convenient for your laboratory. The 7-inch touchscreen display and the User Interface developed by VELP make operations simple and smart.
The FIWE Advance comes with pre-installed methods developed by VELP in accordance with official methods. You can create custom methods and select your favorites for maximum convenience and to speed-up your daily work.
FIWE Advance has 3 USB ports and allows you to connect VELP barcode readers to facilitate data insertion and to avoid transcription errors.
Connecting your balance will make data transfer and calculation of results quick and easy.

FIWE Fiber Analyzers
Fiber Analyzers that use pre-heated reagents for fiber analysis according to Weende, Van Soest and other official methods..
Crude Fiber, Neutral & Acid Detergent Fiber
FIWE 3 and FIWE 6 are fiber analyzers suitable for raw fiber extraction, conventionally known as an indigestible residue. Rapid analysis, reliable results and high reproducibility are some of the most relevant benefits of these units which are ideal for the following applications:
– the Weende method, the oldest analytical procedure still in use today, in which fiber concentration is measured as crude fiber (CF)
– the Neutral Detergent Fiber (NDF), a method developed by Van Soest, now the most common measure of fiber used for animal feed analysis
– Acid Detergent Fiber (ADF), a portion of the plant fiber and includes cellulose, lignin and variable amounts of xylans.
– Acid Detergent Lignin (ADL) determination and Wijkstrom technique, a modification of the Weende method
High Reliability, Single or Multiple Extractions
Perform single or multiple extractions including boiling, rinsing and filtration steps with the maximum reproducibility available.
No sample transfer prevents any possible sample loss, as crucibles can also be used as sample vessels during weighing, drying and washing.
Pre-heat the reagents with RC2 hot plate (included), and pour them directly into the system.
No transfer and sample loss
In order to prepare the sample for fiber analysis, COEX ensures rapid fat extraction directly into the same glass crucibles used by the FIWE series.
The crucible, containing the defatted sample, is transferred directly to the FIWE analyzer, eliminating possible errors due to sample transfer.

Crucible
TIPS FOR CRUCIBLE TREATMENT IN A MUFFLE FURNACE
The heating and cooling of glass crucibles for determining ash content requires special care in order to prevent breakages. Thermal shock can lead to breakage, particularly in stressed areas such as the junction between the crucible body and the filter disk. A temperature of 550 °C corresponds to the beginning of glass’s plastic state and should not be exceeded.
COEX Cold Extractor
Cold extractor that performs rapid fat extraction on feed samples directly in the FIWE Advance and FIWE glass crucibles.
The COEX is used to perform preliminary defatting of the sample prior to fiber determination with FIWE and FIWE Advance. The COEX guarantee maximum reliability and is a mandatory step for all feed sample with high fat content.
The efficient pump aspirates and removes the fatty component that will be collected in a dedicated waste tank/bottle.
the COEX is easy to use and convenient, all the reagents can be added through the same channel.
Avoid sample loss and transfers
The COEX ensures rapid fat extraction directly into the same glass crucibles used by the FIWE and FIWE Advance whenever the fat content of feed sample is high and need to be reduce to less than 1%.
The crucible containing the defatted sample is transferred directly to the FIWE and FIWE Advance analyzer eliminating possible errors due to sample transfer.
