NanoNord Tveskaeg Benchtop Pump: Accurate Sodium and Chloride Measurement in Food Industry

NanoNord is a pioneering company specializing in advanced Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) technology solutions for the food and beverage industry. With a focus on precision, efficiency, and eco-friendliness, NanoNord's innovations enable businesses to achieve superior accuracy in measuring sodium and chloride content without harmful chemicals.

NanoNord's Tveskaeg G3 Benchtop Pump, an NMR-based sodium and chloride analyser designed for food manufacturers seeking chemical-free measurement solutions on the factory floor.

The system applies Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) technology to measure sodium directly, eliminating the need for silver nitrate titration and other chemical reagents traditionally used in laboratory analysis. 
 

Factory-floor sodium measurement without chemicals

Unlike conventional titration methods that require laboratory conditions and reagent handling, the Tveskaeg G3 operates without added chemicals and can be used directly in production environments. The analyser is designed for snack products, sauces, liquids and other processed foods where sodium control is critical for quality, regulatory compliance and formulation consistency. 
 

Direct sodium detection using NMR

The system measures sodium directly rather than calculating chloride content through chemical reaction. According to NanoNord, this approach reduces potential variability associated with reagent-based testing and matrix effects. NMR technology also enables the measurement of multiple isotopes within a single sample, supporting both sodium and chloride analysis in one process. 
 

Operational efficiency and reduced downtime

Real-time measurement allows manufacturers to make immediate production adjustments, reducing batch deviations and minimizing downtime. The absence of chemical reagents removes handling risks and reduces consumable costs. The benchtop system is designed for simplified sample preparation and does not require traditional calibration procedures associated with titration methods. 
 

Growing demand for in-line and sustainable quality control

Food manufacturers are facing increasing pressure to manage sodium levels due to reformulation initiatives, labeling requirements and sustainability targets. Chemical-free analytical systems can support environmental and workplace safety objectives while improving quality control responsiveness.

NanoNord reports that its NMR technology is used by several snack manufacturers, including Intersnack, Kettle, Shearers and Tayto, for sodium analysis in snack production. 

The introduction of the Tveskaeg G3 reflects a broader industry shift toward automated, factory-integrated quality control systems aimed at improving accuracy, efficiency and sustainability in food manufacturing.
