Near-Infrared Moisture Meters
KEY BENEFITS
- Instant Measurement – both online, handheld and desktop instruments
- Non-Contact – handheld and online models – no contamination
- Non-Destructive – all models – samples can be used for additional assays
- Moisture meter can be used for both liquids and solids
Near-Infrared Moisture Meter
A Near-Infrared Light Source is reflected off of the liquid or solid sample. The light resonates with the appropriate molecule(s) and a portion of the light is absorbed. The higher the measured component, the higher the amount of absorbed light. After calibration, the composition values can be instantly measured without sample preparation. Multiple organic components are measured in single test.
Calibrations and calibration points are stored within the analyzers, providing tremendous versatility for the diversified manufacturer. Moisture, protein, fat, cellulose and other organic compounds can be measured.

| INDUSTRY | APPLICATION | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|---|
| Food | Buying and Receiving | Ensure that suppliers are providing the product required for shelf-life stability (acceptable water activity) and profitability. |
| Pulp/Paper | Dryer Cans | Analyze the web for wet streaks and uneven drying – without contact or sample alteration. |
| Chemicals | Tunnel Dryers | Instant analysis optimizes dryer efficiency and production throughput. |
| Pharmaceuticals | Fluid-bed and Spray Dryers | On-line and in-line moisture measurement improves granulation consistency. |
| Polymer Films | Process Control Optimization | Online/inline measurement of the moisture content substantially reduces energy used in the process while ensuring appropriate low levels of moisture are achieved. |
KJT270F – Inline Instant Composition Analyzer
This unique instrument will operate in process mixers, blenders, ovens, fluid and spray dryers, or pneumatic and vacuum transfer lines to provide simultaneous compositional measurements. Can be put in CIP and explosion-proof environments.
Smart sensor design provides for use without need for any PC or controller interface. Minimal maintenance ensures years of life – even in very stressful process environments.
– non-destructive, NIR – Kett
KJT270 -Desktop Instant Composition Analyzer
The Desktop model of the KJT270F (above). In laboratory and near-line applications the KJT270 automatically averages heterogeneous samples and provides the ultimate in accurate composition measurements on any liquid or solid.
The standard by which other desktop analyzers are compared, the KJT270 provides test results as good as your existing lab instruments, without the hassle of chemicals, product preparation or wasted time.
