New Orleans, LA---Pittcon attendees who visit booth # 5028 will be able to examine the new Kett KJT-230, a desktop moisture analyzer designed for use in laboratory and QA/QC applications.  Using near-infrared reflectance (NIR), the KJT-230 measures moisture during virtually any phase of manufacture. 

The easy-to-use KJT-230 provides instant, non-contact, non-destructive analysis of most liquids and solids.  As with all Kett NIR analyzers, the KJT-230 utilizes a "smart sensor" design that integrates calibration and memory storage, measurement display and data output from within the sensor itself.  Industry-specific applications include:  moisture measurement for agricultural processors, chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturers, mineral and raw material uses as well as virtually any liquid or solid manufacturer or producer.

The versatility of the KJT-230 allows users to integrate Kett technology into other laboratory and process control points within their plants, helping to improve product quality, reduce product costs and achieve customer or government specifications.  The unique multiple filter design provides users with fully transferable calibrations.  They can calibrate a single system in one location and then ship fully calibrated and certified sensors to plants worldwide by simply transferring the coefficient data only.

Kett makes the world's  widest array of filter-based near-infrared instrumentation, offering hand-held, desktop and process analyzers.  For additional information, contact Kett at 800/GET-KETT or 714/974-8837, or visit the Kett website at www.kett.com.
