Kett introduces the KJT-330, a near-infrared moisture meter for use on-line in production facilities. This unit provides instantaneous moisture measurement of both solid and liquid samples, eliminating the time-consuming moisture determination and batch waste associated with conventional measurement technologies. Using high-speed sampling and integrated humidity and temperature compensation, Kett NIR meters are not affected by color or texture variations in the product. The KJT-330 is designed to assist in many aspects of a company's automated processes, providing significant cost reductions through improved process control.

Using near-infrared light to measure the reflectance/absorbance of water in a sample, measurements can be taken without sample preparation or damage. The sensor-head is mounted above the production line, and the wet based moisture content is displayed on the control unit.

"The KJT-330 offers unsurpassed flexibility and reliability in moisture measurement to any aspect of a company's operations," said John Bogart, Sales Manager for Kett U.S.. "The savings in both time and product resulting from the operation of this unit allow for the most effective and efficient use of resources in process monitoring."

The KJT-330 is accurate to 0.1% and can measure moisture contents from 0.1-100%. Menu- driven operations provide a simple measurement procedure. Data can be down-loaded to a PC, lap-top computer, or printer. Closed-loop process monitoring and adjustment can be achieved when connected to a central process controller.

Other models available include the KJT-100 handheld model, and the KJT-200 laboratory model. All Kett moisture meters are backed by a one-year manufacturer's warranty.

Forty years of research and development have made Kett a worldwide industry leader in the manufacturing of test equipment. Other products available include a full line of moisture determination balances, wood and agricultural moisture meters, coating thickness testers, and metal detectors.
