Near-Infrared Organic Composition Analyzers
Key Benefits
Instant Measurement - both online, handheld and desktop instrumentsNon-Contact - handheld and online models - no contamination
Non-Destructive - all models - samples can be used for additional assays
A Near-Infrared Light Source is reflected off 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. 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 | Product Optimization and consistency | Instantly and simultaneously measure moisture, fat, oil, protein, ash, sugar, and fiber content - online and nearline |
| Pulp/Paper | Coatweight and Thickness | Continuously analyze the web for optimal coatweight and thickness - without contact or sample alteration. |
| Chemicals | Various Process Points | Instant analysis optimizes reaction efficiency and production throughput. |
| Pharmaceuticals | Fluid-bed and Spray Dryers | On-line measurement of moisture and residual solvent improves granulation consistency and ensures content uniformity. |
| Polymer Films | Film Thickness and Coatings | Online/inline measurement of the thickness and/or film coating by using a single sensor vs. the ratio method needed by beta backscatter gauges. |
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.
The Desktop model of the KJT270F (above). In laboratory and near-line applications the KJT270 averages heterogeneous samples and provides
the ultimate in accurate composition measurements on any liquid or solid.
