KJT30S High Moisture Online NIR Moisture Meter

High Moisture Online NIR Moisture Meter: Smart Head Design for Wet Product

The high moisture configuration of Kett’s most compact online system. Same single head design mounted over the line, calibrated for product running at moisture levels where standard online sensors lose resolution.

  • Built for Wet Product: Covers roughly 50 percent moisture and above, where standard range online sensors are least useful.
  • Instrument in a Single Head: No controller box and no rack space. The head mounts on four bolts and reads directly.
  • Reads Without Touching: Measures from 170 mm above the line, so wet or fragile product is never disturbed.
  • Expandable to 30 Points: Network up to 30 heads and add measurement points as the process grows.

Description

Online Moisture Measurement Where the Product Runs Wet

Slurries, washed product, and material coming straight off a wet process sit at moisture levels that most online sensors were never calibrated to handle. The KJT30S is the high moisture configuration of Kett’s compact online head, set up for product running around 50 percent and above.

Solving the Practical Problems of Wet Line Measurement

  • Product above the standard range: Calibration covers roughly 50 percent moisture and higher, so readings stay useful where a standard range sensor flattens out.
  • No room for a controller: The entire measurement point is one head on four M6 bolts. No enclosure, no rack space, no cabinet.
  • Product you cannot touch or stop: Measurement happens from 170 mm above the surface across a 33 mm spot, with no contact and no sampling.
  • Dust, heat, and drift: Integral air purge keeps the window clear, automatic temperature compensation holds the reading steady, and drift stays under 0.01 percent.

Built for Process Lines That Grow

A single head handles 15 calibration channels, each built by regression against your own reference values, with an offset correction available when line conditions shift. Up to 30 heads network together so additional measurement points are added without redesigning the system, and Kett Tracker software on a connected PC handles calibration, trending, alarms, and logging. Analog output drives your existing control system directly. The tungsten lamp and filter wheel are both field replaceable, with lamp life rated at 20,000 hours.

Each unit shipped with Kett’s One Year Total Care Warranty covering parts, labor, and specification compliance. Maintenance Agreements are available.

Service and Replacement

The KJT30S is no longer manufactured. It was the high moisture version of the KJT30, identical in every respect except calibrated range.
