Welcome to Kett - Tomorrow's Testing Today
Instant, non-contact measurement of moisture, water activity, fat, protein, ash, and other organic components in liquids and solids. Handheld, desktop, and online models for laboratory and production environments.
Why manufacturers and laboratories choose Kett NIR analyzers for composition testing.
Get results in seconds, not minutes. Both online and handheld models deliver real-time composition data for immediate process decisions.
No sample contamination. Samples can be reused for additional assays, reducing waste and preserving material integrity.
Measure moisture, fat, protein, ash, cellulose, and other organic compounds simultaneously in a single test.
Calibrations and calibration points are stored within the analyzer, providing tremendous versatility for diverse applications.
Flexible platform measures both liquid and solid samples across a wide range of materials and production environments.
Specialized models measure coating weight and film thickness for converting, packaging, and coating operations.
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 a 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.

The unique FM300 Micro Moisture Analyzer provides accurate moisture analysis as low as two parts per million (ppm). The selective filtering mechanism separates water molecules from other volatiles providing a direct method of measuring water content in complex products – – without the reagents needed for a Karl Fischer Test.
The liquid or solid sample is placed in a sample tray. One button is pushed to start the automatic test. The sample is weighed by the integrated micro-balance. The sample is then moved into a sealed chamber where heat is applied. The volatiles are driven from the sample. A special carbon filter strips the volatiles while allowing the moisture molecules to be transmitted. The inert carrier gas stream carries these moisture molecules to a second chamber where they are absorbed in a molecular sieve cell. This cell is continuously weighed by the balance. As the moisture is absorbed, the weight increases. This increase in weight (Gain on Drying) is compared with the original mass to provide a direct moisture percentage. Tests are fast, accurate, and automatic.
