Welcome to Kett - Tomorrow's Testing Today
Measure moisture content instantly in solids, liquids and slurries — without touching or altering the sample. Desktop, online, in-line and handheld models serve laboratory, production line and field applications.
Results appear in seconds with no sample preparation required. Calibrations are stored in each instrument, so every model operates as a standalone smart sensor ready to measure out of the box.
Why manufacturers and laboratories choose NIR for instant moisture measurement.
Get results in seconds, not minutes. All models deliver real-time moisture readings, whether you are testing samples on a desktop or monitoring a moving production line.
The sensor never touches the sample, so there is no contamination. Samples remain intact and can be reused for additional assays, reducing waste and preserving material integrity.
Choose desktop models for the laboratory or at-line, handheld units for the field, or online and in-line sensors for continuous production monitoring. One measurement technology across every environment.
Every calibration is stored inside the instrument. No external computer or keypad is needed to operate — just power on and measure. This simplifies installation, reduces maintenance and makes redeployment easy.
Measure liquids, solids and slurries on the same platform. From powders and granules to pastes and coatings, one instrument family handles diverse sample types without hardware changes.
Calibration software, data tracking tools and product training are all included. You start collecting meaningful measurement data from day one — no extra purchases or third-party software required.
A near-infrared light source shines onto the sample surface. The light energy at specific wavelengths excites O-H bonds in water molecules, causing them to vibrate and stretch. This vibration absorbs energy from the light — the higher the moisture content, the more light is absorbed. The analyzer measures the absorbed energy and calculates the moisture value instantly. Each calibration is built against your primary reference method, so NIR results are directly traceable to the oven-dry or loss-on-drying values your team already trusts.
Handheld models work like a flashlight pointed at any surface — point the sensor and read the moisture value instantly. No contact, no sample preparation. Operators use them to spot-check incoming materials, verify process conditions or troubleshoot wet spots on a production line without stopping the process.
Online and in-line sensors work the same way — continuously and automatically. Online sensors measure on open processes like belt conveyors. In-line sensors are installed inside enclosed systems such as pneumatic lines, mixers, extruders and dryers. There is no button to press. The sensor reports real-time moisture values as product moves through the process.
With desktop analyzers, the operator places the sample on the turntable and presses Measure. The turntable rotates while the sensor scans the sample, calculates the average value and stops automatically — displaying final results in seconds.
NIR moisture meters are used wherever fast, non-destructive moisture measurement improves product quality or process efficiency.
Monitor moisture and water activity in incoming ingredients, in-process batches and finished goods. Real-time, non-destructive water activity measurement ensures shelf-life stability from receiving through packaging.
Verify moisture in powders, granules and tablets during spray drying, fluid-bed drying and final product release. Supports FDA-validated processes and procedures.
Measure moisture in resins, polymers and chemical intermediates. Instant readings at the dryer outlet optimize energy use and increase production throughput.
Measure moisture in coatings, adhesives and substrates during converting. Correct moisture levels ensure bond strength, print quality and package integrity.
Measure moisture in pulp, paper and board at the reel or in the lab. Online and handheld models detect wet streaks and uneven drying across the moving web in real time — catching problems before they reach the winder.
Fast sample turnaround for R&D and QC moisture testing across any material type. Monitor humidification and drying experiments in real time without altering the sample.
Install online and in-line sensors for continuous process monitoring or use desktop units for at-line QC checks. Instant results support real-time production decisions and reduce off-spec output.
Measure moisture in grain, seed, feed and soil at the point of harvest, receiving or processing. Handheld, desktop, online and in-line models work on the combine, at the elevator or in the lab.
Three form factors for laboratory, field and online moisture measurement. In-line models for enclosed processes are also available — view all products for the full lineup.
Benchtop instrument for laboratory and at-line moisture testing. Place the sample in the measurement area, press start and get results in seconds. Resolution to 0.0001% for demanding QC and R&D applications.
Continuous moisture monitoring on conveyors, dryers and coating lines. Mounts above the process and measures without contact. Output connects to your control system for closed-loop automation. Attach to scanning frames for cross-web analysis.
Portable, lab-quality moisture readings anywhere — production floor, warehouse, field or receiving dock. Measures stationary and moving samples. Resolution to 0.01% (100 ppm) with internal memory for download and reporting.
Our engineers can help you select the right NIR instrument for your application, materials and production environment.
