KJT500SH Online NIR Composition Sensor Head

Composition Sensor Head: Four Component Measurement, Sold On Its Own

The measurement head from the KJT500 system, available separately for installations that already had a processor unit or needed an additional measurement point on an existing line.

  • Four Components at Once: Moisture plus three, from fat and protein to film thickness and carbon content.
  • Complete in the Head: Calibrations, calculation, and display all live in the sensor, so it runs with or without a PC.
  • Adds to an Existing System: Connects to a processor board alongside other heads, up to four per board.
  • Built for the Plant Floor: Aluminum casting, dust proof and drip proof, with integrated air purge and humidity compensation.

Description

The Composition Head, Available On Its Own

Not every installation needed a complete system. The KJT500SH was the KJT500 sensor head sold separately, for plants that already had a processor unit running and wanted to add a measurement point, or that were integrating the head directly into their own control architecture.

Solving the Practical Problems of Expanding a Line

  • A second measurement point: Connects to an existing processor board alongside other heads, up to four per board, without replacing the system already in place.
  • Control systems that do not need a PC: Calibrations and calculation live in the head, so it can drive a control loop directly through analog output and display at the line on its own LED.
  • Four constituents, one sensor: Moisture plus three organic components from a single reading rather than separate instruments.
  • Ambient conditions that move the reading: Temperature compensation, humidity compensation from a sensor built into the air purge hood, and an offset function for raw material shifts.

Built for Production Line Duty

The head measures from 350 mm above the surface across a 50 mm spot and responds in approximately two seconds. It stores 99 analytical curves fitted from your own reference values. The aluminum casting is dust proof and drip proof, the air purge hood keeps the optical window clear, and the tungsten lamp and filter motor are both rated at 20,000 hours and field replaceable.

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 KJT500SH is no longer manufactured. It was the sensor head from the KJT500 system, ordered separately.

Need multi component analysis on your process line today? The KJT700 Instant Online Composition Meter is the current online composition platform, measuring moisture alongside additional organic constituents in a supported system.
