Continuous Real-Time Measurement & Control

The Process Sensors MCT460 Series of On-Line Smart NIR Sensors continuously monitor moisture, oil, and other parameters of the materials on a food or industrial process line. With the MCT460 Series, manufacturing operators can monitor raw ingredients and in-line processes, allowing them to maintain consistent product quality, increase yield, and minimize waste.

Features

• Simple to operate, integrate and standardize across multiple lines and locations
• Rugged enclosure withstands harsh conditions
• A proprietary temperature-controlled detector ensures measurement stability
• Fully modular with all components easily replaceable in the field
• Easy to troubleshoot with advanced on-board diagnostics

Benefits

• Improve process control and final quality using accurate measurements of moisture, oil, and other parameters
• Make quick decisions and adjustments to the production line using the analysis data
• Save costs and reduce waste, which improves your company’s bottom line

Applications

Consistent Product Quality, Increased Yield, and Reduced Waste

Applications for On-Line NIR Sensing

The applications of the MCT460 Series range from snack food production to tortillas and cereals, to tobacco, wood, and biofuels. The sensors are capable of a closed-loop control of fryers, ovens, belt speed, paper re-moisturizers, and other processes where moisture variation is controlled. The MCT460 Series can also be easily integrated into existing control systems with industry-standard IO protocols, adding data to maximize process efficiency.
