For moisture or dry substance determination of powders, granulates and solids, the NIR measurement technique is often the most practical method for fast analysis. This technique is based on the principle that a specific wavelength of infrared light is absorbed by water. Within seconds our laboratory and at-line instruments determine the moisture percentage of a product. Our on-line sensors measure directly real-time continuously and makes direct process control possible.
In addition to moisture measurement, this technique is also capable of measuring for example fat/oil and protein levels in a product. The most common applications are found in the food, wood, paper, pharmaceutical and chemical industries, but in many other industries we have solutions when it comes to moisture measurement and control.
Our systems are based on two different NIR techniques. The first one is a filter based technique where a pre-defined set of NIR filters are used to measure at fixed wavelengths. The second technique is a full spectrum measurement. We are able to advise which technique and instrument is the best solution for your application.
For complete profile measurements over the width of a web we use a scanning system. The scanning system can carry sensors to measure moisture, base weight, ash, colour, opacity and formation.
