MCT460 Industrial Online NIR Moisture & Coat Weight Sensor

The MCT460 NIR Analyzer from KPM Analytics is a high-performance, non-contact sensor designed for continuous, real-time measurement of moisture, oil, coat weight, film thickness, and product temperature in industrial manufacturing environments. Engineered for precision and durability, the MCT460 helps operators maintain consistent product quality, maximize yield, and minimize waste across a wide range of applications.

Key Features

• Exceptional Accuracy: Measures moisture to within ±0.1% and fats/oils to ±0.2%, with simultaneous analysis of up to three NIR constituents.
• Fast Response: Captures up to 33 readings per second, enabling rapid process adjustments.
• Rugged Design: Powder-coated cast aluminum enclosure with IP-rated protection for harsh environments.
• Temperature-Controlled Detector: Proprietary design ensures stable readings even under fluctuating conditions.
• Modular & Serviceable: All components are field-replaceable, with advanced diagnostics for easy troubleshooting.

Installation Versatility

• Over-Belt Conveyors: Mounted 200–450 mm above product flow for continuous monitoring.
• Augers & Screw Conveyors: Offset installation avoids interference from screw flights.
