NIR-7000
The KPM Analytics’ NIR-7000 is a continuous online near infrared (NIR) moisture analyzer. It delivers reliable non-contact moisture measurements directly in process environments. This makes it ideal for monitoring and controlling almost any production line. The sensor is well-suited for high-throughput industrial applications. These include wood, building materials, pulp and paper, and other products where moisture content impacts product quality.
As the next-generation analyzer to the Sensortech NIR-6000, the NIR-7000 is accurate to within ±0.1% moisture for many applications.
The NIR-7000 industrial-grade analyzers are designed for direct integration into factory automation. Capturing measurements every four milliseconds, the NIR-7000 can automatically adjust your process to meet moisture measurement targets, reduce energy costs, and improve your bottom line.
Features
- Entry level moisture analyzer that provides reliable and accurate results.
- Improved serviceability, modular architecture, and user-friendly software make it a significant upgrade to its predecessor, the Sensortech NIR-6000.
- Collect real-time moisture measurements in-process.
- Pre-programmed algorithms and calibrations, or custom-built to your specifications using NIR technology.
- Operates in temperatures from -4°F (-20°C) with heating option, up to 185°F (85°C) with cooling option.
- Thermal-cooled detector included.
- Mounting options available to accommodate diverse process locations.
Benefits
- High Accuracy: Measure moisture of many product applications to within ±0.1%.
- Ruggedized Design: The NIR-7000 sensors are contained within a powder-coated sheet metal IP65 housing, built for years of trouble-free operation.
- Simple Implementation: The NIR-7000 can be pre-calibrated based on our database of calibrations.
How It Works
Ruggedized High-Performance Moisture Scanning
The NIR-7000 Series Analyzers are integrated into key areas of a production facility. They continuously monitor incoming raw materials or process control on the production line. Each option integrates seamlessly onto belt, auger & screw conveyors, or bins & chutes to analyze moisture on-line.
The NIR-7000 scanning process is simple but reliable:
- A halogen bulb light source within the unit shines through a rotating wheel at 2000 RPM of different NIR filters that are specific to a measurement parameter.
- The light is reflected off the product and focused onto a cooled sulfide detector.
- The detector’s output is taken by the on-board “smart” circuit board. It is then compared to the internal reference beam and converted into a percent of moisture.
System Components
All NIR-7000 analyzers have a two-year factory warranty for parts and labor. They include powder-coated sheet metal IP65 housing, advanced digital noise filtering hardware, pre-programmed algorithms and calibrations, specialized NIR filtering to application requirements, management software, power, and connection cables. The lamp replacement warranty is three years.
