Stainless steel NIR moisture gauge for the food industry
MCT466-SF
316 stainless steel enclosure
compact and easy to install
high performance
The MCT466-SF is a compact reliable gauge for accurately determining the moisture, oil and fat content of foodstuffs.
It is easily installed, and simple to use, normally located over a conveying system. The MCT466-SF is fully modular, and all components can quickly be replaced in the field.
Near infrared (NIR) light is directed onto the product. The light reflected off the product is captured by a mirror, and focused onto the lead sulphide detector, where the microvolt output is converted into percent moisture or percent oil.
