MCA Moisture Content Analyser
MCA moisture content analyser uses 3 wavelengths of near infrared light to determine the moisture content of substances.The NIR light is reflected through a fibre optic cable (up to 10m long).This allows for the accurate measurement of moisture content at sites with temperatures up to 190 °C.
The Moisture Content Analyser is a non-contact instrument for measuring moisture in real time.
It detects moisture content by reflecting near infrared light, via a fibre optic sensor cable, and provides a higher resolution when compared with conventional moisture meters owing to this increased light energy and a superior filtering system.
Using a “three-band” system, the MCA1410 further minimises measuring errors by incorporating an automatic correction of the background reflection.
This high-speed technique enables on-line measurement of moisture in machines or on production lines and is ideal for measuring moisture in a wide range of materials including paper, packaging board, lumber chip, film, non-wovens, membranes, powders, tablets, sugar, bread crumbs, clay, cement, sand, ceramic and gypsum board.
