(KPM Analytics: Westborough, MA) -- Food processors are striving for zero defects by measuring as many quality parameters as possible in various stages of production. To assist processors in meeting this goal, KPM Analytics offers its new MCT700 Series NIR (near infrared) sensors, which provide continuous in-line measurement of moisture, fat/oil, color, and product temperature.

Installed over conveyors, augers, and chutes, the noncontact sensors are suitable for monitoring baked and fried snacks, doughs, crackers, breakfast cereals, food ingredients, and more.

MCT790 NIR sensor, now with product color measurement

The MCT790 NIR sensor provides precise measurements of moisture, fat/oil, product temperature, and now product color. In addition to ensuring that products consistently meet quality standards, the MCT790 sensor provides real-time data for manual or automatic adjustment of production equipment like ovens and sprayers. This reduces costly waste and improves productivity.
