Suitable for on-line tobacco moisture analysis\u00a0in all\u00a0tobacco leaf and primary processing\u00a0applications, including leaf processing, expanded, cut, and reconstituted tobacco,\u00a0MoistTech&#8217;s\u00a0828 model NIR analyser offers unmatched performance and accuracy over all tobacco process moisture ranges.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Providing continuous, reliable readings, the NIR technology&nbsp;features&nbsp;instant, non-contact moisture measurement for tobacco without sample destruction, allowing installation above tobacco production lines without interfering with processing. The 828 model is unaffected by differences in particle size, material height, and color, making it the most&nbsp;accurate&nbsp;tobacco sensor on the market. It can also measure a variety of other parameters, including nicotine levels, sugar content, and tobacco temperature.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The\u00a0MoistTech\u00a0828\u00a0sensor features extremely high accuracy, measuring tobacco moisture to within \u00b10.1% in low moisture and \u00b10.25% in high moisture applications. With a wide moisture range from 0 to 65%, it is suitable for tobacco processes ranging from leaf to finished product.\u00a0It is ideal for use with\u00a0before and after dryers, conditioning cylinders, cutters, toaster, reconstituted lines, belt conveyors, and screw and drag conveyors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MoistTech&#8217;s&nbsp;model&nbsp;828 features continuous measurement, delivering thousands of readings per second for real-time tobacco process control. Pre-calibrated at the factory, it offers immediate use in tobacco processing without on-site adjustments.&nbsp;With its&nbsp;no-drift&nbsp;capabilities, the&nbsp;828 tobacco&nbsp;sensor&nbsp;maintains&nbsp;accuracy over time without recalibration, ensuring consistent tobacco quality. It stores up to&nbsp;50&nbsp;individual&nbsp;product calibrations for quick adjustments in different tobacco processes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sensor features a rugged design&nbsp;that withstands harsh tobacco factory environments, including dust and steam. It&nbsp;is equipped with&nbsp;RS232, Ethernet, and 4-20mA outputs for integration with tobacco processing control systems. Upgrades&nbsp;are&nbsp;available for Ethernet IP and Profibus &amp;&nbsp;Profinet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MoistTech\u00a0Corp.&#8217;s\u00a0on-line\u00a0near infrared (NIR) model\u00a0828\u00a0tobacco\u00a0sensor enables users to\u00a0optimise\u00a0their on-line process to dramatically improve product quality, providing both energy savings and potential increased productivity with lower material losses.
