KPM Analytics launches MCT700 NIR sensors

KPM Analytics, a global leader in scientific instrumentation, announced the launch of its new MCT700 Series NIR (near infrared) sensors designed for in-line food processing quality control. The series includes three models: the MCT790, which adds product color measurement, and the MCT700 and MCT750, which measure moisture, fat/oil, and product temperature without color. These non-contact sensors are installed over conveyors, augers, and chutes, and are suitable for monitoring baked and fried snacks, doughs, crackers, breakfast cereals, and food ingredients. The sensors provide real-time data for manual or automatic adjustment of production equipment, reducing waste and improving productivity. They feature high-speed measurement up to 100 readings per second, rugged IP67/IP69K-rated housings, and modular components for easy field replacement. The sensors support the trend toward in-line, real-time monitoring in food processing, replacing periodic sampling. The MCT700 Series sensors are available for order immediately. Chris Pike, Senior Director of Product Management at KPM Analytics, emphasized that continuous measurement enables rapid response to production issues, supporting business objectives of increasing productivity and decreasing waste.
