How It Works

Proven Technology for Washdown Food Applications

The MCT469-SF NIR analyzers are integrated into key areas of a production process to continuously monitor incoming raw materials or control processes on the production line. Each option is designed to integrate seamlessly over belt conveyors, auger/screw conveyors, or bins & chutes to analyze moisture, oil, and other on-line measurements.

The MCT469-SF scanning process is simple but reliable:

  1. Light from the lamp is directed through a rotating wheel at 2000rpm containing NIR filters selected for the application
  2. NIR light is directed onto the product being measured
  3. The light reflected off the product is captured by a mirror within the unit and focused onto a Peltier Cooled lead sulfide detector.
  4. The detector’s output is taken by the on-board “smart” circuit board and compares to the internal reference beam. This is then converted into a percent of moisture, oil, and other parameters.

Sanitary Design

The MCT469-SF conforms to an IP69 rating, which is the accepted standard for equipment used in food production. There are no welds on the sensor housing design, eliminating any opportunity for food contamination, making it ideal for Clean-in-Place (CIP) applications.

The MCT469-SF is also impenetrable to high-pressure cleaning or steam jets, making it a completely wash-down solution for measuring moisture, oil, and other food quality parameters.

Installation Options

Over-Belt Conveyor

MCT469-SF sensors are mounted 8-18 inches above the conveyor, ideally with continuous product flow.

Augers & Screw Conveyors

Installing the MCT469-SF on top of augers and screw conveyors allows for a measurement of the flow of material being conveyed by the flights of a screw. The MCT469-SF is installed offset to the side of the central shaft while the influence of the flights passing the unit are eliminated by the instrument’s software.

Bins and Chutes

Sight glass windows, such as Sapphire can be used for continuous flow of products against the window.
