Product Overview
Continuous Moisture Measurement Without Sampling Delay
The MS-580 uses four groups of near-infrared LED wavelengths to measure reflected spectral information from the material surface.
An application-specific calibration model converts the optical response into continuous moisture values, helping reduce dependence on periodic laboratory sampling.
The integrated analyzer supports local display, parameter setting and process-data transmission.
Suitable Process Media
Suitable for selected:
Detergent powders
Tobacco materials
Paper, board and wood products
Grain and starch materials
Sinter and industrial powders
Final suitability depends on material characteristics, surface condition, moisture range, measurement distance and calibration data.
Measurement Principle
Near-infrared LED light illuminates the material surface. Moisture absorbs selected wavelengths, and the reflected spectral response is collected by the optical detector. An application-specific mathematical model converts the measured response into a continuous moisture value. The MS-580 measures surface or near-surface moisture; it does not measure the complete internal moisture distribution of thick material layers.
Key Advantages
2、 Multi-Spectrum LED Technology
Uses four groups of NIR LED wavelengths without rotating filters or moving optical components, reducing mechanical wear and routine maintenance.
3、 Stable Industrial Measurement
Signal processing and application-specific calibration help reduce the influence of material colour, ambient light and surface variation.
4、 Flexible Installation and Integration
Supports standard and insertion-mounted configurations, dual analog outputs, RS232/RS485 communication, external control and air purging.
