MS-580 Online NIR Moisture Analyzer

MS-580 Series Online NIR Moisture Analyzer

Product Introduction

The MS-580 provides continuous, non-contact surface moisture measurement using multi-spectrum LED near-infrared technology. Designed for conveyors, hoppers, silos and selected process equipment, it provides real-time moisture data for production monitoring and quality control.

Core Information

Detection Target	Typical Applications
Moisture	Conveyor Belts · Material Transfer Points · Hoppers · Silos · Selected Pipelines · Enclosed Process Equipment

Product Overview

Overview

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.

Application Scope

Suitable for selected:
Detergent powders
Tobacco materials
Paper, board and wood products
Grain and starch materials
Sinter and industrial powders

Detection Principles

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

Non-Contact Measurement： Measures moisture without direct optical contact, reducing sensor wear and supporting continuous measurement of moving materials.

Multi-Spectrum LED Technology：Uses four groups of NIR LED wavelengths without rotating filters or moving optical components, reducing mechanical wear and routine maintenance.

Stable Industrial Measurement：Signal processing and application-specific calibration help reduce the influence of material colour, ambient light and surface variation.

Flexible Installation and Integration：Supports standard and insertion-mounted configurations, dual analog outputs, RS232/RS485 communication, external control and air purging.
