MCT 360T Tobacco Moisture Transmitter

The Next Generation Tobacco Moisture Transmitter

Utilizing Advanced Near Infrared (NIR) Technology provides an Extensive Range of Features

Smart Sensor Technology - The MCT360-T is a true stand-alone NIR transmitter. A single, proprietary circuit board drives the measurement along with all analog and digital communication. Includes 4-20 mA, 0-10 volts, RS-232/485 or network interfaces such as Ethernet, Profibus, etc. There is no requirement for any intermediary electronics.

Optical Path Compensation - The MCT360-T’s dual beam, single detector configuration monitors the source lamp and all other optical elements, ensuring that the calibration is unaffected by long term component age.

Wide Spectrum Referencing - The MCT360-T incorporates a unique reference filter to monitor the tobacco reflectance properties across the complete near infrared (NIR) spectrum. The filter minimizes the influence of tobacco color, blend or type on the Transmitter’s reading.

Measurement Speed - A proven, reliable high speed filter wheel assembly is combined with a state-of-the-art proprietary single detector optical system. This fast sampling technique reduces measurement noise and produces an accurate and repeatable on-line signal.

Product Temperature Monitor - The MCT360-T can be configured to monitor and display tobacco temperature in Fahrenheit or Centigrade. The temperature sensor is contained in the MCT360-T housing. No additional hardware or wiring is required.
