Innovative Solutions for Rising Costs: KPM Analytics Launches MCT560 Online NIR Sensor Series

June 2024

In response to escalating ingredient prices and the volatile fuel market, industries are increasingly seeking innovative solutions to reduce waste and optimize processing efficiencies. KPM Analytics has risen to this challenge by introducing the MCT560 Online NIR (Near Infrared) Sensor Series, which promises to transform industrial manufacturing and food processing by delivering unparalleled precision and efficiency.

The MCT560 Series comprises three different sensors, designed to cater to the diverse needs of industrial manufacturing and food processing users. This latest generation represents a significant leap forward from its predecessors, notably the MCT460 NIR Sensor Series. Among its many enhancements, the MCT560 boasts an impressive increase in measurement speed, scanning at three times the rate of the MCT460. This advancement allows the system to record an astounding 99 data points per second, enabling precise, real-time analysis and the capability to measure individual products on a high-speed conveyor belt.

In addition to speed, the MCT560 Series offers several other improvements, including advanced usability features, enhanced serviceability, and a larger user interface powered by the latest SensorVu™ software platform. This software also controls the newly introduced NIR-7000 online moisture sensor, further expanding the system's capabilities.

Chris Pike, Senior Global Business Development Director for NIR Products with KPM Analytics, emphasized the benefits of the new series: "Increased data collection speed alone can help companies address soaring costs, but the new MCT560 Series offers so much more." The MCT560 Series is an online, non-contact sensor system based on proven, reliable, and widely used near-infrared (NIR) technology. It seamlessly integrates into existing conveyor systems, providing rapid and continuous analysis for manufacturers and food processing facilities.

The ability to perform online moisture and fat analysis is a game-changer for operators, as it helps increase yield, reduce waste, and ensure consistent product quality. NIR technology enables operators to meet product specifications with remarkable precision, allowing for moisture control within one-tenth of a percent. This level of accuracy not only enhances product quality but also contributes to significant cost savings.

KPM Analytics' MCT560 Online NIR Sensor Series stands out as a crucial tool for industries facing the pressures of rising costs and the need for efficiency. By offering speed, precision, and substantial savings, the MCT560 Series is set to play a pivotal role in the future of industrial manufacturing and food processing.
