Product Overview

The MCT 600 Bench Top NIR Tester is a simple and reliable Near Infrared Reflection Analyzer for a wide range of industrial applications and manufacturing processes.

Designed for high speed and accurate analysis of up to three constituents simultaneously, the MCT 600 provides precise measurement of moisture, fats, oils, proteins, sugars, nicotine and other constituents, in virtually all types of powders, flakes and leaves. These include:

  • Moisture and oil in the Food Industry (cookies, crackers, cereals) and the Snack Food Industry (potato chips, corn chips, baked and fried snacks)
  • Moisture, nicotine and sugars in the Tobacco Industry (any stage of
    tobacco processing with all types of tobacco applications)
  • Moisture in the Panel Board Industry (OSB, particle board, fiberboard,
    MDF)
  • Moisture in powders, granulations, rubber crumb, resins, detergents,
    et. al., in widely diverse industry applications

Operating Principle

The MCT 600 is operator friendly and very simple to use. Easy to follow software guides users through calibration and sample testing. Samples, straight from the production line, are placed in the sample dish and a simple touch of the button initiates the test. In less than 10 seconds, the constituent measurements are displayed and the unit becomes ready for additional samples.

The MCT 600 can be operated with a PC (Windows software) or as a stand alone device.
