Perten presents the DA 7440 over-belt sensor for continuous measurement of moisture, nicotine, sugars, and more in tobacco, with no re-calibration between batches.
The DA 7440 diode array based NIR sensor provides significant advantages to older filter technology sensors. Where filter technology sensors use only 4 to 6 wavelengths to measure the product, the diode array technology of DA 7440 produces a continuous spectrum. This reveals important information about the tobacco allowing moisture and oven volatiles testing with no re-calibration between batches. It also enables accurate measurement of additional parameters including nicotine and sugars.
The DA 7440 is accurate and saves money by significantly reducing labor and lab analyses as no adjustments are needed. It allows processors to tighten specifications for nicotine and sugar and avoid recalls.
The DA 7440 readily integrates with plant control systems using Profibus and other protocols. It comes with a 12” IP65 touch screen for at-line display of results and trend charts, Wi-Fi communication capability and much more.
