KJT500 Multi Component Online NIR Composition Analyzer

Four Component Online Analysis: Moisture Plus Three More, Continuously

Continuous measurement of four components on a running line without sampling, contact, or product loss. Moisture plus three organic constituents, measured together and delivered to your control system as the product moves.

  • Four Components at Once: Moisture plus three, from fat and protein to film thickness and carbon content.
  • Delivered Complete: Sensor head, processor unit, Tracker software, cables, connectors, and operator training in one package.
  • 99 Calibrations in the Head: Store a curve for every product you run and switch channels without touching the software.
  • Built for the Plant Floor: Aluminum casting, dust proof and drip proof, with integrated air purge and humidity compensation.

Four Components, Measured Continuously, Without Touching the Product

Product specification rarely comes down to one number. The KJT500 measured four components at once on a running line, using near-infrared reflectance so nothing was sampled, contacted, or lost to testing. Moisture plus three constituents, from a single head over the line.

Solving the Practical Problems of Multi Component Measurement

  • Four numbers from four sources: Moisture, fat, protein, film thickness and carbon content are among the constituents measured together from one head rather than assembled from separate tests.
  • Lab turnaround that arrives too late: Results are continuous and immediate, so an out of spec trend is visible while the run is still correctable.
  • Sampling that costs product: Measurement is non contact and non destructive, so nothing is removed from the batch or altered by testing.
  • Ambient conditions that move the reading: Temperature compensation, humidity compensation from a sensor built into the air purge hood, and an offset function for raw material shifts.

Built for Production Line Duty

The head measures from 350 mm above the surface across a 50 mm spot and responds in approximately two seconds. It stores 99 analytical curves fitted from your own reference values, and drives control loops directly through analog output. The aluminum casting is dust proof and drip proof, the air purge hood keeps the optical window clear, and the tungsten lamp and filter motor are both rated at 20,000 hours. Kett Tracker on the connected PC provides a relational database with real time graphing, and additional heads could be added up to four per processor board.

Each system shipped with Kett’s One Year Total Care Warranty covering parts, labor, and specification compliance. Maintenance Agreements are available.

Service and Replacement

The KJT500 is no longer manufactured. The sensor head was also sold on its own as the KJT500SH.
