The 868 NIR (Near Infrared) Moisture Sensor is MoistTech’s at-line moisture sensor with a large rotating sampling dish for the rapid moisture analysis of raw and non- homogenous materials. Precision filters and algorithms have been incorporated into the sensor to optimize performance under the demanding conditions in the manufacturing industry. The 868 Sensor incorporates MoistTech’s well-proven IR-3000 optics and electronics providing superb accuracy, and resolution of any similar technology gauge. Unsurpassed in performance, stability, reliability, maintainability and cost of ownership the 868 Sensor is the answer to controlling moisture in your product.
Ideal for laboratories or near processing lines MoistTech’s 868 Sensor features a removable, rotating sampling dish, available in a variety of sizes that was designed for rapid moisture determination of non-homogeneous products and raw materials. Due to the large sample size, the 868 has greater accuracy than any other laboratory NIR sensor on the market within.01% and as fast as 3 seconds.
With the 868 Sensor you will dramatically improve product quality, providing both energy savings and potential increased productivity with lower material losses. Additionally, it has a one-time calibration, maintenance free, drift free optical design that allows operating personnel to confidently make immediate process adjustments based on real-time measurements.

NEAR INFRARED (NIR) TECHNOLOGY
All molecular bonds absorb specific wavelengths of light. Hydrogen bonds including O-H (water); C-H (hydrocarbon) and N-H (ammonia) all absorb strongly in the NIR spectral region. The amount of NIR energy reflected at a given wavelength is inversely proportional to the quantity of absorbing molecules in a product.
The NIR technique is a non-destructive, noncontacting measurement. MoistTech’s sensor utilizes multiple wavelengths of NIR light, projected onto the product at a very high repetition rate. The reflected light is then measured using a digitally enhanced detection system and thousands of data points are sampled every second.
MoistTech has the worldwide reputation for its exceptionally accurate NIR (near infrared) sensors and software for moisture testing and measurement and control. The newly developed 868 Moisture Sensor and software can be configured and calibrated for numerous components in virtually any application.
