Near-infrared Sensors
NDC is the leading manufacturer of Measurement and Control Systems for process industries, with the ability to measure key parameters in real-time to enable optimization of process efficiency and product quality. NDC’s on-line sensrs and at-line analyzers are widely employed for production control and quality assurance in the foods, tobacco, chemicals, minerals and pharmaceuticals industries, measuring constituents as diverse as moisture, fat or oil, protein, end-point moisture, coating thickness and sugars. InfraLab instruments utilize discrete wavelengths in the NIR spectrum selected per application to measure the change in any N-H, O-H or C-H bond same as the full spectrum instruments. The NDC sensors can also be used to do these measurements on-line, real time at 125 measurements/second for process monitoring or closed-loop feedback control. These systems are also installed in extrusion, converting, calendering, nonwovens and paper processes worldwide tomeasure moisture, coating thickness, coatweight, caliper thickness, grammage, basis weight and other key parameters.
