M-Sens NIR

Contactless online moisture measurement for solids

ENVEA M-Sens NIR is near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy technology. Utilizing an intelligent software solution the M-Sens NIR delivers instant, accurate and nondestructive, non-contact moisture measurement.

 

Near Infrared (NIR) spectroscopy uses light transmission and absorption to measure moisture in a sample material.

 

M-Sens NIR can be use on various type of material, it is a contactless online moisture measurement.

 

Because NIR penetrates deeper into bulk material than mid-infrared, it provides better, more reliable measurement on a production line.
