Primary Processing departments are tasked with delivering a
consistent tobacco blend to the secondary department. To achieve
this, these three parameters must be controlled:
- Moisture
- Fill Value
- Particle size
Moisture is the most controllable and Primary Departments need
final blend moisture content of +/-0.5% within target.
With the need to measure moisture on the process line, any
instrument must be able to withstand the environmental changes in
the process without degrading its moisture value. The TM710 from
NDC Infrared Engineering has been developed to achieve optimum
measurement accuracy without showing sensitivity to:
- Ambient lighting
- Tobacco pass height
- Ambient temperature and humidity
- Blend variation
Moreover, the TM710e is engineered for an industry-best
long-term stability making it the most reliable gauge available for
tobacco process control.
And where there is need to measure samples taken from the
process, the InfraLab Tobacco Analyzer provides rapid sample
analysis with minimal preparation.
