Leaf Process

The natural variations in the incoming leaf and the demands made by customers have created the need for high performance moisture measurement to achieve control during the threshing process.
Control of moisture improves threshing efficiency and reduces the quantity of lamina smalls produced.
Moisture content at the critical packaging stage is affected by earlier variation throughout threshing and re-drying processes.
In addition to on-line moisture measurement NDC provides measurements of temperature, nicotine and sugar.
For whatever reasons you have to measure, NDC Infrared Engineering's applications engineering has resulted in the development of the most accurate on-line moisture measurement available for its TM710 On-Line Tobacco Gauge.
Where there is a need to test samples taken from the process, the InfraLab tobacco Analyzer provides rapid results (in under ten seconds) with minimal preparation.
