PSC MCT700 & MCT750

In-Line NIR Sensors for Snack Food Production

The MCT700 and MCT750 are KPM Analytics’ latest in-line NIR sensors for food processing, delivering continuous measurement of moisture, fat/oil and product temperature. The MCT700 is IP67-rated with a standard Kel-F sensor window; the MCT750 steps up to IP69K washdown protection with advanced cooling and a rugged sapphire window — both measuring up to 100 readings per second.

The Latest Generation In-Line NIR Sensors for Food Processing

The MCT700 and MCT750 are KPM Analytics’ newest in-line NIR (near infrared) sensors, providing continuous, non-contact measurement of moisture, fat/oil and product temperature. Installed over conveyors, augers and chutes, they’re built for food processing lines including baked and fried snacks, doughs, crackers, breakfast cereals and food ingredients — the same core parameters as the colour-measuring MCT790, without colour.

Key Benefits

  • Continuous, real-time data supports manual or automatic adjustment of production equipment such as ovens and sprayers.
  • Helps processors hit “zero-defect” quality targets by measuring more parameters, more often, at critical stages of production.
  • Reduces costly waste and improves productivity through rapid response to production issues.

MCT700 vs MCT750 — Choosing the Right Fit

  • MCT700: IP67-rated with a standard Kel-F sensor window — suited to general in-line food processing environments.
  • MCT750: IP69K-rated with advanced cooling and a rugged sapphire sensor window — built for washdown environments with harsh cleaning solutions.

Features

  • High-speed measurement up to 100 readings per second — fast enough to analyse segmented products like cookies and crackers.
  • Simple to operate, integrate and standardise across multiple lines, in keeping with prior MCT Series models.
  • Proprietary temperature-controlled detector ensures measurement stability.
  • Fully modular, with all components easily replaceable in the field.
  • Easy troubleshooting with advanced on-board diagnostics.
  • Can be integrated with a traversing frame to scan an entire belt width, with a move-and-park feature for analysing individual product lanes — especially useful for ovens with multiple heating zones.

Software

Like prior MCT Series models, the MCT700 and MCT750 are designed to integrate with KPM’s SensorVu Windows-based PC software for set-up, calibration, product code selection, diagnostics and remote trend monitoring.
