Instantaneous, “point-and-measure” handheld analyzers that can be operated by virtually any technician deliver lab-quality moisture readings in seconds

In the chemical industry, measuring and controlling moisture content can impact product quality, production throughput, and processing efficiency, as well as the purchase price of feedstock and shipping costs.

A chemical compound or final product’s quality, drying efficiency, as well as transactions based on weight, can be adversely affected by improper moisture contents.  Furthermore, the satisfaction of legal requirements can be a determining factor influencing a company to measure moisture content, which can impact effectiveness.

Handheld devices are now available from Kett USA (www.kett.com) that allow even less-skilled personnel to take lab-quality moisture measurements.

By simplifying the process, chemical producers can increase the quality of their products from feedstock receipt, formulation, and processing to end product manufacturing and distribution.

For example, with Kett’s KJT130 Handheld Portable Instant Moisture Meter, the user simply points the instrument at the product and the moisture content is instantly shown on a digital display, with results accurate to .01% in a 0-100% measurement range.

For ease of use, the unit is operated via user friendly menu commands.  The unit, which is the size of a camcorder, is designed for frequent spot checks wherever necessary, on both stationary and moving (process line) products.  Moisture measurement data may be stored in the instrument, downloaded continuously, or manually recorded.
