Manufacturer: KPM Analytics
Online NIR and rheology for process and bakeryWe specify and commission the KPM Analytics online-NIR range, MCT560, MCT460, MCT566, NIR-7000 and Guardian-HD, for non-contact online measurement of moisture, oil/fat, and coat weight in paper mills, OSB, snacks drying, and other drying processes. In addition, we deliver KPM's rheology portfolio, Mixolab and Alveolab, for bakeries and flour mills. Real-time data is delivered to your PLC or DCS system. The installation includes application-specific calibration against certified reference methods, commissioning on site, and traceable method documentation in accordance with ISO 17025.

Each sensor is specified against the plant's specific sample portfolio, web type, speed, mounting distance, measurement frequency, and reference method. Configuration is carried out together with your process engineer and laboratory, and validated against certified reference materials.
MCT560 provides continuous non-contact measurement of moisture and oil in process, integrated directly with your PLC or DCS system via 4–20 mA, Modbus or Ethernet/IP. The sensor is mounted above the web, screw conveyor or free-fall stream and calibrated application-specifically using the SensorVu software. The MCT566 and MCT569 variants extend the wavelength range for additional process samples. Commissioning, application calibration and a service contract are included.
Labsense sells and services the KPM Analytics range in Sweden — five online NIR platforms for moisture, oil/fat and coat weight in process, plus Mixolab and Alveolab for dough rheology in bakeries and flour mills. All with Labsense application support and on-site commissioning.

Rheology
Alveograph measurement of extensibility and elasticity in wheat dough, international reference method (ICC 121, AACCI 54-30) for flour mills and bakeries.
MCT560 is specified for three application clusters in the Swedish market. The core function is real-time control of moisture and oil directly in process — without sampling, without drying loss, without lag relative to the laboratory. The sensor integrates with your PLC or DCS system and drives feedback in drying, dosing or quality alarms.
We offer service contracts with annual planned service by our own engineers, for improved operational reliability and stable measurement quality over time. Commissioning, calibration, troubleshooting, and original spare parts are included as per agreement.
KPM's NIR sensors work against reference methods already recognised by your QA organisation and your customers' auditors. Initial calibration is built application-specifically against certified reference materials and the site's own laboratory method (typically loss on drying per ISO or TAPPI). Re-calibration is scheduled according to the agreed service plan.
Describe the process, web, conveyor or free-fall, sample type, moisture range and current measurement method. We will respond with a configuration proposal within one working day.
