NIR/ MIR Sensors

Total weight measurement

Key Features

Non-contact, double sided online measurement
Real-time, state-of-the-art mid-infrared measuring wavelengths
Basis Weight measurement of PP, PA, and PES materials
More accurate online measurements using large optical components

Measuring Method

The Scienta MIR absorption-based sensor series 7230 is a double sided, 2-channel or 4-channel InGaAs detector-based Basis Weight sensor for online use. The sensor measures the Mid infrared light absorbed by different wavelengths caused by plastic materials. This signal is digitalized and linearized to correlate to real weights in engineering units. Basis weight range is 5..100 g/m².

Benefits

To process applications such spun bond, batt needling lines and dry or wet laid products. The sensor is insensitive to ash, but recycled pulp can influence the measurement accuracy.

No radioactive source is required
Non-contact measurement
Service free construction
