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
  • Easy and convenient to install and operate
  • Full range of scanners available
  • Easy calibration and setup
  • More accurate on-line measurements
  • Faster on-spec quality and reduced start up waste
  • Reduction in rejects due to high performing measurements
  • Minimization of energy consumption by accurate and reliable weight measurements and controls
  • Machine speeds can be increased on drying limited air laid and paper machines
  • Multiple channel sensor technology with micro-optic receiver
