Product catalog summary

Introduction
The document focuses on the use of precision on-line and at-line Near-Infrared (NIR) moisture measurements in chemical and pharmaceutical applications. These measurements enhance product quality, improve production efficiency, reduce fossil fuel consumption, and ensure accurate batch drying.

Product Overview
The NDC CM710e Industrial Moisture Gauges, PH710e Pharmaceutical Moisture Gauges, and InfraLab Benchtop Moisture Analyzers are designed for industrial processes. They are supported by a database of over 3,000 application records, ensuring reliable measurements for quality and process control.

Applications and Benefits
Real-time on-line moisture measurement is essential for maintaining product quality and process efficiency. It is applicable in processes like tableting, slurry monitoring, and dryer exit control, requiring robust and accurate measurements tailored to specific environments.

CM710e and PH710e Moisture Gauges
The CM710e uses NIR technology for continuous non-contact moisture measurement at a speed of 7.5 milliseconds, with various connectivity options. The PH710e, with a stainless steel housing, is suitable for pharmaceutical applications.

InfraLab Moisture Analyzer
The InfraLab is designed for at-line or laboratory use, offering fast and accurate sample testing with Ethernet and LIMS connectivity, substantial data storage, and security features. It replaces traditional moisture testing methods.

Key Features and Options
The CM710e and PH710e offer features like IP65 & IP67 housings, auto reference standards, cooling options, and ATEX certification for dust hazard areas. The InfraLab provides a user-friendly interface and secure data management.

Installation and Process Integration
The CM710e is engineered for continuous or discontinuous product flows, with features like high-speed gating and air purge window shields. It is easy to install and integrate into existing systems, offering flexibility and low cost of ownership.
