PREDIKTIR FOR BULK MATERIALS On-Line Measurements That Can Be Trusted NDC Technologies brings its world renowned NIR technology experience of over 40 years to bulk materials processors with tight budgets and the requirements are for the most part moisture measurements. For years, generic instrumentation suppliers have offered moisture gauges which promise measurements at a low price. However, in practice, experience has not met expectation: these gauges need regular re-calibration, have poor measurement accuracy and instrument stability which limit their application where process control or even...

PREDIKTIR FOR BULK MATERIALS How PrediktIR Measures MoistureProven technology for proven results PrediktIR is based upon NDC Technologies’ proven optical filter technology. Light at a specific wavelength is absorbed by moisture. The rotating filter wheel projects pulses of light at this wavelength, and other reference wavelengths not absorbed by moisture, onto the product. Some of this light is absorbed and the rest is scattered/ reflected. The gauge light collecting optics focus the reflected intensities onto a detection system which compares the amount of moisture absorption with the reference...

PREDIKTIR FOR BULK MATERIALS Gauging configurations and installation PrediktIR can be installed easily in most processes and as a non-contact measurement it is typically installed above a conveyor belt carrying the product. In cases where the product is transported in enclosed ducts, NDC has a number of sampling systems including PowderVision which allows access to the product in gravity-fed ducts. For high-temperature environments, the gauge head can be cooled using an integral Vortex cooler attached to the side of the casing allowing it to operate in temperatures up to 80°C (176°F). The air...
