Specifications:
  • Measuring Range: 5 – 18% moisture.
  • Repeatability: 0.05% standard deviation based on 10 readings from the same sample.
  • Measuring Speed: 10 cigarettes per minute or 2 cigars per minute.
  • Cigarette Size: Maximum length of 144 mm and diameter of 9 mm.
  • Cigar Size: Maximum length of 280 mm and diameter of 20 mm.
  • Data Repository: SQL database.
  • Features: Integrated 10.4” TFT touch screen, Ethernet, and USB interfaces.
  • Ambient Temperature: 0 – 40 °C.
  • Mains Connection: 110 - 230 V / 50 - 60 Hz / 90 VA.
Procedures: The instruments utilize a patented measuring technique that ensures accurate readings regardless of the cigarette's surface structure or color. The horizontal transport bar facilitates precise measurements independent of cigarette diameter.
Data Management: Results are displayed as mean values, standard deviation, minimum, and maximum, both on-screen and via printouts. Data can be exported to USB for further analysis and integrated into enterprise networks through Ethernet.
Quality Control: The system complies with ISO 9000 standards, recording essential details such as time, date, and brand specifics, ensuring comprehensive quality and cut control.

Profile Measuring Instrument MW 4420 / MW 4430 Moisture and Density Profiles of Cigarettes and Cigars The MW 4420 measuring station with a hopper for moisture and density profiles of cigarettes, is ideal for controlling the quality of very many different cigarettes, whether with or without filters, filter-tipped, multifilter, etc. The patented measuring technique allows accurate measuring of cigarette moisture and density regardless of the surface structure or color of the cigarette under analysis. The horizontal cigarette transport bar ensures perfect results, allowing the moisture and density profile of every cigarette brand to be calculated independently of each cigarette diameter. The MW 4430 measures cigars the same way. Easy operation The integrated color touch screen and its self-explanatory user interface allow the system to accurately keep track of results in conformity with ISO 9000. The following details are read and kept: time, date, cigar and cigarette brand and make as well as minimum, maximum and average moisture and density values. TEWS Elektronik GmbH & Co. KG .
