The HK3 is a continuous NIR reflection measurement for fat
and/or water with illumination infrared LEDs. The LED-NIR-Spectrometer
HK3 is a modular unit. Evaluation and sensor system are mounted
in different housings. This makes the installation very
flexible.
The evaluation takes place in different peak areas. The distance
between sensor system and product is approx. 200mm.
The measured values are available as digital RS232 (or optional
RS485) output and analog value.
Advantages
In contrast to conventional IR- or NIR-systems of the
competition, the HK3 is not equipped with color filters or
halogen bulbs. The used LED illumination ensures an improved
stability with a lifetime of 10 years.
Measurement Design
The sensor system is located 200mm over the top of the
product surface. The product surface can be smooth and
planar, but also bulk material. The products (i.e.
cement, plastic granulate) are moving on a conveyor belt
under the sensor system. The environment has to be
dust-free.
Calibration
The calibration of the HK3 is done with our easy to use
Specter3
software.
