Sensors<\/i>\u00a0measure<\/i>\u00a0moisture, fat\/oil, color, and temperature<\/i>\u00a0in-line<\/i>\u00a0for improved<\/i>\u00a0process control.<\/i>\u00a0<\/p>\n

WESTBOROUGH, Mass.<\/span>, Aug. 5, 2026<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — Increasingly, food processors are striving for “zero-defects” by measuring as\u00a0many\u00a0quality parameters as possible in various stages of production. To\u00a0assist\u00a0processors in meeting this goal, KPM Analytics\u00a0announced\u00a0the new MCT700 Series NIR (near infrared) sensors that provide continuous in-line measurement of moisture, fat\/oil, color, and product temperature.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Installed over conveyors, augers, and chutes, the non-contact sensors are suitable for monitoring baked and fried snacks, doughs, crackers, breakfast cereals, food ingredients, and more.<\/p>\n

MCT790 NIR Sensor, Now with Product Color Measurement<\/b>\u00a0<\/p>\n

The MCT790 NIR sensor provides precise measurements of moisture, fat\/oil, product temperature, and now product color. In addition to ensuring that products consistently meet quality standards, the MCT790 sensor provides real-time data for manual or automatic adjustment of production equipment like ovens and sprayers. This reduces costly waste and improves productivity.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The MCT790 sensor is suitable for challenging production line locations including hot, greasy, and wet environments. Its stainless-steel IP69K-rated<\/span> housing can be washed down using harsh cleaning solutions typical of the food industry. An internal fan provides thermal management inside the sensor.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The rugged display, which is typically mounted beside the line, has\u00a0an IP67 rating.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

MCT700 and MCT750 NIR Sensors<\/b>\u00a0<\/p>\n

For applications where color measurement is not needed, KPM Analytics also announces the MCT700 and MCT750 in-line NIR sensors. They measure the same parameters as the MCT790 except for color. The MCT700 is IP67 rated with a standard Kel-F sensor window, and the MCT750 is IP69K<\/span>\u00a0rated with advanced cooling features and a rugged sapphire sensor window.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Supporting the Trend Toward In-Line<\/b>\u00a0Monitoring<\/b>\u00a0<\/p>\n

The new sensors support an emerging trend in food processing that uses in-line, real-time\u00a0measurements\u00a0and automatic process corrections. This approach replaces a worker taking samples periodically and measuring them with other at-line solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Additionally, for conveyor applications, each MCT700 Series sensor can be integrated with a traversing frame to scan an entire belt width. This capability allows users to analyze individual product lanes using a move-and-park feature, which is especially beneficial for food applications with industrial ovens that have multiple heating zones.<\/p>\n

“Continuous measurement enables rapid response to production issues, which supports the business objectives of increasing productivity and decreasing waste.”\u00a0said Chris\u00a0Pike, Senior Director of Product Management with KPM Analytics.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sensor<\/b>\u00a0Features<\/b>\u00a0<\/p>\n

All\u00a0the new models offer features designed to simplify integration and reduce the cost of operation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
