Accurate, Reliable and Stable Moisture and Temperature Measurement for All Tobacco Processing  Applications

The MCT 101-T measures moisture... the most critical variable in tobacco processing...  providing the world's most accurate, reliable and stable moisture measurement for the tobacco industry. It can also be configured to measure product temperature.Delivered pre-calibrated and with a comprehensive 2-year warranty, the MCT 101-T is simple to install and may be used at any stage of tobacco processing, with all types of tobacco applications, including:
 

  Whole Leaf
  Whole Stems
  Cut Stems
  Lamina Strips
  Cut Lamina
  Reconstituted
  CRS
Expanded
Cigar Filler
Chewing
Pipe Tobacco
Cased Burley
DIET
Snuff

Smart Sensor Technology -The MCT 101-T is a true stand-alone NIR transmitter. A single, proprietary circuit board drives the measurement along with all analog and digital communication. Includes 4-20 mA, 0-10 volts, RS-232/ 485 or network interfaces such as Ethernet, Profibus, etc. There is no requirement for any intermediary electronics.

Optical Path Compensation -The MCT 101-T's dual beam, single detector configuration monitors the source lamp and all other optical elements, ensuring that the calibration is unaffected by long term component age.

Wide Spectrum Referencing -The MCT 101-T incorporates a unique reference filter to monitor the tobacco reflectance properties across the complete near infrared (NIR) spectrum. The filter minimizes the influence of tobacco color, blend or type on the Transmitter's reading.

Measurement Speed -A proven, reliable high speed filter wheel assembly is combined with a state-of-the-art proprietary single detector optical system. This fast sampling technique reduces measurement noise and produces an accurate and repeatable on-line signal.

Product Temperature Monitor -The MCT 101-T can be configured to monitor and display tobacco temperature in Fahrenheit or Centigrade. The temperature sensor is contained in the MCT 101-T housing. No additional hardware or wiring is required.



 
Frequently Asked Questions:  
 

Q: Do I need to calibrate the MCT 101-T?
A:
NO, the MCT 101-T is delivered from PSC with the calibration stored in the Transmitter's memory. An offset adjustment can be made on the processing line if necessary.

Q: How often do I need to re-calibrate the MCT 101-T?
A:
Due to the exceptional long-term stability of the MCT 101-T, no re-calibration is required. Calibration Check Standards allow a rapid check of the Transmitter's stability whenever needed.

Q: Does a single calibration cover all types & blends of tobacco?
A:
Similar types and blends will be measured with a single calibration. Widely different types and blends may need an offset adjustment.

Q: Is the MCT 101-T affected by changes in the processing environment?
A:
NO, the MCT 101-T is not affected by ambient light, changes in humidity or temperature fluctuations.

Q: Can I install the MCT 101-T at any stage of tobacco processing?
A:
YES, the MCT 101-T measures linearly up to 50% moisture making it suitable for all leaf and primary processing applications.

Q: Are all MCT 101-T Transmitters identical?
A:
YES, all MCT 101-T transmitters are matched to have the same sensitivity to moisture in tobacco.

Q: Can the MCT 101-T be serviced by a user's maintenance staff?
A:
YES, the MCT 101-T is totally modular and any component can be changed in 5 minutes with no effect on the measurement calibration.

Q: Is the Transmitter available in languages other than English?
A:
Yes, indeed. For example: Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Polish, Russian, Chinese and more.
