KJT-270/KTE-270F

KJT-270/KTE-270F

The KJT-270 is a desk-top Near-Infrared Composition Analyzer. Simply put the sample in the sample tray, place the tray on the turntable and this high-precision component analyzer can measure it. When testing simple substances, this unit can display 4 component analyses consecutively and when connected to a Personal Computer, 4 component analyses can be displayed simultaneously. The KTE-270F enables measurement with both transmittance and reflectance. By preparing two fiber probes for transmittance and reflectance, the KTE-270F can analyse many samples.
• Plural components can be measured by a single operation.
• Low cost and compact.
• Even liquid samples can be measured. KTE-270F enables measurement with both transmittance and reflectance.
• The PC software is supplied as standard equipment.

KJT-230

KJT-230

The KJT-230 is a desk-top NIR Moisture Meter.
Measurement of samples with rough surfaces
To accommodate samples with rough surfaces, the KJT-230 uses a rotating sample turntable. This allows a large area of the samples to be measured and averaged.
Automatic zero adjustment function
When no sample is present, the instrument automatically makes a zero adjustment every 10 seconds to eliminate any possible drift.
Measurement of samples using a container with a glass cover
If a sample is likely to quickly lose or gain moisture, it can be placed in a sample cup with a glass cover. The light emission and reception axis are inclined, hence there is no specular reflection of light from the glass.
Measurement of liquid samples
Glass slides and covers are available for measuring jelly and slurry samples whose glossy surfaces make measurement difficult. The covers can be cleaned after measurement, thus highly viscous samples are not a problem.
Convenient automatic measuring mode
In automatic mode, the turntable begins rotating immediately after the sample is placed on it and the measurement begins. When the measurement is completed, the turntable stops and the results are displayed.
External output feature
An external Printer can be connected directly to the KJT-230 to print results, or a Personal Computer can be connected to store the data in a file.

KJT-130

KJT-130

The KJT-130 is the world’s first battery operated hand-held NIR Moisture Meter
The rechargeable battery operated KJT-130 portable NIR Moisture Meter enables measurements to be made where no AC power is available. The instrument requires a 6.8 volt DC source. A battery compatible with the Sony 8 mm video Handycam(tm) can be used.
Distance indicator
A unique and easily used system is employed to determine the distance from the instrument to the measured object. Two light sources are used, one red, the other white. When the red circle of light (10 mm) is within the white circle (25 mm) then the instrument is 150 mm from the object and at the correct measuring distance.
Simple analytical curve selection
Five different analytical curves can be programmed into the F1 through F5 keys. At the touch of an F button, the appropriate curve is selected.
Storage of up to 99 readings
The instrument will store up to 99 moisture measurements in non-volatile memory. Even removing power will not cause memory loss. Also stored, is the time the readings were taken and the actual absorbance data.
Small and light
The unit is lightweight (1.1 kg) and compact,  thus easily carried to the measurement site. It can be mounted on a standard camera tripod, or other available support accessories.
Data hold function
A Simple button press will keep the last measurement made, on the display until the sampling mode button is pressed. In normal on-line applications, measurements can be continuously displayed.
