Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) is a non-destructive analytical method that utilizes the absorption attenuation characteristics of near-infrared spectra to analyze the composition, components, structure, and content of substances.
II. Necessity of Tobacco Moisture Detection
During the processing and production stages, the moisture content of tobacco affects its physical properties such as elasticity, toughness, filling ability, and combustibility, as well as its appearance and intrinsic quality, including color, gloss, aroma, and taste. Therefore, strict detection and control of leaf moisture are required at every production step.
As a naturally grown plant, tobacco contains a large number of C-H, O-H, and N-H bonds that are relatively sensitive to NIR. Using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) to detect the moisture content of tobacco does not require sample extraction and can be directly installed on the tobacco processing production line for online detection.
III. Near-Infrared Moisture Detection Equipment
Our company's near-infrared online moisture detector XKCON-NIR-MA-FV, developed based on near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR), can quickly and accurately measure the moisture content of tobacco on the cigarette factory production line by establishing a near-infrared spectral detection model for tobacco leaves. It features safe light sources, non-contact operation, and environmentally friendly, pollution-free performance.
Technical Advantages of the XKCON-NIR-MA-FV Near-Infrared Online Moisture Detector:
- Extremely fast measurement speed, scanning once every 20 ms;
- No pre-treatment of the sampled tobacco leaves is required, allowing direct measurement of tobacco leaves on the production line;
- Uses a safe infrared light source, producing no exhaust or other pollutants, and causing no damage to the tobacco leaves;
- Measurement values are not affected by factors such as the shape, size, or color depth of the tobacco leaves, making it widely applicable.
IV. Near-Infrared Online Moisture Monitoring System
1. Equipment Installation
During use, hang the probe of the FV series near-infrared online moisture detector 350 mm ±100 mm above the conveyor belt material, and install the main controller in a location easily visible to workshop personnel. Company supervisors can remotely monitor the system via computer or mobile phone by logging into the XKCON XiangControl near-infrared online moisture monitoring system.
Quickly measure the moisture content of tobacco leaves running on the production line and generate a tobacco leaf moisture curve chart for easy viewing;
When the real-time value exceeds the preset alarm range, alerts can be issued via sound and light, APP, SMS, or other methods;
Through integration with process, environmental, and other control systems, intelligent linkage with relevant equipment can be triggered in the event of abnormal data for emergency handling;
Can interface with other systems in the cigarette factory to achieve data sharing.
V. Application Significance
During various processing stages of tobacco leaves, moisture content is constantly changing. By configuring the XKCON Xiangkong near-infrared online moisture monitoring system, the real-time moisture content of tobacco leaves can be monitored at any time, providing precise data support for process adjustment. It has been widely applied on cigarette production lines, such as in leaf conditioning, redrying, and cigarette making.
