  4. Strong, Stable, Diversified, Privately Held Company

  5. Reasons for Moisture Measurement in Tobacco • Quality Control • Final product moisture • Improved Processing • Dry for storage (no rot) • Wet for handling/cutting (won’t crumble) • Flavoring Control • Flavors are based on %dry weight. • Use %moisture to correct weigh belt.

  6. Tobacco Moisture Is Critical In All Phases Of Processing • Moisture impacts smoking quality, flavor, burn, fill, waste, and machine operation from green leaf threshing to primary processing. • Each operation such as drying, re-moisturizing, rolling, cutting, and conditioning have an optimum moisture level to maximize efficiency.

  7. Tobacco Products • Expanded • Blended Tobacco • Pipe Tobacco • Cigar Filler • Cigar Wrapper • Roll Your Own Tobacco • Whole Leaf • Stems • Reconstituted • Chewing Tobacco • Lamina Strips • Cut Tobacco

  10. Near Infrared Absorption Curve

  11. Tobacco Blends • Different blends need different calibrations Why ? • Casings/Humectants/Volatiles • Look like water in an oven moisture test • Different Tobacco Types • Different NIR reflectance • Affects every NIR instrument on the market

  12. Different Tobacco Types

  16. Steam and Water Controller SENSOR SENSOR Tobacco Installation: Steam Cylinder Control Feedback Control Bad! poor mixing Bad! too close to cylinder Feed forward Control

  17. The Intelligent Gauge Concept • Gauge carries out all signal processing • Calibrated measurements derived in gauge head • There is no need for control units • The gauge is a network device • It can communicate with other devices for data display • Inbuilt features, PID Controller, Product Temperature, Humidity Compensation • Single PCB Design

  18. MCT360-T Sensor Performance • Accuracy • Depends on lab, sampling, tobacco type • Strip, Stem & Whole Leaf Tobacco: +/- 0.3% • Cut Tobacco: +/- 0.1% • Reconstituted & Expanded Tobacco: +/- 0.1% • Lamp Life 5-10+ years. • Stability • Excellent: +/- 0.1%/yr • Height Sensitivity • 15-40 cm (6-16”) Excellent

  19. Excellence in Measurement • Backscatter, Single or Multi-Component intelligent NIR gauge • Unrivalled measurement accuracy, stability and capability • high speed measurement offering enhanced accuracy • up to 3 component analysis • Optional IR Product Temperature Measurement • Pre-calibrated measurements • Easy to use, Multi-lingual Operator Interface • Active diagnostics • No Routine Maintenance • Networkable gauge using “AnyBus” communication standards with connectivity to the process. ProfiBus, DeviceNet, Ethernet Etc...

  20. Easier Customer Operation • Multiple Languages including Chinese Selectable by Operator • All sensors have the same span • Same sensor • Detectors have same output characteristics • Same algorithm, filters, settings • Same application, product • Zero is fine-tuned at target to account for local laboratory methods

  21. MCT600-Bench Top Moisture Analyser The MCT-600 is a bench top, multiple constituent tester.  Samples are placed in the sample dish, rotated automatically and tested within 10 seconds.  Reducing sugars and nicotine measurements available on select ground samples. • Rotating Sample Tray • Non Contact Testing • Pre-Calibrated • Multiple Measurements • Multi Language  Display • No Sample Preparation
