TM9000 Non-Contact Tobacco Gauge

TM9000 Non-Contact Tobacco Gauge brings cutting-edge process optimization to tobacco production. Based on high accuracy near-infrared (NIR) technology, it gives non-contact continuous measurement of the most critical constituents, i.e., moisture, nicotine, total sugars, and color. It is applicable to various grades of tobaccos, from whole leaf to redried lamina cuts and finished blends. With the ability to measure single as well as multi-components, TM9000 makes the process control more straightforward, product quality more optimized, and productivity more improved. With its modular and user-friendly design, it offers versatility to various needs of production while having scope to upscale to respond to growing needs.
