Tobacco Processing
InfraLab Tobacco Analyzer
Rapid, At-Line Analysis of Moisture, Nicotine and Sugars
The InfraLab At-Line Non-Contact Tobacco Analyzer is established worldwide as a viable, cost-effective alternative to the traditional gravimetric and CFA (continuous flow analysis) methods for the measurement of moisture, nicotine and sugars in Primary and GLT Processing.
- Enhance Product Quality and Consistency – through more representative process sampling
- Intuitive, Easy to Use – requires no special operator skills
- Test More in Less Time and Save – provides analysis results in less than 10 seconds, delivering substantial savings through cost reduction from routine sampling
- Environmentally Robust – measurements unaffected by product and ambient changes such as temperature, relative humidity and factory lighting
- Versatile – available in single- or multi-component measurement configurations

How it Works
Using multi-wavelength NIR (near infrared) reflection, the InfraLab does not require contact with the product sample. Samples are simply presented in the sample bowl; the InfraLab then automatically recognizes the presence of the sample and starts its measurement sequence. In just 5 seconds, the measurements are displayed clearly on the screen.
Replacement for Laboratory Methods
The InfraLab e-Series Tobacco Analyzer features the speed, ease-of-use and, above all, robustness and repeatability that have made the InfraLab so widely used, with features that make replacement of laboratory methods even more convenient:
- User-configurable multi-lingual interface
- Pass code protection with configurable user access levels
- Single or multi-component measurement configurations
- Choice of sample dishes (deep or shallow rotating, or static petri dish)
- Ethernet and LIMS connectivity
- On-board storage of 10,000 sample files and fast download to USB memory stick
Samples are simply presented in the sample bowl; the InfraLab then automatically recognizes the presence of the sample and starts its measurement sequence. In just 5 seconds, the measurements are displayed clearly on the screen.
