The M10 is specifically designed to measure the moisture and moisture profiles of individual filter rods, cigarettes and industry manufactured cigars using a ring-shaped non destructive microwave resonance technique. The profile measurements are done in steps which are selectable by the user from a specimen length of 58 mm to 150 mm. The M10 offers therewith a highly flexible “moisture and more” measurement platform. With its flexible sample hopper the M10 offers the measurement of a wide range of product diameters from 4.5 mm to 8.5 mm just by simple exchange of the sample drums.
At the heart of the M10 is the ring-shaped microwave resonator and a touchscreen monitor user interface module that remains constant, irrelevant of the measurement (moisture or profiles) or the type of product being measured. Data configuration is as simple as a click of the menu to switch between the different options. The interface is a fully featured graphical user interface with network and printer connection configurations, local and central database storage and user
access controls.
