FITNIR™ KABX
NIR spectroscopic analyzer that measures the kappa number of wet and dry kraft pulp and pulp sheets
FITNIR™ KABX utilizes NIR (Near Infrared) spectroscopy to measure the kappa number of kraft pulp.
FITNIR™ KABX does not rely on other parameters for measurement (such as sample weight), automates sample preparation, and eliminates all associated chemicals.
With FITNIR™ KABX, mills can monitor and control pulp production from the beginning of the process to the final product, enabling quicker adjustments for improved efficiency.

Main Features
- Uses NIR spectrometry for rapid and accurate analysis of wet and dry kraft pulp
- Does not rely on other parameters for measurement
- No sample preparation and chemicals needed
- Frequent measurements can be performed across multiple process locations
- Analysis results in less than 4 minutes, including sample preparation
- Ideal for measuring high kappa numbers of kraft linerboard pulp
- Calibration models can be transferred between pulp grades without requiring major recalibration
- Can be configured to measure viscosity
Here are the applications that are available under FITNIR™ KABX
Key Benefits
