Overview
NDC Infrared Engineering is the leading, global supplier of on line measurement instrumentation for manufacturing industry, with over 25,000 installations in more than 50 countries. NDC's on line sensors are renowned for their high precision, accuracy and long term stability making them uniquely suited for process control. The diversity of technologies offered by NDC ensures that no compromise solutions are provided for each application. In the food, tobacco, pharmaceutical/fine chemicals, building products industries, multi-component, near infrared sensors provide both on and at line measurements of moisture and other key constituents such as fat/oils, protein, nicotine, sugars and caffeine.
On line coat weight, moisture, film and barrier layer thickness and calliper measurements are provided to the converting, extrusion, non wovens, calendering and pulp and paper industries. Solutions range from fixed point gauges through to complete scanning systems with profile display systems. Immediate feedback on the process is available which can provide automatic control of line speed, dies and actuators in the production process.
Customer benefits include increased product yields, reduction in start-up time, material usage and scrap, greater product uniformity and quality and reduced energy consumption, with payback times as short as a few months in some cases.
NDC's reputation is based upon its applications engineering of robust calibration solutions and providing industry specific instruments, designed to meet the specific challenges associated with each process. Infrared sensors designed by NDC provide unparalleled repeatability in tough conditions, regardless of ambient lighting, product pass height, product temperature, dust, atmospheric humidity changes or product size, colour and composition variations.
Easy to use technology which is simple to install, pre-calibrated and requiring minimal ongoing maintenance allows NDC to offer the lowest cost of ownership solutions which continue to be profit enhancing long after initial payback.
The company manufactures high specification optical interference filters for its instruments allowing it to uniquely offer instruments pre-calibrated. Its world class coating facility also offers contract coating services for custom thin film optics.
