Borgwaldt KC is very pleased to introduce the new OMI+ PZ for fast shop floor calculation of Triacetin based on microwave technique.
Triacetin Triacetin is an important aspect in the composition and design of a cigarette. It has an impact on taste, selective retention and delivery of a cigarette.
Impact of a strongly varying Triacetin content: - less filter rod firmness -> Triacetin too low - hot collapse --> Triacetin too high
Common methods are time consuming, very expensive and not appropriate on a production floor – NMR, GC, NRI.
Method with the OMI+:
The well established multi parameter teststation OMI+ has been supplemented with a microwave and special software developed by Rhodia, called “Cable”.
The features of the OMI+ PZ can be summarized as follows:
Effective and reliable measurement based on microwave technology
Measurement of a wide range of filter rod specs independent from filter tow-specs or plug -wrap paper influence
Minimal calibration work to do
Quick and reliable measurement, directly on the production floor
PD auto-calibration mode for constantly precise and robust PD and Triacetin results
Upon request OMI+ PZ can be supplied with “cable” software only
SD of 3,8 mg
