Abstract
A measuring unitis provided inside a rotary drum. The measuring unitis provided with a light transmitting memberand an optical sensorthat are provided at the central region on the inner wall of the other end portion. When particles are subjected to a coating treatment, information as to the properties (such as the coating thickness, the moisture, the coating performance, and the impurity) of the particles of a particle layer A being brought into contact with the surface of the light transmitting memberis measured on a real-time basis by the NIR sensorvia the light transmitting member. The data is processed by the processing unit of the NRI spectroscopic analyzer to thereby perform monitoring. By appropriately adjusting the coating operation conditions (such as the supplied air volume, the supplied air temperature, the spraying condition, and the rotation speed of the rotary drum) by feedback control or a manual operation according to the result, it becomes possible to perform the coating treatment of high quality.
