Lab Moisture Analyzer

Providing Quick, Accurate Moisture Testing for Lab Analysis

Moisture measurement is critical to the freshness, quality, and shelf-life of all processed food products.

Quick moisture testing of gathered process samples is essential to prompt production decision making regarding drying temperatures and product flow rates. Even small delays in reporting accurate moisture results to production can severely affect a companies bottom line. Consequences such as:

• Out of spec product produced while awaiting lab results
• Rework costs including lost production time and labor
• Increased labor costs associated with rework or reclaimed product
• Increased utility costs required for re drying operations
• Overtime production to make up for downtime while dealing with out of spec product
• Unnecessary increase in equipment wear and associated maintenance
• Disposal costs for severely out of spec product

Avoiding these losses requires more than just any moisture meter. It requires a moisture meter that can provide prompt, accurate results without requiring gravimetric testing of process samples. Whether you use radio frequency (RF) sensors, near infrared (NIR) sensors, or a combination of the two, you can eliminate the cause of almost all of the production losses mentioned above.
