Moisture Content in Biscuits & Oil
Quality Matters
MoistTech’s near-infrared (NIR) moisture system detects both the moisture content in biscuits and oil in food production. Controlling the amount of moisture and/or oil in biscuits is an important consideration for process operators. Too little or too much moisture content in biscuits and oil directly impacts the production, quality and taste of the food.
NIR technology is a non-contact solution to provide accurate readings of biscuit and oil moisture content. Insensitive to material variations such as particle size, material height & color, the sensors provide continuous, reliable readings with zero drift and minimal to no maintenance. A one-time calibration with a non-drift optical design, allows operating personnel to make immediate line adjustments based on real-time measurements.
Side by Side Comparison
Implementing quality control measures for raw ingredients and finished products through online analysis significantly reduces the need for laboratory analysis. This not only saves technician resources but also reduces costs associated with chemicals, hazmat disposal, and instrumentation. In fact, at a medium-sized facility, the savings can amount to several thousand dollars per month or even more.
Overall, by prioritizing moisture control, monitoring raw ingredients, and implementing quality control measures, manufacturers can achieve consistent product quality, reduce costs, and improve overall efficiency in their operations.
non-contact
Our equipment never comes into contact with the product, allowing for less waste
zero drift
Our sensors are guaranteed not to drift over time – which saves time and money
closed loop
Create a closed-loop process by tying a moisture sensor into your PLC. Full control over the line!
no recalibrations
We’ve mastered the art of moisture sensors – your unit will never need to be recalibrated for the same product twice!
Points of Measurement
- Raw material testing to verify supplier integrity and ingredient quality
- Monitoring and controlling mixers to ensure consistency in the biscuit moisture content
- Monitoring and controlling moisture levels at the oven exit
- Monitoring and controlling moisture content of oils, cheese or other ingredients sprayed on the product NIR analysis is a proven technique that provides simultaneous results for moisture, protein, fat, and other parameters instantly
With our 40 years of experience and knowledge—and help from our industry partners—MoistTech has developed the IR-3000, a powerful moisture sensor capable of accurately measuring and regulating moisture levels of oil and biscuit moisture content. The IR-3000 stands above the competition with its immediate, non-contact measuring capabilities.
