Rice Moisture
Implement Proactive Avoidance
Inaccurate moisture levels in rice production can lead to extra drying costs and harvesting loss, spoilage of grain in storage, extra drying costs and loss of quality, lower head rice when milled, and weight loss in grain if it is sold too dry.
Rice, being a crucial staple for both humans and animals worldwide, necessitates stringent quality control procedures that commence in the rice fields and extend through the milling, storage, and consumption stages. These procedures are essential to meet the global demand for rice. MoistTech offers technological solutions that enable the monitoring and measuring of the rice moisture content for all rice varieties and their byproducts.
Side by Side Comparison
It is important to monitor the rice moisture content during the drying and/or milling process to prevent the formation of sticky products and reduce the risk of spoilage. Analyzing the outgoing product can provide valuable insights into the quality of rice production.
Rice, a widely consumed gluten-free alternative, finds its application in various baked goods like bread, muffins, granola bars, cookies, and more. Additionally, rice is commonly utilized in the production of other food items such as noodles and spring roll wrappers, which are derived from the rice milling process. All of these applications are crucial to making sure the rice moisture is monitored to create a quality product for consumers and businesses.

non-contact
Our NIR moisture sensors 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 NIR moisture sensors – your unit will never need to be recalibrated for the same product twice!
What is the Solution?
Utilizing an IR3000, operating personnel can make immediate process adjustments to the rice moisture content based on real-time measurements. The net result is improved quality and reduced rice production costs by savings in energy and loss reduction. Installing our on-line sensors prevents bad product due to undesirable moisture levels. Now you can fine-tune your setup to make sure you are putting out a higher quality and more consistent product and ultimately improve your bottom line. Save money, and time while preventing negative results due to inconsistencies and human error.
Develop
The MoistTech NIR moisture sensors can be installed into any hopper, silo, material line, belt, or screw conveyor and the moisture results of the rice are displayed on a color touch screen or output on any of our many signal options. The IR3000 is MoistTech’s NIR moisture sensor that was developed for instant, non-contact analysis in the harshest environments. Insensitive to material variations such as particle size, material height & color, the IR-3000 provides continuous, reliable readings without drift or frequent re-calibration of rice moisture and other products.
