Improving Corn Milling Process Efficiency using Real-time Moisture and Protein Measurements

The wet milling process relies heavily on process efficiency and product quality in order to maintain profitability and competitiveness. This has driven the need for accurate on-line measurements of key parameters such as moisture.

NDC Infrared Engineering has provided measurement solutions to major producers worldwide.

The MM710e On-Line Moisture Gauge is able to measure moisture and corn gluten protein to help manufacture consistent product within specification limits.

For a highly versatile product such as starch, there are a variety of benefits derived from real-time on-line measurement: bulk density and its keeping qualities are highly dependent on the moisture content. Moisture measurement and control can also help to achieve drier energy savings and reduce out-of-spec materials.

MM710e is available for measurement on:

  • Starch
  • Modified Starch
  • Sweeteners
  • Gluten
  • Germ
  • Fiber

For access to product in enclosed ducts, NDC recommends its PowderVision Sampler, to which the MM710e attaches.
