Moisture management is critically important
to confectionery coating processes. Good control directly
affects yields by avoiding losses due to cracking or poor product
uniformity.
Users of real-time moisture measurement gain substantial
additional benefit through optimizing the process based on
actual coating moisture measurement rather than time-based
strategies. This can generate significant productivity
improvements.
The MM710e On-Line Gauge from NDC Infrared Engineering is housed
in a food-safe IP67 enclosure allowing its direct insertion into
the pan coater. Its real-time moisture measurement can be used to
see exactly when each stage of the pan coating process is
complete.
In other confectionery processes, MM710e can be used for
measuring moisture in starch molds as well as at various stages of
Chocolate processing and Biscuit and Cookie baking.

The InfraLab
At-Line Analyzer can also be used for batch based processes where
continuous in-line measurement is not possible.
