Moisture content control in corn, wheat, bran and rice based
cereals manufacture is critical at various stages of the process,
right up to the final product.
NDC Infrared Engineering has developed a high performance
moisture measurement for the final product moisture optimization in
the critical 2-7% range using the MM710e Foods Gauge. Other ranges
are also available.
The main motivation for moisture control is to avoid overdrying
which may lead to burnt flavors and compromised quality and energy
loss.
Measuring and controlling moisture on-line in real time can help
achieve the following benefits:
- Avoiding Burnt flavors
- Avoiding Product Deformity
- Maximizing Yield
- Reducing Lost Time waiting for Lab Results
- Energy Savings

off-line measurement or laboratory analysis is also possible
using the InfraLab
at-line analyzer.
