Sugar processing is extremely sensitive to product moisture
content. If the final product moisture is too high, this can give
rise to problems such as bridging in the storage silos and
shelf-life issues.
Sugar processing is characterized by its high volumes. Testing
small samples taken from the line in the laboratory may not give a
representative picture of the process moisture trends. The
MM710 On-Line Moisture Gauge from NDC Infrared Engineering is
accurate to laboratory standards with the added benefit of making a
continuous measurement over the flow of product at critical
locations in the process, both at intermediate and final moisture
levels. The range of available outputs, analogue or digital, mean
that our MM710 can also be incorporated into automated control
strategies.
