Moisture Content: a Critical Parameter in Sugar Processing

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.
