Non-Contact NIR Moisture Measurement

During the manufacturing process of a wide range of products in many different industries, it is vital to accurately measure and control the moisture content levels.

In the food processing industry, the moisture content levels must be precisely controlled throughout the manufacturing process to ensure the optimum product properties and that the product meets the final quality criteria.

If the moisture content level in products like savoury snacks or biscuits is too high, the shelf life will be reduced, product quality will be affected and your customers will have a negative experience. This will cause a lack of confidence in your product and brand, inevitably leading to reputational damage and loss of valuable market share.

Near-infrared (NIR), non-contact on-line gauges, and at-line/lab. analyzers, are used extensively in the food processing industry to measure the moisture content levels in a diverse range of products, including:

  • Potato Chips/Crisps
  • Coffee
  • Biscuits
  • Flour
  • Confectionery
  • Breakfast Cereals
  • Snack Foods

In other industries, non-contact NIR on-line moisture gauges can be used to measure the moisture content levels in products such as:

  • Biomass Materials
  • Powders
  • Bulk Materials
  • Clay for Brick Manufacturing

We have the expertise to help you implement the in-process measurement system to suit your particular requirements. Our systems will provide the next level of process control, helping you to improve plant efficiency and allowing you to take swift corrective actions leading to a better-quality end product and reassurance for your customers.
