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:
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.
Non-Contact NIR Coat-Weight Measurement
NIR gauges can also be used as a continuous, reliable and accurate method for measuring the thickness or coat-weight of many types of coatings (including hot melt adhesives, water-based pigmented coatings, wax coatings, polymer coating on paper, vinyl, PVC coating and adhesives) that are applied to many types of substrate materials (including textiles, metal, polymer films and papers).
