Moisture Control in Animal Feed Production One of the big challenges in the animal feed industry is the large number of different formulations. Controlling and measuring the moisture enables the correct calibration for each of the different formulations.
Moisture Control in Animal Feed Production
One of the big challenges in the animal feed industry is the large number of different formulations. Controlling and measuring the moisture enables the correct calibration for each of the different formulations. One of the big challenges in the animal feed industry is the number of different formulations that can be produced by a single plant. For each batch, it is essential to ensure that the quality of the product is correct so that the animals are fed a balanced nutritional diet optimised for their type and stage of development. For this reason, moisture sensors are often used in conjunction with a control system that manages the formulation parameters. Controlling and measuring the moisture enables the correct calibration for each of the different formulations. Moisture control is a key factor in ensuring the final feed is palatable, retains its nutrients, and is consistent. Benefits of Moisture Control * Improve nutritional consistency * Reduce spoilage and waste * Improve shelf life * Optimise pellet durability * Increase plant efficiency * Reduce process downtime Where to Measure Moisture Effective moisture control of the entire process requires the

Moisture Control in Woodchips with Hydro-Mix XT (EX)  Working with the correct moisture of wood is important to prevent damage to process equipment, so measuring the moisture online with precision sensors ensures optimum efficiency.
Moisture Control in Woodchips with Hydro-Mix XT (EX)
Working with the correct moisture of wood is important to prevent damage to process equipment, so measuring the moisture online with precision sensors ensures optimum efficiency. The moisture in wood stockpiles varies constantly with local environmental conditions, both during harvesting and storage. Working with the correct moisture of wood is important to prevent damage to process equipment, so measuring the moisture online with precision sensors ensures optimum efficiency. Typical applications include biofuel for boilers for CHP or power generation applications, syngas production, and processing wood into intermediate products, such as charcoal briquettes and wood pellets. Benefits of Moisture Control: * Consistent quality of the woodchips * Ensure correct moisture for storage, reducing the risk of spoilage * Increased control of the final product * Lower wastage and product degradation * Direct, continuous, real-time control of the burning process * Optimised combustion Where to Measure Moisture? After the woodchips are delivered, they are dried before entering a Combustion Chamber where they are burnt to generate heat

Microwave and NIR. Complementary, not competitive, technologies NIR and microwave sensors: Both can measure moisture, but each has its advantages and disadvantages. These must be taken into account when measuring and monitoring moisture.
Microwave and NIR. Complementary, not competitive, technologies
NIR and microwave sensors: Both can measure moisture, but each has its advantages and disadvantages. These must be taken into account when measuring and monitoring moisture. There is a common misconception that, where moisture measurement is required, there is a choice between NIR and microwave sensors. Both technologies can measure moisture, but each has its advantages and disadvantages in different applications that must be considered. This article compares both NIR and microwave systems and explains that, when it comes to measuring and controlling moisture, these technologies do not compete against each other but are complementary solutions. Each system should be selected based on what they do best. Comparison: NIR and Microwave NIR sensors can, in addition to moisture, measure other constituents like fat and protein content. They do not require contact with the actual substance being measured; and as they measure only the surface layer are able to measure small amounts and static material. As they only measure the surface of the material NIR sensors will not give a representative measurement if the surface layer is a different

Finding the perfect moisture for coffee beans Getting the perfect cup of coffee has many steps before you can enjoy that rich aroma and taste. Controlling moisture content is essential to ensure the highest quality.
Finding the perfect moisture for coffee beans
Getting the perfect cup of coffee has many steps before you can enjoy that rich aroma and taste. Controlling moisture content is essential to ensure the highest quality. With its focus on bringing every coffee drinker the perfect cup, the coffee bean processing industry must ensure quality at every stage. One of the critical parameters that needs to be measured and controlled at many of these stages is the coffee beans’ moisture content. Accurate, repeatable inline moisture measurement is essential to the coffee bean processing industry and the latest Digital Microwave Technology makes this possible, ensuring a plant-wide solution that can guarantee final product quality. Controlling moisture from bean to pack Controlling moisture can bring benefits at many stages of the process, but until now, the high purchase costs and the extensive maintenance required by existing solutions has restricted where this technique can be used. Many stages of the process, from the green beans to final packaging of the finished product, demand moisture control to improve the yield and quality of the coffee. Laboratory tests Laboratory tests
