Non-Contact NIR Moisture Measurement

Ensuring Optimal Product Quality Through Precise Moisture Management in Manufacturing

Across diverse industrial sectors, maintaining precise control over moisture content during production is paramount for achieving superior product attributes and meeting stringent quality standards. Nowhere is this more critical than in the food processing sector, where consistent moisture levels directly impact product integrity.

For instance, excessive moisture in items such as savoury snacks or biscuits can significantly diminish shelf life, compromise product quality, and lead to negative consumer perceptions. Such issues can erode brand trust and ultimately result in a loss of market share.

NIR measurement technology is widely applied across snack and food processing sectors, from crisps and cereals to coffee, flour, and baked goods. This versatility ensures consistent moisture control and optimised product quality at every stage.

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.
