At Control Metrix, we understand the critical demands of the food processing industry — from maintaining exceptional product quality to ensuring regulatory compliance. We provide manufacturers with cutting-edge, non-contact measurement technologies that help them consistently meet these standards. Our solutions improve operational efficiency, reduce waste, and safeguard brand reputation by addressing two key quality control areas: in-process moisture analysis and packaging seal integrity.
Moisture content plays a vital role in product quality, shelf life, and compliance in food production. Excess moisture can lead to spoilage, texture inconsistencies, and decreased consumer confidence. Control Metrix offers high-performance NIR moisture gauges that provide:
Our moisture sensors are suitable for a diverse range of food products, including:
With integrated alarms and tolerance monitoring, manufacturers can respond instantly to deviations, improving line control and energy usage.
Key Benefits:
Proper packaging ensures food safety, extends shelf life, and maintains product freshness. Even small leaks in Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) can compromise product integrity. Our advanced seal integrity testing systems help manufacturers detect packaging issues early:
These tools integrate seamlessly into your quality assurance workflows, enabling corrective action before affected batches reach distribution.
Featured Equipment:
Both systems are designed for accuracy, speed, and ease of use.
With over 17 years of experience in non-contact measurement, Control Metrix provides:
Our systems are designed for Industry 4.0, supporting full digital integration with existing control systems via OPC UA and direct PLC connectivity.
Whether you require robust in-line moisture control or high-accuracy seal integrity systems, we’ll help you choose the right solution tailored to your operation’s needs.

The InfraLab Series 9 Food Analyzer provides a rapid, accurate, at-line measurement of moisture, fat/oil, protein and degree of bake/browness in a variety of food products. Quick and easy to use, the InfraLab Food Analyzer requires no special operator skills and can make the analysis in just five seconds.
The InfraLab Series 9 Meat Analyzer provides a rapid, accurate, at-line measurement of moisture, fat/oil, protein, collagen and collagen/protein ratio in meat. Quick and easy to use, the InfraLab NIR Meat Analyzer requires no special operator skills and can make the analysis in just five seconds.
The Series 9 Food Moisture Gauge is the latest generation sensor for precise, on-line, measurement of moisture, fat/oil, protein and degree of bake/browness. The ultra-accurate device provides continuous, dependable measurements that can be relied upon for automated process control of food process lines to improve the product quality and plant efficiency.
The InfraLab Top Loader Analyzer provides a rapid, accurate, at-line measurement of moisture, fat/oil, protein and degree of bake/browness in a variety of food products. Quick and easy to use, the InfraLab Top Loader Analyzer provides higher repeatability with almost zero variation.
The Dynascan LeakVIEW enables companies to visually test for any possible leaks in the seals of the packaging through bubble emission testing. The packaging is placed in a clear Perspex test chamber, which is filled with water; the headspace is placed under a predetermined vacuum level causing the packing under test to inflate. Should any leaks be present a stream of bubbles will be emitted showing the location of the leak in a faulty seal.
The Sealtick TSE 6086b is a semi-automated device for rapid vacuum decay leak detection and package seal integrity testing used in the food processing, pharmaceutical and medical industries. Using the principle of vacuum decay, it checks the effectiveness of packaging designed to protect products from moisture, oxygen and biological contaminants, all of which could negatively affect the quality of the product and reduce shelf life.
Thyristor Power Controllers provide efficient, reliable and precise control of electrical heating, which is absolutely essential in many industrial thermal processes including industrial furnaces, IR drying, glass manufacturing, semiconductors, heat treatment, melting, drying and forming.

“The SealTick is the perfect solution for us. It is so easy to use and offers a rapid test cycle allowing for objective testing.” Read more.
“Not only did Kevin get us up and running quickly, but his work was also thorough and traceable to the correct ASTM standard to which we test our products.” Read more.
“Kevin’s industry experience and product knowledge were evident and it has been great to have one point of contact throughout the process. Kevin even wrote our standard operating procedure (SOP) for us, which was much appreciated. We have been using the InfraLab Food Analyzer for ten months now and we can honestly say that there has been a massive improvement in our production processes and ultimately the quality of the end product. The potato waffles are now the crispiest that they have ever been and are now Birds Eye’s star product, thanks to the Infralab Food Analyzer and the guidance and support provided.”
“We got in touch with the team because we needed a product that would enable us to reliably and accurately test the seal integrity of the pouches coming off our new packing line. I was already aware of the bubble emission testing method as I had witnessed it at other manufacturing plants. So, knowing that this was the solution that I required, I contacted three potential suppliers. Immediately I was impressed with Kevin’s commitment to our enquiry. They were more than willing to provide us with a demonstration, which proved to be very useful and throughout the process, they displayed excellent customer service and were extremely professional and knowledgeable. I am really pleased with the quality and usability of the LeakVIEW. It has enabled us to understand how our pouches perform in a range of conditions and we are now confident that the pouches we are supplying to our customers are of a very high standard. I would have no hesitation in recommending Kevin and the Dynascan brand.” Read more.
“We have been very impressed throughout the process. We found the team to be very professional and knowledgeable and we had complete confidence in them. They took the time to come out to us to understand our processes and requirements and to provide us with a demonstration of the LeakVIEW, which proved to be invaluable. The delivery time was prompt and they even came to install the product, provide us with training and make sure that we were 100% comfortable using both the LeakVIEW and the Tersano Lotus Pro. Using the two products together means that not only are we confident that our grated cheese will remain fresh, but the testing process is 100% hygienic. We are pleased with both of the products and we cannot fault their customer service and support.” Read more.
“As a manufacturer of various snacks and crisps it is very important for us that we have the ability to measure and control the moisture and oil content as both can dramatically affect product quality, shelf-life and ultimately our reputation. Traditionally, we have always relied on established moisture balance and Carver press methods, but these methods can prove to be very time-consuming. We now favour the NDC Technologies’ InfraLab food analyzer, which has revolutionised our quality checks by making them faster and more frequent. We have found the InfraLab very easy to use and we have found the ability to keep data for quality audits invaluable. We have always been very impressed with Kevin Goodison’s level of service and we have appreciated him taking the time to visit us and assist us with new technologies and training etc.” Read more.
We believe our customers should deal with an expert from the point of enquiry to project completion.
