Add MoistTech’s ir3000-F moisture sensor
Collecting moisture and oil measurements during snack food production can offer several benefits. When moisture and oil data are available in real time, the operator can make adjustments quickly to resolve any issues. This leads to improved product quality, less waste and more satisfied customers.
The IR-3000F features plug-and-play technology, so it can be placed wherever it is needed throughout the line. In almost all food production lines, the ideal location will be before and after the drying process.
Importance of moisture measurement in production
Measuring moisture and oil during chip processing is critical to product quality. Having too much or too little moisture and oil can drastically impact production and quality. By continuously monitoring moisture and oil content, line personnel can avoid downtime and product waste. Moisture variability can degrade product quality in ways beyond simple weight and texture changes, including accelerating chemical reactions, promoting microbial growth and impacting shelf life. Excessive moisture can also lead to problems, such as sticking, uneven curling or drying and reduced functionality, especially in powders and mixtures used to create snack foods.
Constructed of cast aluminum IP65 nema 4 rated, it is ideal for food applications
Monthly energy costs have the potential to reach thousands of dollars. By monitoring moisture, it can greatly improve those costs by utilizing the dryer at optimal temperatures and periods of time. During the potato chip manufacturing process, it is important to know the moisture and oil content after the fryer/oven outlet, as it can have a drastic effect on quality, consistency, taste, appearance, stability and shelf life. Boost the quality of your snack food production with a moisture measurement sensor. The IR-3000F collects data on moisture and oil content to ensure the product is at optimal levels.
