Bakery Dough Moisture Sensor
Have questions about our Moisture Sensors?

Having the correct bakery dough moisture levels has become
a critical component during the various stages of baked products.
Dough mixtures can easily become either too wet or dry wasting
manufacturer's time and money as well as impacting the quality
of the end product.
With the help of industry partners and 30 years of knowledge
and experience, MoistTech has developed the IR 3000 Bakery
Dough Moisture Sensor that is ideally suited to measure the
moisture levels in baking process.
Installation
The IR-3000 Bakery Dough Moisture Sensor should be mounted
several inches above the conveyor, at an angle to stop reflected
light, after the mixer and extruder will allow the user to
continuously monitor the process and can control the moisture
content either manually or automatically in the baking process.
The unique feature of the IR-3000 Bakery Dough Moisture Sensor
is that is able to monitor the process even with small gaps
in product flow without impacting the accuracy.
Environment
If the sensor has to be installed close to the mixer and extruder
where it will be susceptible to extreme heat conditions, it
is necessary to cool the sensor with either air or water.
Benefits
- improved product quality
- lower energy costs
- reduced start-up times
- less waste
- 100% product inspection
- less downtime
MoistTech is very experienced with the moisture
sensing requirements in the baking process. Our sensor calibrations,
measurement wavelengths, algorithms and sensor optical requirements
are pre-set at the factory. Typical accuracy is about ±0.2%
moisture. Typical analog range is 0-50% moisture. The outputs
can be adjusted to optimize PLC or recording requirements.
