FOOD
- Moisture Measurement & Control
With the help of
food industry partners and 30 years of knowledge and experience, MoistTech
has developed online and lab moisture sensors for the analysis of food
moisture measurement and control in all types of eatable products.
Using both NIR (near infrared) and RF (radio frequency), MoistTech has
thousands of installations in a wide variety of food products, from slurries
to powders. While moisture is our major focus, we also supply analyzers
for the continuous online measurement of protein, fat / oil, sugar, caffeine
and other constituents / elements that absorb the NIR beam.
The most experienced personnel in near
infrared technology have developed the MoistTech 3000 online sensor for
the analysis of food moisture measurement and control. Thousands
of installations measuring moisture in all types of food products, from
slurries to powders using both NIR (near infrared) and RF (radio frequency)
make MoistTech the company of choice for your online and lab instrumentation
requirements. |

While moisture is our major focus we supply
analyzers for continuous online measurement of protein, fat / oil, sugar,
caffeine and other elements that absorb in the NIR. No other sensor
can match the accuracy and sensitivity of the MoistTech product line.
