Olive Pulp & Pomace Moisture
Contact Us
Overview
Accurately measuring both moisture and oil content in olive pomace and pulp is vital for optimizing yield, ensuring product quality, and determining grower compensation. Since farmers are often paid based on these two parameters rather than simple weight, both olive producers and processors benefit from real-time, online measurements.
MoistTech’s IR-3000 Series Moisture and Oil Sensor provides continuous, non-contact monitoring that allows for instantaneous process adjustments, improving extraction efficiency, product uniformity, and energy savings.
Why Measure Moisture
Accurate, real-time moisture monitoring delivers multiple process and product benefits.
Quality Assurance
Energy Efficiency
Reduce Waste
Process Stability
RECOMMENDED MEASUREMENT LOCATIONS
Paste Entry to the Centrifuge/Decanter
Measures the moisture level in the olive paste prior to separation, providing feedback for process control.
Pomace Outlet from the Centrifuge/Decanter
Installed via a viewing window in the outlet pipe to monitor moisture in the discharged pomace.
Pomace within the Screw Conveyor
Ensures consistent moisture during transportation and prior to drying or disposal.
Understand the Process
MoistTech’s near-infrared sensors can store up to 50 different product codes/recipes, making it easy to switch calibrations when your product changes. Say goodbye to time-consuming lab trips; our online technology mounts directly on the production line, providing instant feedback for better control and efficiency in the olive oil production process and more.
