Powdered Drink Moisture
Revolutionize Your Process
Incorporating moisture control in the production of powdered drinks is a vital quality control step. Maintaining low moisture content allows for optimal packaging, extending shelf life and preserving product quality. With the right low moisture content, powdered drinks can maintain their nutritive value even after years of room-temperature storage. This is especially critical for drinks like protein shakes, dietary beverages, and flavored drink mixes.
The typical target moisture content for powdered drinks falls within the range of 0.30% to 4.0%. Spray drying is the primary method used to achieve the desired moisture content in the industry. It involves atomizing the feed, facilitating spray-air contact, drying, and separating the dried product from the drying air.
Achieve consistent product quality and maximize process efficiency with MoistTech’s online sensor, providing real-time in-process moisture measurements for powdered drinks. Our advanced technology offers non-contact measurements of moisture, fat, and protein, giving process operators the confidence to control the intensive spray drying and cooling stages of turning liquid dairy concentrates into powder. By optimizing control, our sensor helps improve product quality and provides significant financial benefits through reduced energy costs and improved yields. Our versatile IR3000 moisture sensor is designed for single or multi-component measurements and can accurately measure fat, protein, and moisture in various powdered drinks:
- whole milk powder
- skimmed milk powder
- lactose powder
- whey powder
- fat-filled powder
- infant formula
- casein, and more
