Soybean Processing
Consistency, Quality & Efficiency
Soybeans are a versatile and vital commodity that offers many applications in food and feed production while being a great source of protein for humans and animals. From collecting insights on soil properties, and obtaining objective data on important compositional constituents for soybean processing, to measuring the quality of soybean flours for use in baked products. MoistTech provides end-to-end analysis solutions covering the full soybean production process.
Moisture control in soybean processing is critical to product quality and process optimization. MoistTech’s state-of-the-art moisture control sensor provides non-contact accuracy of +/- 0.1% in both online and laboratory units. An ideal moisture control system accurately detects the moisture levels at different stages of the process, is easily maintained and has the ability to withstand even the harshest of manufacturing conditions.
Optimize Quality Control
non-contact
Our equipment never comes into contact with the product, allowing for less waste
zero drift
Our sensors are guaranteed not to drift over time – which saves time and money
closed loop
Create a closed-loop process by tying a moisture sensor into your PLC. Full control over the line!
no recalibrations
We’ve mastered the art of moisture sensors – your unit will never need to be recalibrated for the same product twice!
What Benefits Do I Get?
MoistTech offers multiple sensor options to suit your specific needs including the standard IR-3000 series and food-grade series that is nickel plated to specifically allow for food environments where frequent wash downs occur and can protect from corrosion and abrasion.
- Improved Product Quality
- Lower Waste & Energy Costs
- Process Optimization
- Increased Plant Efficiency
- Dryer Control
- Reduced Downtime
Assess
Moisture measurement in the processing of soybeans should be measured at numerous stages during the process; before soybeans can be processed, they must be cleaned, dried and cracked. Typical moisture of the dried soybean is 8% and from there the cracked soybean is sent to the dehuller. Soy is compressed between rollers where the shells burst and kernels break up to several parts. Once moved to the air separator the husks are separated and kernels are fed to the extruder for heat and pressure.
