Tortillas & Tortilla Chip Moisture
Quality Control Solutions
When it comes to tortillas and flat bread, quality is determined based on a few factors: the cell structure, opacity, pliability, appearance, texture and eating quality. MoistTech provides solutions to assist you achieve the highest quality standard from incoming ingredients to the finished goods that are packaged and sent to your customers.
Near-infrared (NIR) technologies can be used by bakers either in the QA lab or at-line to analyze a full spectrum of moisture and compositional characteristics of flours used to craft exceptional tortillas and flatbreads. Many trusted calibrations exist for a variety of flour types and dry yeast to help bakers control important parameters that can impact the quality of your product.

Control Moisture Levels Properly
MoistTech provides quality control solutions to assist manufacturers in achieving the highest quality standard from incoming ingredients to the finished goods that are packaged and sent to customers. Used directly on the production line or in the QA Lab, manufacturers can analyze the moisture content of their tortillas, corn or flour and tortilla chips.
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!
Proper Solutions
With outstanding customer service, we provide the right solutions the first time for your moisture measurement and control needs – don’t waste time or money with various NIR sensors that continuously have calibration and drifiting issues.
MoistTech is very experienced with the requirements in the production of tortillas, many forms of flour as well as tortilla/corn chips and snack foods. Our sensor calibrations, measurement wavelengths, algorithms and sensor optical requirements are pre-set at the factory. Typical accuracy is about ±0.1% moisture. Typical analog range is 0-10% moisture. The outputs can be adjusted to optimize PLC or recording requirements.
Assess
Locate the point in the production process in which measuring moisture will be the most crucial and beneficial. Identify how you will use the moisture measurement data for improvements and if it will tie into your PLC.
Remember this could involve more than one installation point!
