Tiger Nuts

Moisture & Oil Measurement

Overview

Tiger nuts (Cyperus esculentus) are small, almond-like tubers known for their naturally sweet flavor and high nutritional value. Rich in fiber, protein, and natural sugars, tiger nuts are used in a variety of food products, including flour, oils, milk alternatives, and snacks. They can be consumed raw, dried, roasted, or grated, depending on the desired end product.

Why Measure Moisture

The physical and mechanical properties of tiger nuts are directly influenced by their moisture content, making precise moisture measurement a critical factor in processing.

Quality Assurance

Enhanced product quality with consistent sweetness and texture.

Safety

On conveyors, hoppers, or silos for process-wide moisture control.

RECOMMENDED MEASUREMENT LOCATIONS

The on-line sensors can be installed at the dryer inlet and outlet to monitor moisture removal efficiency, on conveyors, hoppers, or silos for process-wide moisture control, and connected directly to a PLC or external display for instant data visibility.

Typical measurement accuracy is ±0.2% moisture, with no need for routine recalibration or maintenance. MoistTech’s optical design ensures reliable, repeatable readings regardless of material variations such as color, density, or particle size.

Installing MoistTech’s IR-3000 Series NIR moisture sensors allows continuous, non-contact moisture analysis throughout the drying process. These sensors provide real-time measurements that enable line operators to make instant process adjustments, ensuring consistent and accurate drying results.
