Chewing Tobacco Moisture

What Are You Currently Using?

Traditionally, the analysis of tobacco quality has been a time-consuming and labor-intensive task. Operators would have to manually extract samples from their production line and send them to a lab or a third party for evaluation. However, MoistTech offers advanced solutions for tobacco analysis that allow producers to quickly analyze their products at a molecular level. This ensures that the final product is of top quality and reduces waste from batch to batch. Moisture plays a crucial role in tobacco processing. It not only affects the smoking quality of the tobacco, but also its storage properties, “filling properties,” tobacco wastage, and machinability.

Producing moist, high quality chewing tobacco demands exact measurements from start to finish. When producing chewing tobacco in loose leaf, plug, or twist varieties, moisture levels in the tobacco must be monitored and regulated to create blends with ideal tastes and consistencies.

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 is the Solution?

Installation of the Model 828 provides manufactures exceptionally accurate and precise tobacco moisture measurement and control protocols. It is able to accurately measure to within 0.1% on many applications – resulting in improved product quality and significant cost savings.

Dryer control is the most sensitive area of the tobacco process. Thousands of kilos per hour are processed where volume, temperature and input moisture vary. The MoistTech model 828 tobacco moisture sensor provides the user with the ability to monitor and control this process to within tenths of a percent.

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!

Support

MoistTech’s experts will assess your specific application with lab tests, calibrations and accuracy results to ensure our equipment will peform for you. All of our sensors are pre-calibrated prior to being shipped to create a plug-and-play operation for the end-user.
