Nicotine Moisture
How is Nicotine Moisture Measured?
The engineers at MoistTech have developed longstanding relationships with tobacco processors to not only better understand the demands of tobacco processing, but also to ensure that the instrumentation provided meets processor needs for measuring Nicotine Moisture. With more than 40 years experience serving the industry, MoistTech has developed non-contact measurement systems that outperform and outlast their competitors. Specifically for the tobacco processing industry, MoistTech developed the Model 828 tobacco moisture gauge. In addition to measuring tobacco moisture, this system accurately measures nicotine and other tobacco components.

Connections
The IR-3000 and Model 828 tobacco gauge are designed to communicate with your existing technology. Sensors can be connected via laptop, touch screen interface, or RS232/422/485 and Ethernet TCP/IP network protocols. In addition, new protocols are continually developed. The surface-mounted electronics are easily installed and utilize the most advanced software on the market. Contact us for specific information about how the communication protocols of the IR-3000 and Model 828 could be configured to integrate with your existing technology.
Dryer Control
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.
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.
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!
Develop
A closed loop process is achieved by incorporating a moisture measurement system into the manufacturing process. Developing a proactive solution to moisture control will avoid costly downfalls.
Support
