Tobacco Blend Moisture
Mastering the Blend
MoistTech’s on-line near infrared (NIR) analyzers have proven to perform well even in harsh tobacco processing conditions. These analyzers enable rapid and continuous measurement of moisture. In the case of NIR technology, operators can also gather data on other important tobacco parameters such as nicotine levels, sugar content, and product temperature.
With the help of on-line NIR technologies, every stage of the tobacco blending process can be accurately measured and controlled. These systems also facilitate closed loop control of tobacco dryers and conditioning cylinders, ensuring a high level of accuracy. This not only improves the brand value in a competitive market but also meets consumer expectations.
Obtain Instant Moisture Data Now!
While processing tobacco leaves, each type requires specific levels of moisture at certain intervals to get a desirable end product. MoistTech tobacco blend moisture sensors are without a doubt the ideal instruments for measuring and regulating moisture levels in your tobacco. They can measure moisture to within tenths of a percent.
Our instruments are designed to measure moisture and other levels of any variety of tobacco, including lamina and stems. With our instant non-contact measuring capabilities, MoistTech’s sensors are engineered to improve product quality and optimize the production process.
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?
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 a tenth of a percent.
Installation of the Model 828 provides manufacturers with exceptionally accurate and precise tobacco moisture measurement and control protocols. It can 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!
