Overview

Accurate moisture control is a critical component in the rice production process, directly impacting product quality, energy consumption, and profitability. Improper moisture levels can result in excess drying costs, spoilage during storage, reduced milling yield, and loss of product weight and quality. MoistTech’s advanced NIR moisture sensors provide real-time, non-contact measurement to ensure consistent quality throughout the drying, milling, and packaging stages.

RECOMMENDED MEASUREMENT LOCATIONS

Above Conveyor Belts During Drying

Used to monitor rice moisture during the drying process and prevent over- or under-drying.

At the Mill Outlet

Used for product verification after milling.

In Storage or Packaging Lines

Used for final quality control before storage or packaging.

Moisture data is displayed on an external monitor or PC, allowing for manual or automated process adjustments to maintain consistent quality. The IR-3000 provides continuous, non-contact moisture analysis with instant, repeatable results and seamless PLC integration.
