5 Reasons to adopt moisture measurement for your grain!
Why do you need to measure moisture?
Many factors will affect the moisture level in the raw grain product; how it is stored, humidity in the atmosphere, the variety of the grain and also its particle size.
All of these will have a contributing factor in the amount of moisture that either needs to be added or removed during the grain handling processing.
Hydronix sensors successfully measure moisture in all types of grain, whole kernel corn, wheat or maize as well as cut maize and flaked oats.
5 reasons to adopt moisture measurement for your grain production:
- Reduce costs with less spoiled material and less downtime.
- Use colour, and additives more efficiently.
- Increase production by automating your processes and reducing waste.
- Dry at the appropriate rate to improve the quality and consistency of your final product.
- Dry only for the required time, reducing energy use.
