Agriculture – Grain Moisture Sensors
Whilst processing cereal crops, nuts, and pulses, moisture measurement can take place in several stages, such as raw material intake, conditioning, drying, milling/grinding, and packaging.
Measuring the moisture allows the producer to optimise milling and grinding performance, reduce the amount of energy required to dry the material and ultimately improve the shelf-life and consistency of the final product.
