Measuring in-line moisture in potato flakes and granulate
When processing potatoes into potato flakes and granulate, the removal of moisture is the most important process step. Moisture is controlled at tenths of a percent of the process to prevent loss of efficiency. By placing high-quality real-time, in-line moisture analyzers above the potato flake lines and/or, for example, below the potato granulate bunkers, the operator can immediately adjust the process. The temperature settings in the line can be adjusted, but also the residence time in the line, for example. The advantage of real-time or continuous measurement is that both waste and energy are reduced. In addition, a constant high-quality product quality can be guaranteed.
