The exact moisture content determines product quality, texture, shelf life and processing weight. Traditional control methods were reaching their limits in responding to natural fluctuations in raw materials and subtle changes in process conditions in real time. Deviations from the target moisture content cost yield and energy.
We have developed intelligent models for dynamic and predictive humidity control based on continuous sensor data. Instead of readjusting, the target value is maintained proactively - across all raw material batches and process conditions.
- Improved product quality and consistency
- Increase in production yield
- Reducing energy consumption and production costs
- Greater process stability and extended product shelf life
