The Impact Of Moisture Analysers In Quality Control

For those individuals that are not acquainted with industrial processes and the importance of ensuring that the final product keeps up with the ever increasing and changing quality controls that have to be enforced, it may be quite interesting to learn that moisture analysers play an important role in most industries.

Before the tin of paint reaches the shelves of the warehouse, before the dog food bags is delivered to vet's and pet shops, before you can enjoy a package of potato chips or sip a delicious cup of Jamaican coffee or before the pharmacist is able to sell you that pain killer, the different manufacturers involved had to make a thorough control of the manufacturing process of the different products in order to be sure that the medicine, the coffee, the potato chips and the paint meets the quality standards set up by each and every industry. And in that control, moisture analysers are essential.

Some chemical components present in certain medicines are highly sensitive to excessive humidity and this is why labs and pharmaceutical facilities need to rely on humidity sensors in order to determine if the environment is too wet. If it is, then adjustments have to be made in order to prevent humidity from reducing or altering the healing properties of the chemical compounds.

Something similar occurs with the paint industry. In order to be able to provide great coverage, it is very important for the components used to make paint to be in a moisture balanced environment. If the environment is too wet or too dry, then paint may not adhere properly on to walls or the tints used may not deliver the desired color.


Food industry, both for humans and for pets, is also an important user of moisture analysers. They help manufacturers determine the most appropriate humidity level for the food product they are producing in order to ensure that they taste yummy and that they look and feel attractive to the eye and nose as well.

Moisture analysers are highly sensitive devices that can measure the humidity content of an item in order to allow operators at factories determine if any adjustment needs to be made. In general, factories rely on more than one humidity sensor depending on how complex their manufacturing process is. In each step, a sample is taken and weighed. Then it is introduced in the moisture analyser where it is dried up to determine its moisture content. Then the sample is weighed again and checked against the industry standards.
