Importance of Moisture Analyzers in the Tobacco Industry

A moisture analyzer is a measuring instrument used to measure the moisture of a material sample. The device is based on the emission of infrared waves by the material being measured. The infrared waves are absorbed by the water present in the material, and the device measures the amount of waves that are absorbed. From this measurement, the percentage of moisture in the sample can be calculated.

The advantage of using this equipment is that it is a non-destructive method of measurement. This means that it is not necessary to extract a sample of the material to measure its moisture. It is also a very accurate method, and instantaneous measurements can be obtained. Another benefit is that this type of device is very portable, which makes it ideal for use in the field.

Infrared moisture analyzers are used in a wide variety of applications, such as measuring the moisture of wood, soil, sand, cement, paper, etc. They are also used to monitor the drying process of materials, and can be found in many personal hygiene products such as towels and toilet paper.

Analyzer Performance

Moisture in tobacco is an important component of the final product, and the infrared analyzer is an effective tool for monitoring the moisture level. Most equipment uses a sensor that measures the amount of water in the air through the absorption of water vibrations. These sensors are available in different sizes and measuring ranges, and can be selected depending on the size and location of the area to be measured.

The analyzer is an accurate and reliable measurement tool for the tobacco industry, the sensor is sensitive to the presence of water in the air and the analyzer can measure humidity with an accuracy of ± 2%. The measurement range of the humidity sensor is 0 to 100% relative humidity, and the sensor size is 9 x 9 mm.

Importance of use

Good humidity control is vital to the tobacco industry. Most tobacco plants are dried in the open air, which means they are exposed to inclement weather. Humidity can affect the drying process and damage the tobacco. It is based on the absorption of infrared radiation by water.

The instrument measures the degree of absorption and, from this, calculates the percentage of moisture. The infrared moisture analyzer is very accurate and is able to measure the moisture content of tobacco with high precision. In addition, it is a very easy to use instrument. All that is required is to place a sample of tobacco in the device and press a button. The result is displayed on the screen within seconds.
