The MoistScan microwave moisture analyser has proven to be very
useful within the Sugar Industry. Callidan Instruments is
located in the heart of Australia’s sugar industry and has
succeeded in applying the gauge to both prepared cane and
bagasse applications.
Typically theMoistScan®
MA-500obtains an
instrument precision of 0.6% for products which have a moisture
range of 25% - 40%. Applications for the MoistScan® moisture
meter include:
• Moisture control for prepared sugar cane
• Plant feedback by analysing moisture content of crushed cane
(bagasse)
