For each batch, it is essential to ensure that the quality of the product is correct so that the animals are fed a balanced nutritional diet optimised for their type and stage of development.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    \n\n    <div class=\"container-xl\">\n\t\t\n<p>For this reason, moisture sensors are often used in conjunction with a control system that manages the formulation parameters. Controlling and measuring the moisture enables the correct calibration for each of the different formulations. <\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    \n\n    <div class=\"container-xl\">\n\t\t\n<p>Moisture control is a key factor in ensuring the final feed is palatable, retains its nutrients, and is consistent.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    \n\n    <div class=\"container-xl pt-4\" id=\"benefits-of-moisture-control\">\n        \n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Benefits of Moisture Control<\/strong><\/h2>\n    <\/div>\n    \n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Improve nutritional consistency<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduce spoilage and waste<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improve shelf life<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Optimise pellet durability<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Increase plant efficiency<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduce process downtime<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n    <div class=\"container-xl pt-4\" id=\"where-to-measure-moisture\">\n        \n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Where to Measure Moisture<\/strong><\/h2>\n    <\/div>\n    \n\n    <div class=\"container-xl\">\n\t\t\n<p>Effective moisture control of the entire process requires the installation of online moisture measurement sensors in several different positions.<br>In Figure 1, the green arrows show suggested sensor locations. The numbers within the arrows relate to each point below:<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    \n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Measurement between raw intake and storage silos allows unsuitable incoming materials to be managed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ensures raw materials are correctly proportioned, compensating for varying moisture levels in stored material.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drying or Conditioning may be necessary in hot and\/or wet climates to increase the moisture of materials for milling, as dry material increases breakage and dust.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Measurement in the mixer allows the addition of water to ensure material is sent for conditioning and extrusion\/pelleting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The measurement at the input of a dryer can be used as a process variable for feed-forward control.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Measuring at the output of a dryer enables feedback control from the setpoint error.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Measuring at output of cooler prior to packing\/storage allows control of cooler parameters and a final quality control check prior to storage.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\"
