DATASTOR SYSTEMS
Why Consider Moisture Monitoring? Our Clients’ reasoning • We were surprised how inconsistent our raw materials moisture levels were on delivery. • Ability to reinstate moisture after production losses, per formulation, per line. • To ensure we don’t supply finished product too moist, affecting product quality, customer dissatisfaction, product recalls. • Maximising energy efficient moisture extraction and fully compliant raw material quality when drying. • Concerned with ensuring the declared moisture levels were obtained and accurate. • Having changed raw materials, moisture levels were lower than our traditionally used products. • We thought we knew our moisture levels, incoming raw material and finished product well. Apparently from these trials, capturing data several times a batch we were somewhat short of the mark. Our company has built a strong reputation for software and
hardware innovation, high quality system design and services; this is evidenced with our accreditation to the Quality Management System BS. EN. ISO 9001:2008, held for over 25 years. As testament to our continuing development program we maintain lasting mutually beneficial technical partnerships with an array of manufacturers such as Allen Bradley, Döscher & Döscher etc. Please contact us at

HYDRONIX Moisture Management Technology by Hydronix The benefits of accurate moisture management are now widely accepted to clearly outweigh the investment for producers of animal feed. Monitoring moisture in raw materials, controlling water addition during mixing, drying and pelletizing processes and finally checking moisture of the finished product brings substantial benefits. Yields may be maximised, ingredients efficiently utilised, energy consumption reduced and a quality finished product ensured. This year, Hydronix is delighted to add 2 new moisture sensors,
designed specifically for the animal and pet food market, to their existing range. Using our unique and proven digital measuring technique, the Hydro-Mix HT is a high temperature sensor that will measure moisture in materials that have a process temperature of up to 120°C. This makes it ideal for installation before or after dryers or in mixing systems.

The Hydro-Mix XT is a digital moisture sensor designed to fit flush
with the internal surface of ducting. Installation is made simple with the use of our own ducting system which slots into existing ducting and positions the sensor in exactly the right position to achieve the best possible results. Both of our new sensors are unlike other systems available in the
market and comprise a single unit that contains all on-board functionality such as signal processing, smoothing and averaging. If you would like to know more about measuring moisture please contact Hydronix on 01483 468900, visit our website:
