Moisture Meters for Food Products Quality Control

The MAC 116 features stainless steel construction with continuous welds and standard 2-inch sanitary clamp mounting that meets strict food industry compliance requirements. It also includes NEMA 4X waterproof design and IP66 rating to resist harsh cleaning chemicals used in food processing facilities.

Yes, the MAC 116 includes a built-in purge system that allows continuous operation during clean-in-place (CIP) procedures. This system maintains measurement capability while protecting internal components from cleaning chemicals and water exposure.

Moisture meters are essential for cooking meat and poultry products to ensure optimal yield and quality, food drying applications for consistent quality, pasteurization processes for steam flow control, and continuous conveyor ovens for consistent baking and cooking results.

The MAC 116 operates on 24V DC power with 2A maximum consumption, providing maximum safety in wet food processing locations. This low-voltage requirement ensures safe operation in environments with frequent water exposure and cleaning procedures.

The MAC 116 provides ±2% of %MV Full Scale accuracy for precise moisture control in food processing applications. This NIST traceable accuracy level enables manufacturers to maintain consistent product quality and meet regulatory requirements.

The MAC 116 can operate in process temperatures up to 700°F (370°C), making it ideal for high-temperature food processing applications such as cooking, baking, and pasteurization processes where extreme heat is common.

The MAC 116 has a response time of 120 seconds or less to reach 90% of final value, enabling real-time moisture control in production processes. This fast response allows operators to make immediate adjustments to maintain consistent product quality during continuous production.
