Catch Moisture Variation Before It Turns Into Waste, Downtime, or Quality Issues
HumiCore moisture measurement systems help plants monitor moisture in powders, pellets, granules, and other bulk solids. CMT helps evaluate your material, process location, and control goals so you can improve consistency and reduce guesswork.
Inline Moisture Measurement for Powders, Pellets & Bulk Solids
Moisture measurement helps plants understand and control one of the most important variables in dry bulk processing. Too much or too little moisture can affect flowability, product quality, weight, drying efficiency, storage stability, packaging performance, and customer acceptance.
Quality Control
Monitor moisture before off-spec material becomes a larger production or customer issue.
Process Consistency
Track moisture changes that can affect mixing, drying, conveying, packaging, and product performance.
Reduced Waste
Catch moisture variation earlier so operators can respond before product is wasted or reworked.
Better Process Data
Give operators and quality teams real information instead of relying only on grab samples or assumptions.
Moisture Problems Often Show Up as Flow, Quality, or Packaging Problems
Moisture variation can create hidden issues throughout a bulk material handling system. Materials may bridge, clump, cake, stick, dry out, become dusty, change weight, or fail quality checks. Inline moisture measurement helps identify those changes closer to the process.
HumiCore Moisture Measurement System
HumiCore provides moisture measurement for industrial bulk solids applications. The system can support better process visibility, product consistency, and quality monitoring when properly applied.
Monitor Moisture Where It Impacts the Process
HumiCore moisture sensors help monitor moisture content in-line or near critical process points. This gives operators better visibility into changes that can affect product flow, drying, quality, packaging, and downstream handling.
- Useful for powders, granules, pellets, ingredients, minerals, and other bulk solids
- Helps monitor product consistency and process performance
- Can support drying, blending, batching, and packaging decisions
- Provides valuable data for quality control and production teams
- Best selected after reviewing material, installation point, and process goals
Best For: Plants where moisture variation affects product quality, flowability, drying, or packaging performance.
Moisture Measurement Applications
Moisture monitoring can be valuable anywhere changes in water content affect material behavior, product quality, or process efficiency.
Inline Process Monitoring
Measure moisture near critical points in the process to catch variation sooner.
Drying Applications
Support dryer performance and identify moisture trends before product moves downstream.
Mixing & Blending
Monitor moisture variation that can affect blend consistency or batch quality.
Food & Ingredients
Track moisture in dry ingredients, powders, granules, and food processing materials.
Minerals & Aggregates
Improve visibility into sand, minerals, powders, and other industrial materials.
Packaging & Storage
Reduce issues caused by wet, sticky, dusty, caking, or inconsistent material.
How to Know If Inline Moisture Measurement Is a Good Fit
Moisture measurement is most valuable when moisture variation directly affects product quality, process efficiency, flowability, drying cost, weight, storage, or customer specifications.
Good Applications Often Include
- Moisture affects product quality or customer acceptance
- Drying performance needs better visibility
- Material flow changes when moisture changes
- Operators rely heavily on manual grab samples
- Moisture variation creates waste, rework, or downtime

Moisture Measurement FAQs
What is inline moisture measurement?
Inline moisture measurement monitors moisture near or inside the process instead of relying only on manual samples. This helps operators see changes faster and respond before quality or production issues grow.
What materials can be measured?
Common applications include powders, pellets, granules, ingredients, minerals, aggregates, feed materials, and other dry bulk solids. The specific material and installation point should be reviewed before selection.
Why does moisture matter in bulk solids?
Moisture can affect flowability, dust levels, caking, sticking, drying efficiency, weight, product quality, storage stability, and packaging performance.
Can moisture sensors connect to a PLC?
Yes. Depending on the system configuration, moisture measurement can be integrated with displays, PLCs, alarms, or process control systems.
Can CMT help determine the right installation location?
Yes. Installation location is critical. CMT can review your material, process, photos, and control goals to help determine whether the application is a good fit.
