MoistTech Model 828 is specifically designed and calibrated for worldwide use for on-line tobacco moisture measurement and control. The 828 can improve product quality by preventing and/or quickly detecting production that is out of specification resulting in significant reductions in waste, energy and material costs.

The sensor can be in a stand alone or multi-sensor configuration. Communication to the sensor head(s) can be via laptop computer, PC based Touch Screen Operator Interface, remote infrared PDA, plant wide network by RS232/422/485 and Ethernet TCP/IP.
