WHAT IS THE UmiMate MOISTURE METER FOR YERBA MATE?
The UmiMate moisture meter is a Marrari solution for measuring the moisture content of yerba mate after it passes through the dryer. Readings are taken in real-time through a flat sensor that assesses the total volume produced.
WHY USE UmiMate IN MY PRODUCTION LINE?
Because measuring the moisture of your material/product is essential to maintain its quality. For example: if yerba mate leaves the oven with high moisture, it can lead to problems with the exothermic effect during storage, resulting in unnecessary product loss.
In addition to ensuring proper yerba storage, the UmiMate in-line moisture meter ensures that the final product’s taste quality is excellent due to the correct process management.
Benefits of measuring yerba mate moisture during its production process:
- Product Quality: Enables precise moisture control, ensuring consistent yerba mate quality.
- Production Consistency: Helps maintain consistency throughout the production process, avoiding unwanted variations.
- Operational Efficiency: Allows real-time adjustments in the process, optimizing operational efficiency.
- Loss Reduction: Prevents raw material and ingredient losses, contributing to more economical and sustainable production.
- Proper Storage: Influences the stability and durability of the final product, avoiding storage problems.
- Regulatory Compliance: Facilitates compliance with specific regulations related to moisture content in food products.
- Production Cost: Contributes to cost reduction, avoiding ingredient waste and ensuring efficient resource use.
- Consumer Health: Ensures that the final yerba mate meets quality standards, promoting consumer health and satisfaction.
- Food Safety: Helps prevent food safety issues related to excess moisture, which could lead to the growth of unwanted microorganisms.
- Market Differentiation: Allows you to stand out in the market by offering a high-quality and consistent product.
- Traceability: Facilitates the tracking of the production process, quickly identifying variations and enabling immediate corrective actions.
- Continuous Improvement: Provides valuable data for analysis and continuous improvement of production processes.
- Customer Satisfaction: Contributes to customer satisfaction by delivering a reliable and high-quality product.
In summary, real-time moisture measurement in yerba mate production is crucial to ensuring a high-quality final product, operational efficiency, and compliance with regulatory standards, resulting in significant benefits for the industry.
HOW DOES UmiMate WORK?
A capacitive sensor is installed at a strategic point in the process so that the material passes over the sensor. Moisture content readings are continuous, and the entire product that passes through the system is evaluated. The signal generated by UmiMate can be used to control the dryer or generate alarms that guide the system operator.
HOW IS UmiMate SO ACCURATE?
It uses a recipe-based calibration method. In short: you use the Tracker (equipment that comes with the UmiChip) to collect samples throughout the day and compare them with the laboratory.
If there are discrepancies, you can go to the Tracker’s included software and update the values to match the laboratory assay, thus ensuring its accuracy.
