Here is a case study on measuring the moisture content of drinking yogurt. Drinking yogurt is mostly composed of water, as its appearance suggests. It is also known to have high levels of milk fat and sugar. When heat is applied, a film forms on the surface, making it difficult for only the moisture to evaporate, which is a typical characteristic of this sample. Therefore, an effective method is to utilize the "slow drying mode" function of the infrared moisture meter FD-720/800. By gradually raising the temperature over about 5 minutes to the set temperature, moisture can be evaporated slowly while making it difficult for a film to form on the surface and preventing burning during drying. [Case Summary] ■ Drinking yogurt: Approximately 3.0g ■ Slow drying mode [85℃ 0.05%] ■ Measurement result: 84.35% (Time taken: 28 min) *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Here is an example of moisture measurement for cream cheese. Generally, when a sample burns, moisture gets trapped inside, making it impossible to obtain an accurate overall moisture measurement. However, in the case of cream cheese, the moisture content is relatively high, so it does not burn even when exposed to high temperatures initially. Moreover, if it is evaporated slowly, it is likely that components other than moisture will also evaporate, making accurate measurement difficult. Therefore, an effective method is to utilize the "Rapid Drying Mode" function of the infrared moisture meter FD-720/800. By appropriately selecting the drying mode, it allows for moisture evaporation while preventing burning. [Case Overview] ■ Cream Cheese: Approximately 4.0g ■ Rapid Drying Mode [115℃ 2.0%] → [95℃ 0.05%] ■ Measurement Result: 53.30% (Time Required: 14.5 min) *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Here is a case study of measuring candy and caramel using the infrared moisture meter "FD-720." Sweet samples, meaning those with high sugar content, tend to burn quickly when exposed to high temperatures. The burnt parts form a film that makes it difficult for moisture to evaporate, trapping moisture inside and preventing accurate overall moisture measurement. On the other hand, at low temperatures, moisture evaporates slowly, and if there is no change in mass, the infrared moisture meter mistakenly assumes the measurement is complete, so some ingenuity is required here as well. An effective method is to utilize the "Step Drying Mode" feature of the infrared moisture meters FD-720/800. By appropriately selecting the drying mode, moisture can be evaporated while drying without burning. [Case Summary] ■ Candy: 1 piece (approximately 4g): Step Drying Mode - STEP1/115℃, 5min - STEP2: 110℃/AUTO 0.05%, 2.55% (8 minutes) ■ Caramel: 1 piece (approximately 5g): Step Drying Mode - STEP1/115℃, 5min - STEP2: 115℃/AUTO 0.05%, 5.80% (17.5 minutes) *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

This is a case study measuring the moisture content of "down" used in high-quality bedding and outerwear. As a characteristic of down, the moisture it contains maintains equilibrium. This means that depending on the humidity of the outside air, it can release or absorb moisture internally. Therefore, during transactions, the mass is based on the standard moisture content. If there is a difference in the standard moisture content, it could lead to trading water, even in high-quality down transactions, which becomes a significant issue. In this case, measurements were taken using the standard infrared moisture meter model "FD-720."

Here is an example of measuring the moisture content of rice using the infrared moisture meter "FD-720." If you measure the rice while it is still in a ball shape, only the surface moisture will evaporate and it will burn, trapping the internal moisture, making accurate moisture measurement impossible. This applies to all samples, but spreading the sample as flat and evenly as possible on the sample dish is a key point for accurate measurement. 【Case Overview】 ■Sample: 6.867g ■AUTO mode (0.05%) - Set at 130℃ ■Moisture: 58.25% ■Measurement time: 18 minutes *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The maturation of rice occurs when daily temperatures are measured from the heading date, and the cumulative value reaches approximately 1000°C, which is considered the peak and the optimal time for harvesting. Early harvesting of rice results in a high number of immature grains, while late harvesting poses a risk of panicle splitting. Harvesting at the right time guarantees the maximum yield and significantly contributes to improving quality. 【Features】 ■ Notifies the optimal harvesting time for rice based on cumulative temperature ■ Manages up to four fields within a 2 km radius with one unit ■ Comes with a sunshade hood and support poles *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
