To prevent the occurrence of food poisoning, which is a common issue in the food industry, it is essential to accurately measure the water activity (free water). Measuring only with a moisture meter does not adequately assess both free water and bound water, so even if the moisture value is low, it cannot be said that sufficient measurement has been achieved. So why can using a water activity measurement device resolve the issues associated with measuring only with a moisture meter? This technical document addresses such questions! 【Contents】 ■ Why measure water activity? ■ Problems with using only a moisture meter ■ What can be done with a water activity measurement device ■ Voices from companies that have introduced water activity measurement devices - Soy sauce industry - Chocolate industry - Meat products industry - Seafood processing industry *You can view the technical document for free by clicking "Download" below!

Lauda's automatic dynamic viscosity measurement PVS In the production and recycling of polycarbonate (such as CD-ROMs) and polymethyl methacrylate (such as plexiglass), the IV value (intrinsic viscosity) plays an important role. Viscosity measurements of polymer solutions are also conducted in the production of raw material pellets. Lauda's dynamic viscosity measurement system can be configured with up to 8 measurement stands equipped with an automatic cleaning function, and the injection of sample solutions into the viscosity tubes can be performed either automatically or manually. This system allows for the measurement of a large number of samples with 24-hour operation. In cases where measurement frequency is low, it is also possible to build a system at an affordable price, with the option to add automation modules such as auto samplers later on.

Lauda's fully automatic dynamic viscosity measurement device PVS VAS In high-performance plastics, managing the viscosity number (Reduced Viscosity) is essential, and quality control of materials is conducted by understanding the polymer chain length. Lauda's dynamic viscosity measurement system can be constructed to minimize the handling of highly irritating, toxic, and corrosive solvent chemicals, contributing to the safety of operators. By establishing a fully automatic system, it is possible to automatically perform a series of operations from the automatic preparation of diluted polymer solutions, injection into viscosity tubes, viscosity measurement, to the cleaning and drying of viscosity tubes after measurement, demonstrating its effectiveness in routine work that requires efficient measurement of many samples, such as resin material evaluation for each batch.

AOM Systems' SpraySpy is a completely new spray droplet/spray particle measurement system that uses a unique pulse displacement method (Time-Shift technique). It has obtained international patents and can simultaneously measure the size, velocity, and particle density of opaque or non-spherical particles and high-density spray particles, which was difficult with existing technologies such as phase Doppler method or laser diffraction method. Additionally, since the laser emission and detection parts are the same for detecting backscattered light, it eliminates the need for complicated adjustments of the detection part's position.
