AQUALAB 3 OFFERS BENEFITS BEYOND 60 SECOND TOTAL MOISTURE ANALYSIS
AQUALAB 3 is the latest instrument in Meter Foods’ AquaLab range, offering 60 second ‘Total Moisture’ readings, as well as cloud-based non-tamperable data storage and reporting, and a web interface that allows management and reporting from any device, at any location.
AquaLab 3 is distributed exclusively in Australia by Graintec Scientific. The instrument’s rapid 60 second Total Moisture analysis reports both water activity and moisture content results. It allows users control of product quality and production efficiency in their manufacturing processes, even for products containing volatile compounds.
Production issues such as low yield, batch rework, overpackaging, slow product release cycles and process variability can often be improved with more readings and fast accurate moisture measurement. Quality issues such as undesired textures, moisture migration and mould or microbial growth can also be eliminated.
AquaLab 3 also comes connected to Meter’s Skala platform, offering the significant benefits of data security, user and device management, flags for out of spec product, as well as easy and comprehensive reporting.
In addition to the non-tamperable data storage, multiple devices can be connected to Skala across multiple sites, giving a global management view. Legacy AquaLab instruments can also be connected to the platform to realise these same benefits.
The combination of AquaLab 3 and Skala adds significant value to quality and production teams by speeding up readings, automating record keeping and reporting and giving a single interface to manage and oversee multiple devices and locations.
