What are the methods for controlling finished product moisture?
Control of finished product moisture
The moisture at my factory is quite high right now!! The feed conversion ratio is poor! Could everyone please share how to properly control the moisture of the finished product?
--------------------------------------
1. Check the steam quality and whether the steam trap is working,
2. Whether the raw materials are inspected and qualified upon arrival at the factory,
3. Whether the cooling air volume is sufficient; after cooling, the material temperature should be no more than 2° higher than the indoor temperature,
4. Uneven conditioning, with some material over-gelatinized; check the conditioner blades,
These are suggestions based on my personal work experience, not research theory; I hope they are helpful.
--------------------------------------
First analyze what factors affect finished product moisture, and only then can you consider how to control each one: such as raw material moisture, conditioning moisture (the quality and quantity of conditioning steam, conditioning temperature), cooling time, cooling temperature, conditioning uniformity, mixing uniformity, etc.

Thank you! I will try it and see the results
