Application Case | Precise Moisture Control for Better Brewing—Application of the GY1000 Non-Contact Infrared Online Moisture Analyzer in the Fermentation Process of Distillers' Grains

2025-09-12

01 Application Background

Application Focus: Measuring moisture content in distillers' grains to control the fermentation process.

In alcohol production, the moisture content of distillers' grains is a key parameter affecting fermentation efficiency and product quality. Traditional contact-based detection methods are not only inefficient and incapable of continuous online monitoring but also risk damaging samples and compromising raw material quality. Moreover, the delayed data feedback prevents timely adjustments in the production control process, leading to lagging process optimization that ultimately impacts the aroma and yield of the liquor.

GY1000 Online Non-Contact Infrared Moisture Analyzer adopts a non-contact, non-destructive, real-time dynamic detection mode, overcoming the efficiency limitations and sample damage issues associated with traditional methods. With a high-speed response time of 25ms, it can capture moisture changes in real-time during the conveying and mixing of distillers' grains and instantly feed accurate data back to the production control system, enabling rapid adjustment of fermentation conditions.

03 Product Introduction

GY1000 Non-Contact Infrared Online Moisture Analyzer

Real-time online measurement of material moisture content; a non-contact, non-destructive, real-time dynamic online testing system.
Utilizes a PBS infrared detector for enhanced temperature stability.
Features a replaceable, ultra-long-life halogen tungsten light source with higher luminous efficiency.
4-wavelength, 8-beam optical path technology ensures more accurate and stable results.

In the complex production environment of distilleries, the GY1000, with its IP65 protection rating and stainless steel housing, operates stably under conditions such as high humidity and dust, ensuring all-weather online performance. Its unique 4-wavelength, 8-beam optical path design effectively eliminates interference caused by variations in the surface condition of distillers' grains. The measurement accuracy is better than 0.3% (absolute average value), with a repeatability of less than 0.1%, far exceeding industry standards. Equipped with a PBS infrared detector, dynamic dark current correction, and digital filtering technology, the GY1000 reliably outputs accurate data even in high-temperature and high-humidity environments.

GY1000 is available in two models: high moisture content (GY1000-H) and standard moisture content (GY1000-L), covering different fermentation stages of distillers' grains from wet to semi-dry. With a high-definition touchscreen for real-time display and 30-day data storage functionality, operators can easily trace the process history. It supports Ethernet, Modbus TCP communication, or 0-20mA analog signals for integration with other industrial equipment, enhancing production intelligence.

In practical applications, the GY1000 has not only significantly improved the efficiency and accuracy of moisture detection for distilleries but also reduced manual testing costs and raw material waste. Precise moisture control ensures each batch of distillers' grains ferments under optimal conditions, producing a more consistent and aromatic final product.

Make good use of this "key light" to usher farmland management into the era of precision.
