MoistTech to Showcase Advanced NIR Moisture Measurement Solutions at SNX 2026

MoistTech Corp, the global leader in moisture measurement and control, will participate in SNX 2026, taking place March 29–31, 2026, in Dallas, Texas. As a premier Education and Collaboration Forum for the snack industry, SNX provides an ideal venue for MoistTech to connect with snack manufacturers seeking to improve quality, efficiency, and consistency across their production lines.
 

IR-3000 series and real-time moisture control

During SNX 2026, MoistTech will highlight its IR-3000 series of online sensors and at-line instruments designed for instant, non-contact moisture measurement of snack foods and related ingredients throughout the manufacturing process.

Moisture plays a critical role in determining product texture, taste, color, density, and shelf life, making accurate, real-time moisture control a key factor in meeting stringent quality and consistency standards for snack producers. MoistTech’s NIR technology also offers the capability to monitor additional parameters such as coating weight, oil, and fat/protein content, providing snack manufacturers with deeper insight into product performance and process optimization.
 

Integration, efficiency and support

MoistTech’s sensors are engineered for easy integration over conveyors, in chutes, bins, and other conveying systems used in snack production and packaging. 

By providing continuous, real-time moisture data, the IR-3000 enables operators to adjust dryer temperatures, product flow rates, and other critical process variables to maintain ideal moisture levels and minimize waste. The system’s non-drift optical design, one-time calibration, and zero-routine-maintenance requirements help reduce downtime and lower the total cost of ownership for busy snack manufacturing facilities.

At SNX 2026, MoistTech will be available for focused one-on-one meetings with snack brands and co-manufacturers through the event’s Supplier Suites and Experience Zone, supporting strategic discussions around process improvement, energy savings, and yield optimization. By incorporating NIR moisture measurement into a closed-loop control strategy, snack manufacturers can achieve tighter process control, reduce reliance on time-consuming manual sampling, and significantly improve overall equipment effectiveness.

MoistTech’s team will share real-world application insights for snack foods, ingredients, and packaging lines, illustrating how continuous moisture monitoring can drive both product quality gains and measurable profitability improvements.
