When soy, rapeseed and sunflower oil seeds are fresh from the field, they often have too high a moisture content. They need to be dried and checked carefully before being stored in large silos for processing. The amount of oil obtained during pressing is strongly dependent on the moisture content of the seeds or beans. So you don't want to store oil seeds too moist or too dry. With the TEWS moisture analyzer, you can measure the moisture deep into the core of oil seeds and not, as with other techniques, mainly at the surface. This ensures that you have a nice stock and the most oil during pressing.
