There is more to it than sorting for\u00a0quality control<\/strong>\u00a0in\u00a0hazelnut production<\/strong>. An important aspect is making sure the highest quality is obtained by\u00a0checking moisture levels<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

Maintaining a constant\u00a0moisture<\/strong>\u00a0level\u00a0<\/strong>in the production of hazelnuts,\u00a0\u00a0helps to ensure that the product is neither too wet nor too dry.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

This is the only way to ensure a delicious tasting product!<\/p>\n\n

Therefore, the producer can\u00a0 provide a high-quality product while being highly profitable, and the\u00a0food processing industries<\/strong>\u00a0will be able to obtain hazelnuts with adequate properties to make\u00a0delicious end products<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

How is controlling the levels of moisture in the hazelnut production possible?<\/h2>\n\n

There are different things a producer must do to achieve and maintain those desired levels of moisture.<\/p>\n\n

A common practice among hazelnut producers is to control quality<\/strong> in a dedicated department<\/strong>, where humidity levels are measured via a Hygrometer<\/strong>, specifically a Hygrometer for materials and cereals<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, such as our model SA7825G.<\/p>\n\n

Measuring moisture accurately\u00a0allows the producer to determine the relative humidity (RH) in percentage values<\/strong>. These values can then be compared with the quality standards to make sure the product has the desired moisture level.<\/p>\n\n

Moisture control with Sarilar<\/h2>\n\n

Sarilar Dis Tic Ltd Sti<\/a>\u00a0is a\u00a0Turkish<\/strong>\u00a0company devoted to providing their customers with the highest quality hazelnuts.<\/p>\n\n

To accomplish their mission, they\u00a0have evolved<\/strong>\u00a0from a simple unprocessed hazelnut trading business into a\u00a0high-tech processed hazelnut manufacturer<\/strong>. Their current factory is capable of\u00a0selecting, calibrating and cracking the nuts without any human hands involved.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Some of the staff from the\u00a0 SAMA Tools Group visited\u00a0the factory to see<\/strong>\u00a0the whole production process first-hand<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

Emre Sari, our contact within the company, proudly gave us a tour to show us how they work.<\/p>\n\n

Their facilities are obviously equiped with\u00a0a quality control lab<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

In their lab,\u00a0they take check their hazelnuts with sizes ranging from 9 \u2013 11 mm., 11 \u2013 13 mm., and 13 \u2013 15 mm<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

To ensure the high quality of their hazelnuts, they constantly monitor the humidity level, using our SAMA Tools\u00ae brand hygrometer.<\/p>\n\n

Furthermore, Sarilar<\/strong> has taken the role of supplier<\/strong> of SAMA Tools\u00ae brand<\/strong>, providing these hygrometers to its customers in Turkey, for the quality control of their final products.<\/p>\n\n

5 benefits of monitoring the humidity in hazelnut production.<\/h2>\n\n

At this point, it is clear that\u00a0controlling the level of moisture<\/strong>\u00a0of the hazelnuts\u00a0is significantly important for the quality of the product<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

Now, the question is how is the quality of a hazelnut affected by having the wrong moisture levels. And this can be easily explained by the following benefits that are also obtained when the levels are controlled:<\/p>\n\n
