TOBACCO INDUSTRY APPLICATIONS Accurate moisture control has a strategic impact both in Primary and GLT processes: controlling blend moisture is critical to achieving the fastest making speeds and the target in-pack moisture content. With its very wide moisture range and multiple measurement points, the primary process demands instruments that can be applied in any location with minimal adjustment and that agree with the laboratory quality testing methods. In addition, the influence of process variables (such as product height variation), environmental variables (such as ambient lighting,...
