Last time we talked about tribometers and how they're used to keep machinery and your employees safe. Below is a video demonstration some of the features of our H37 3D Portable Friction Tester.

Products and machines can wear, and then eventually wear out. Heavily used objects, like a safety strap, or the traction on a workboot can lose their friction, and eventually become slick or breaking. Additionally, the parts on a machine can wear as a result of too much friction, and the machinery can become dangerous. For these examples and many others, tribometers (friction meters) are an important way to maintain the proper amount of friction while still monitoring the amount of wear something has encountered.

Using a moisture meter removes so much guesswork and approximation from daily tasks. With accurate readings and reliable tools like the ones we offer, it’s easy to have more uniform results in everything from grain storage to papermaking to woodworking, and even food packaging and beauty products manufacturing.

The constant search for creating, successfully marketing, and selling the next big thing in the beauty industry is nothing new. Consumers desire products that not only look great, but feel great too, providing an extra confidence boost. One of the most effective ways to improve how a beauty product is perceived? Perfecting the sensory perception of a product through friction analysis.

Maintaining an acceptable moisture level is one of the most critical elements in successful grain storage. Anyone in the industry knows the importance of monitoring moisture and temperature, which is why good quality moisture meters are such vital tools.

Paper manufacturing is a complex industry involving an even more complicated process. With speedy time demands, little margin for error, and the necessity for a top-quality final product every time, you need exact measurements and precision at every step of the process.

Using a moisture meter that gives accurate readings, and is calibrated specifically for paper, is one of the best ways to ensure a good final product.

Investing in a quality, easy-to-use moisture meter can have a big impact on your business, but with seemingly countless options, choosing a moisture meter that is right for you can seem challenging. There are different types of moisture meters for different tasks, and each one has its own set of features and capabilities.

When you lease a Kett moisture meter, we can guarantee you’ll be cash-positive from day one. How?

Just like the vegetable crisper drawer in your refrigerator, creating the proper temperature and moisture levels for produce used on a commercial level can extend their life and save you money and protect you from ruined product. While fresher foods are known to have a higher vitamin content, they also last longer, which means they are saleable for a longer period of time, translating into less waste and more profit for you, the seller.

As the temperature drops -and then keeps dropping- it can cause more than just frozen pipes and dry skin. Brutally cold temperatures can have major effects on moisture as well. When specific amounts of moisture are vital to your line of work, this can quickly wreak havoc. Here’s how frigid air can affect moisture.
