In many industries, businesses operate under the belief that they are merely selling commodities—generic products where price competition is fierce and margins are thin. This mindset often leads to cost-cutting measures, particularly in areas like safety and maintenance, under the assumption that such expenses harm the bottom line. However, this approach overlooks a critical factor: efficiency is not just a cost center, it's a significant driver of profitability, even—or especially—in commodity-driven sectors.

There aren’t many industries that rely on the exact precision and attention to minute detail the way that the pharmaceutical industry does. Each aspect of the production process and every single product has to be created with impeccable accuracy. This, of course, is critical, as too much or too little of a particular substance can have major implications for the efficacy, strength, and safety of a drug. 

A composition analyzer can be a crucial instrument in any lab or production line setting, testing the makeup, efficacy, and quality of products, and evaluating all kinds of constituents besides moisture, including:

Paper and wood products are important parts of our everyday lives. We build our homes with wood, and gather around wooden tables.  We publish novels with paper and we even create lifelong memories at gatherings with easy clean-up, thanks to products like paper plates and napkins. 

Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of working with a broad range of clients, serving industries that range from agriculture to pharmaceuticals, polymers and plastics, and beyond. In that time, we’ve discovered a myriad of ways to ensure that the instruments we provide our customers are not only precise, high-quality, and built to last, but also that they are uniquely suited to their needs. 

Oats are a dietary staple in many areas of the world. We consume them in foods like oatmeal and oat flour, and even in baked goods such as cookies, granola bars, and bread. 

While it may not be the first or even the second crop that most Americans think of when they think of farms across the United States, rice farmers across the country sustainably grow 20 billion pounds of rice each year in some states, including:

Are you in the business of researching, developing or making… just about anything?

Chances are, no matter what industry you’re in, a composition analyzer can add accuracy and precision to your work and create a top-quality product that’s free from harmful contaminants or flaws.

What would you do with a compass that didn’t point toward true north? Or a watch that never told the correct time? Or a car speedometer that told you that you were driving faster or slower than you actually were?

No matter how high caliber your moisture meter (or composition meter) is, an instrument is only as strong as its calibrations. There’s a lot riding on getting a correct reading: Concrete foundations can crumble, stored grain harvests can spoil, pharmaceuticals can degrade or become toxic.
