Moisture in Corn Flour
2026-07-01
Moisture content of corn meal or flour needs to be kept below a certain percentage in order to prevent spoiling within the storage bins. Typically, moisture levels should not exceed 14% for the coarsely ground material, and 10% for the fine flour.
Corn Refining Process
Corn Dry Milling grinds corn into grits, meal, flour and bran. Corn is tempered with the addition of water before passing through a Beall Degerminator which breaks open the kernel, separating the endosperm, germ and pericarp (bran). Through the use of aspirators, gravity tables, sifters and dryers, the different sized particles are separated and graded into grits, meal and flour.
Measurement Location
Choice of measurement location is dictated by the process and the conveying mechanisms. Ideally, on-line moisture measurements are made prior to, or soon after the dryer so corrective action can be quickly implemented. Often the moisture measurement can be used directly in closed loop control. If this is not feasible, measurement can be made prior to the storage bins.
Gauge Installation
On-line gauges cannot be installed in pneumatic ducts successfully, but they can be configured to view product in a gravity chute or screw conveyors. If the product volume is low or the flow is discontinuous, a powder sampler is advisable, otherwise a viewing window or a sample probe can be used.
Measurement Performance
| Measurement | Location | Target | Typical Accuracy |
| Moisture in meal | Exit of screw conveyor | 12-14% | 0.3% |
| Moisture in flour | Exit of screw conveyor | 8-10% | 0.3% |
