Testing & Measuring Instruments for the Food & Beverage Industry
Food and beverage processing depends on tight control over moisture, shelf life, and storage conditions — a grain batch with excess moisture risks spoilage, and a cold storage excursion can compromise an entire shipment. Mextech supplies moisture, shelf-life, and temperature monitoring instruments used across food processing plants, packaging operations, and cold storage facilities.
Our food and beverage customers use Mextech instruments for raw material moisture testing, packaged product shelf-life verification, and cold chain temperature monitoring across processing and storage operations.

Technical guidance
support in choosing the right instrument for grains, powders, packaging materials, or liquid products
Moisture Testing for Grains, Ingredients & Packaging
Moisture content is one of the most closely controlled parameters in food processing — directly affecting shelf life, spoilage risk, and product consistency:
- Moisture Meters — for testing moisture in grains, flour, powders, and other raw ingredients at intake, with additional models suited to packaging material moisture checks
Shelf-Life & Water Activity Testing
Water activity is a key indicator of microbial stability and shelf life in packaged and processed foods:
- Water Activity Meter — for shelf-life and microbial-stability testing on packaged food and beverage products, a standard check for extending product shelf life safely
Cold Chain & Storage Temperature Monitoring
Consistent temperature control is critical for perishable food and beverage storage and transit:
- Data Loggers — for continuous temperature recording in cold storage, refrigerated transport, and warehouse monitoring
- Digital Thermometers — for routine spot-check verification of storage and process temperatures
- Infrared Thermometers — for fast, non-contact temperature checks during receiving and cold chain handling
- Digital Thermo Hygrometers — for combined temperature and humidity monitoring in storage warehouses and processing areas
Why Accurate Testing Matters for Food Safety
An inaccurate moisture reading or an undetected cold storage excursion doesn't just risk product quality — it can mean spoilage, waste, or a food safety incident. Mextech instruments are built to deliver consistent, dependable readings, and our team can help you select the right instrument for your specific raw material, product, or storage requirement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Moisture meters and water activity meters are the most frequently ordered instruments for food processing QA teams, alongside data loggers and digital thermometers for cold storage and warehouse monitoring.
A water activity meter measures the availability of water for microbial growth in a product, which is a stronger predictor of shelf life and spoilage risk than moisture content alone — commonly used by food processors to validate shelf-life claims on packaged products.
Yes. Mextech's moisture meters are commonly used to test grains, flour, powders, and other raw ingredients at intake, helping food processors catch excess moisture before it leads to spoilage or storage issues.
Yes. Mextech's data loggers and infrared thermometers are commonly used by food and beverage companies for continuous cold storage monitoring and spot checks during cold chain receiving and transit.
Yes. Mextech regularly supplies food and beverage processors with bulk and repeat orders for QA departments standardizing on a single instrument model across processing lines or storage facilities.
