PCE-WAM 10 Water Activity Meter – For Food QA/QC & R&D in Canada

The PCE-WAM 10 is a compact, high-speed water-activity (a₍w₎) meter engineered specifically for food-industry QA/QC and R&D labs. It delivers accurate measurement of “free” water in food materials—a critical factor affecting microbial growth, shelf life, formulation stability and regulatory compliance. With a measurement range up to 1.00 a₍w₎ and rapid measurement time, it’s suitable for both production-floor checks and lab analysis.

Key Benefits for Your Operation

• Enables rapid in-line or bench testing of raw materials, finished goods and packaged products, reducing downtime and inspection bottlenecks.

• Helps mitigate microbial risk and extend shelf life by verifying water-activity levels that correlate with microbial growth thresholds.

• Compact and portable: ideal for QA environments, pilot-scale production or field inspection use.

• Canadian-based support and calibration services reassure specification-governed buyers that compliance and servicing are local.

Typical Use Cases

• QA/QC of incoming raw ingredients (powders, granules, blends) to verify consistent water-activity levels before production.

• Shelf-life and stability R&D: determine formulation behaviour and microbial growth risk across water-activity levels.

• On-line inspection of packaged food products or semi-finished goods to ensure compliance with internal or regulatory shelf-life/safety criteria.

• Portable deployment for pilot plants, satellite labs or on-site production environments where equipment moves between stations.
