SKZ is honored to be a trusted partner of The Coca‑Cola Company – a Fortune 500 leader whose commitment to quality begins long before the bottle is filled. From the corn used in high‑fructose syrup to the coffee beans for Costa Coffee and cocoa beans for chocolate‑flavoured beverages, moisture content is a decisive factor in flavour, shelf life, and processing efficiency. Too much moisture invites mould and spoilage; too little reduces yield and alters texture. That is why Coca‑Cola relies on the SKZ111B‑1 PRO portable grain moisture meter across its global supply chain. Every unit we deliver is backed by our unwavering promise: precision, durability, and service that turns a purchase into a partnership. Our latest shipment left in early 2026, and order volumes continue to rise as more facilities adopt our trusted solution.
The SKZ111B‑1 PRO is pre‑programmed with calibration curves for 33 different grain and seed types – one of the most extensive libraries in its class. Critically, this includes coffee beans and cocoa beans, two essential ingredients in Coca‑Cola’s expanding beverage portfolio. For cocoa beans, moisture must typically stay below 7.5‑8% to prevent enzymatic degradation and mould growth. For coffee beans, the safe storage threshold is around 11%. The SKZ111B‑1 PRO delivers fast, reliable readings that help Coca‑Cola’s suppliers and quality teams maintain these tight tolerances – ensuring that every batch meets the company’s exacting standards.
With a measuring range of 3‑35% moisture content, the SKZ111B‑1 PRO covers the vast majority of agricultural commodities – from low‑moisture oilseeds to higher‑moisture fresh grains. Whether it is corn for sweetener production, wheat for starch, or barley for malt extracts, the meter provides accurate results within seconds. This versatility makes it an indispensable tool at receiving docks, silos, and processing lines, enabling real‑time decisions that protect product quality and reduce waste.
Moisture readings are highly temperature‑sensitive – a factor that can introduce significant errors if ignored. The SKZ111B‑1 PRO features automatic temperature compensation, which adjusts the measurement in real time based on the sample’s ambient temperature. This eliminates the need for manual correction and ensures reliable results whether the grain arrives from a tropical farm or a temperate storage facility – a critical advantage for a global company like Coca‑Cola operating across diverse climates.
To maintain measurement integrity, the SKZ111B‑1 PRO includes a moisture correction when empty function. This allows operators to zero‑calibrate the instrument before each use, eliminating any drift or offset that might compromise accuracy. This simple but powerful feature gives quality teams confidence that every reading reflects the true moisture content of the sample – not instrument variability.
The SKZ111B‑1 PRO runs on 4 × 1.5V AA batteries – widely available worldwide – ensuring that testing can continue without interruption. For high‑volume facilities with continuous quality checks, the meter also supports plug‑in power, eliminating the worry of battery depletion during extended shifts. This flexibility means the instrument is always ready when you are.
For teams that prefer a guided, menu‑driven interface, the SKZ111B‑1 PRO is available with an optional menu version. Operators simply scroll through a list of 33 grain names, select the crop, and press measure – no lookup tables or cryptic codes required. This reduces training time and minimises operator errors, making moisture testing accessible even to temporary or rotating staff.
Coca‑Cola’s ingredient sourcing spans every continent, and the SKZ111B‑1 PRO is designed to perform reliably wherever it is deployed. Its robust construction, auto‑calibration features, and multi‑crop library ensure consistent results across borders – helping Coca‑Cola enforce uniform quality standards from supplier to bottling plant. As their global footprint grows, so does our partnership – one accurate measurement at a time.
Coca‑Cola’s continued trust in SKZ is the highest recognition of our commitment to quality. Our latest shipments of SKZ111B‑1 PRO meters have reached multiple Coca‑Cola sites, and demand is steadily increasing. At SKZ, our promise remains unchanged: laboratory‑grade precision, rock‑solid reliability, and service that goes beyond the sale. Together with The Coca‑Cola Company, we ensure that every coffee bean, cocoa bean, and grain meets the highest standards – safeguarding the taste and safety that billions of consumers trust every day.
