SKZ is honored to be a trusted partner of The Coca‑Cola Company – a Fortune 500 leader whose commitment to quality starts with the raw materials. From the corn used in high‑fructose syrup and the barley for malt extracts to the oilseeds that provide essential oils and the specialty grains for emerging beverage formulations, moisture content is a decisive factor. Too much moisture invites mould and spoilage; too little affects yield, processing behaviour, and final taste. That is why Coca‑Cola has integrated the SKZ111B‑2 portable grain moisture meter into their global supply chain quality protocols. This compact, user‑friendly instrument delivers fast, accurate moisture readings for 43 different grains and oilseeds, backed by SKZ’s unwavering dedication to precision, durability, and responsive service. Our latest shipment reached Coca‑Cola facilities in mid‑2026, and order volumes continue to climb as more sites adopt this versatile moisture solution – ensuring that every batch of incoming grain meets the company’s exacting specifications.
The SKZ111B‑2 comes pre‑programmed with calibration curves for 43 types of grains and oilseeds – one of the most extensive libraries in its class. This comprehensive coverage includes common cereals (wheat, corn, rice, barley), oilseeds (soybean, sunflower, rapeseed, peanuts), and specialty crops (coffee beans, cocoa beans, sesame, and more). For Coca‑Cola’s diversified sourcing, a single meter handles virtually all agricultural commodities they receive, eliminating the need for multiple dedicated instruments and simplifying inventory management across global receiving docks.
The SKZ111B‑2 features two distinct measuring ranges: 8‑35% for grains and seeds (e.g., wheat, corn, rice) and 5‑25% for oilseeds (e.g., soybeans, sunflower, canola). This dual‑range design ensures that each sample type is measured at optimal sensitivity – grains with higher moisture content and oilseeds with lower typical moisture levels are both accurately captured. For Coca‑Cola’s quality teams, this means reliable readings whether testing a freshly harvested corn shipment or a container of imported soybean oil raw material.
Different regions and suppliers may use slightly different reference methods (e.g., oven drying vs. near‑infrared). The SKZ111B‑2 allows operators to make user‑adjustable ± corrections to the displayed moisture value, enabling easy alignment with local laboratory standards or distributor‑specific specifications. This flexibility is invaluable for Coca‑Cola’s global operations, where receiving facilities must harmonise results with varied supplier quality certificates – eliminating disputes and ensuring seamless acceptance.
With operations spanning dozens of countries, Coca‑Cola requires equipment that speaks their team’s language. The SKZ111B‑2 offers 8 language options: English, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, Romanian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Indonesian (Bahasa). Operators can select their preferred language instantly, reducing training time and eliminating misinterpretation. This multilingual support ensures that temporary or rotating staff can confidently operate the meter, maintaining consistent data quality across all locations.
Forget cumbersome code tables. The SKZ111B‑2’s menu‑type interface displays the full grain name directly on the screen. Operators simply scroll through the alphabetical list, select the crop, and press “measure” – the instrument automatically applies the correct calibration. This intuitive design minimises operator errors, accelerates throughput, and makes the meter accessible even to personnel with minimal technical background – a significant advantage in busy receiving areas.
The SKZ111B‑2 provides real‑time moisture readings during the measurement process, allowing operators to observe the stabilisation trend. The total test time is ≤10 seconds – fast enough to handle high‑volume incoming inspections without creating bottlenecks. This speed, combined with the clear LCD display that shows both moisture and temperature, enables immediate pass/fail decisions and swift feedback to suppliers.
Agriculture evolves – new crop varieties, improved algorithms, and expanded calibration libraries are constantly emerging. SKZ offers complimentary software upgrades for the SKZ111B‑2, ensuring that your meter stays current without additional cost. For Coca‑Cola, this means the instrument remains a long‑term asset, capable of accommodating new ingredients or revised reference methods as their product portfolio expands.
Moisture readings are temperature‑sensitive. The SKZ111B‑2 incorporates automatic temperature compensation (operating range 0‑60°C), adjusting results in real time based on ambient conditions – eliminating manual correction and ensuring accuracy across seasons and climates. The meter also features a 30‑second auto‑off function that conserves battery life (powered by a standard 9V battery), while the lightweight portable design (1 kg, 6.5×7.5×8 cm) makes it ideal for field use, silo checks, and laboratory testing alike.
Even with its advanced features, the SKZ111B‑2 remains remarkably easy to use. The interface includes intuitive graphic operation guides that visually prompt each step – from grain selection to filling the sample cell and reading the result. This visual aid reduces the learning curve to minutes, allowing Coca‑Cola’s quality inspectors to become proficient immediately, ensuring reliable data from the first shift.
Coca‑Cola’s continued trust in SKZ reflects our unwavering commitment to precision and service. Our latest SKZ111B‑2 shipments have been deployed across multiple global facilities, and demand is growing as more sites discover the convenience and accuracy of this all‑in‑one moisture meter. At SKZ, our promise remains unchanged: reliable accuracy, durable build, and service that goes beyond the sale. Together with The Coca‑Cola Company, we ensure that every grain, every oilseed, and every ingredient meets the highest quality standards – safeguarding the consistent taste and safety that billions of consumers trust every day.
