SKZ is honored to be the chosen partner of The Coca‑Cola Company – a Fortune 500 giant whose commitment to quality extends far beyond the final beverage-. From corn-based sweeteners and grain-derived ingredients to coffee and cocoa beans used in their expanding beverage portfolio-, moisture content is a critical quality parameter that directly impacts product consistency, shelf life, and food safety-. Too much moisture can lead to spoilage, mold growth, and microbial contamination-; too little can affect processing yield and final product quality. That is why Coca‑Cola trusts the SKZ111B‑1 PRO portable grain moisture meter across their global supply chain. Every unit we deliver is backed by our unwavering dedication to accuracy, durability, and responsive service. As their global needs grow, so does our partnership – because every batch of raw material deserves the same rigorous quality check.
The SKZ111B‑1 PRO is engineered with a broad measuring range of 3‑35% moisture content, making it suitable for a wide variety of grains, seeds, and agricultural commodities. Whether it is corn for sweetener production, wheat and barley for beverage ingredients, or specialty crops like coffee beans and cocoa beans – the meter delivers quick, reliable readings within seconds. This versatility allows quality control teams at receiving docks and production lines to make real‑time decisions with confidence.
The instrument comes pre‑programmed with calibration curves for 33 different crop types – the most extensive library in its class. Notably, the SKZ111B‑1 PRO includes calibration for coffee beans and cocoa beans – two critical ingredients in Coca‑Cola's growing coffee and ready‑to‑drink beverage portfolio-. For cocoa beans, moisture content must typically remain below 7.5‑8% to prevent mold growth and enzymatic degradation that leads to elevated free fatty acid levels-. For coffee beans, moisture should not exceed 11% for satisfactory storage-. The SKZ111B‑1 PRO helps Coca‑Cola's suppliers and production facilities maintain these stringent quality thresholds with ease.
Moisture readings are inherently temperature‑dependent – a fact that can introduce significant errors if not properly accounted for. The SKZ111B‑1 PRO features automatic temperature compensation, which adjusts measurements in real time based on the ambient temperature of the sample. This eliminates the need for manual temperature correction and ensures that readings remain accurate across different seasons, climates, and storage conditions – a critical advantage for a global company like Coca‑Cola that operates in diverse environments worldwide.
The SKZ111B‑1 PRO includes a moisture correction when empty function, allowing operators to zero‑calibrate the instrument before each measurement session. This feature ensures that the baseline reading is consistently accurate, eliminating any drift or offset that could compromise measurement integrity. For quality control environments where precision is non‑negotiable, this function provides an extra layer of confidence in every reading.
Powered by 4 × 1.5V AA batteries, the SKZ111B‑1 PRO offers extended operational life and can be quickly replaced with widely available batteries – minimizing downtime in busy production environments. For facilities with continuous testing requirements, the instrument also supports plug‑in power, ensuring uninterrupted operation during extended quality control sessions.
The SKZ111B‑1 PRO is available with an optional menu version that features an intuitive, menu‑driven interface. This makes operation even more straightforward – operators can simply scroll through the crop list, select the grain type, and begin measuring immediately. No complex codes, no lookup tables – just efficient, error‑free moisture testing that reduces training time and improves workflow efficiency.
Coca‑Cola's ingredient supplier requirements mandate that agricultural primary source materials comply with regulatory requirements for both the country of origin and country of use-1. The SKZ111B‑1 PRO supports this global compliance by delivering consistent, repeatable moisture measurements that can be trusted across borders. Whether at a farm in Brazil, a processing facility in India, or a bottling plant in Europe, the SKZ111B‑1 PRO provides the same reliable performance – helping Coca‑Cola maintain its exacting quality standards wherever it operates-.
Coca‑Cola's trust in SKZ is a testament to our relentless focus on quality and service. Our latest batch of SKZ111B‑1 PRO units shipped in early 2026, and order volumes continue to climb as more facilities adopt our moisture meters. At SKZ, our commitment remains unchanged: precise measurement, robust design, and service that goes beyond the sale. Together with The Coca‑Cola Company, we ensure that every grain, every bean, and every ingredient meets the highest quality standards – one measurement at a time.
