WECO HopTek - Hops Moisture Monitoring System
WECO’s moisture monitoring technology uses a combination of proprietary software and custom-printed circuit boards to measure the electrical properties of the hops. Then, we use the measured electrical properties in conjunction with a product-specific calibration to determine the moisture. The result is an average moisture reading across the entire sensor plate area.

The HopTek system was adapted from walnut industry equipment because the two industries share many of the same kiln-based drying systems. Over the past 10+ years, WECO has continuously added innovations to our moisture monitoring technology, and hundreds of our systems are currently in operation throughout North and South America.
The advantages of our HopTek technology include:
- Reduced labor due to the elimination of sample taking
- Consistent drying that results in increased product weight and revenue
- Reduced energy costs from less accidental over-drying
- Logged drying data for future use or external enterprise resource planning (ERP)
