	Control SII-9550, wireless technology for degree-bt-degree
	temperature control;
	Highly technological, modern equipment.

Strict procedures for control of the humidity rate have been established. A minimum of 4 control centres assures a humidity rate that is precise and constant :


humidity reading with a moisture meter with needle during and after drying		daily monitoring of wireless probes with computer support


fork test		validation by the humidity detector for grading

The results are saved in files for analysis and statistics.
