moisture marvellously If you’re drying it or moving it, we can measure it! M
oistTech manufactures the diamond standard in moisture measurement and control sensors for both use directly on the production line and also for laboratory use. Providing the best solution in the industry, our near-infrared sensors can detect moisture levels within your product as well as thickness, and coat weight, oil, and fat/protein content with one unit. This allows our equipment to be a staple for a wide range of sectors and disciplines, including adhesives, biomass, chemicals, coatings, food, forest products, minerals, renewable energy, textiles and wood products.
Unsurpassed in performance, stability, reliability and cost of ownership, the MoistTech series of moisture analysis sensors can increase both the quality and efficiency of the manufacturing process. Product quality and consistency are forefront with MoistTech in the development of the IR3000 sensor to accurately provide moisture measurements throughout the process, yielding a consistent,
quality product from lab to line that immediately reduces downtime, wasted energy and product loss.
Designed to provide accuracy and repeatability, the MoistTech technology is a ratio-based measurement with prime beam; this eliminates sensitivity due to distance, improves stability and accuracy. The technology captures hundreds of detailed, accurate measurements per second. The ability to pre-set the measurement rate to match the production rate is available on the technology and because there are no routine re-calibrations, this technology is low to zero maintenance which makes it an ideal solution for the manufacturing process. The sensors are designed to be installed 4-12 inches above the production line so that it can continuously monitor the production process and can be incorporated into multiple environments including: OBelt O Conveying systems: screw, chute, roller, chain, drag, elevator and pneumatic
OChutes, cyclones, bins OWebs OPipelines.
Insensitive to material variations such as particle size, material height & colour, our moisture sensors provide continuous, reliable readings with zero maintenance and a one- time calibration with a non-drift optical design allowing operational personnel to confidently make immediate process adjustments based on real-time measurements.
Using NIR Technology, which is a state-of-the- art, fast, non-destructive method of measuring and controlling moisture content, MoistTech is able to deliver multiple benefits to its clients – ranging from product quality monitoring, increased plant efficiency, lower energy costs and less waste, to precise dryer control, lower costs and higher accuracy. Instant ROI, low-to- zero maintenance and process optimisation can also all be achieved through a MoistTech solution.
Eliminate drifting and re-calibration issues on the processing line P
rocessing line equipment is designed to help control the environment by providing automated functions to improve the facilities overall quality, production, efficiency and decrease human errors. Manufacturing a range of on-line sensors and at-line instruments for moisture measurement and real-time process control for numerous applications, MoistTech supplies solutions that can deliver instant, non-contact moisture analysis of manufactured goods to ensure the accuracy and quality of the final product.
Moisture control becomes a crucial aspect of the production line as numerous products can becomes affected quickly, creating waste, downtime and other issues that stop the efficiency of the facility. Incorporating a system directly into the line or in the laboratory allows for an immediate adjustment process when needed, creates constant control of the products, and allows the data to tie directly into PLC. A common problem seen with moisture sensing technology is the need for re-calibrations due to drifting issues. Not anymore – MoistTech’s series of near-infrared moisture sensors eliminates the issues of drifting, causing the sensor to read and report
incorrect data and creating downtime to address the issues. The diamond standard sensors are designed to incorporate small changes in the production line without skewing the measurements, such as height and color variations and particle size. MoistTech’s process begins with calibrating the sensor to the exact specifications of the customers product by running numerous tests. Once the sensor has been introduced to the customers product and process, it has the ability to maintain the data and calibration without needing any monthly or annual maintenance. Utilizing a moisture control system that can be relied upon to maintain it accuracy and repeatability instantly increases the production efficiency of the plant by allowing the automation of the process to be monitored 100%.
Improving the manufacturing process allows for a multitude of benefits throughout the facility that can have a variety of positive impacts. The on-line
moisture control system from MoistTech is fast and easy to install on your product lines. Once the sensor is in place, you can use an external display or PC to display real-time moisture levels. Because our NIR technology can store up to 50 calibration readings in a single sensor, it can conveniently be used on a multitude of applications.
Moisture control in plant design is a crucial implementation in proactive avoidance of quality control issues. Moisture sensors are recommended to be installed in several locations throughout the process to achieve ultimate efficiency including incoming material lines, before and after the dryer, and before any finishing belts. With continuous improvement in mind, maintaining the ability to co-exist with sophisticated facilities and flawlessly tie into their systems to create a consistently managed process is essential for both MoistTech and the customer.
