Ceramic
Powder Moisture
Accurate ceramic powder moisture levels have become critical
components during the various stages of ceramic powder production.
The powder can easily become either too wet or dry wasting
manufacturer's time and money as well as impacting the quality
of the end product.
With the help of industry partners and 30 years of knowledge
and experience, your MoistTech ceramic powder team has developed
the R-3000 Ceramic Powder Moisture Sensor that is ideally
suited to measure the moisture levels in ceramic powders.
Spray Dryers
Continuous process monitoring in spray dryers is possible
by using MoistTech's Sampler or Viewing Window. Both of these
samplers use Pyrex glass - - or in corrosive environments,
the samplers use a sapphire window.
Installation
The IR-3000 Ceramic Powder Moisture Sensor is typically mounted
several inches above the conveyor so it can continuously monitor
the process and can control the moisture content either manually
or automatically in the powder.
Environment
Generally, dust from the product is not normally a problem,
however in extreme dusty environments we recommend the installation
of MoistTech's Air Purge System to prevent the accumulation
of material on the sensor's window.
Benefits
- improved product quality
- lower energy costs
- reduced start-up times
- less waste
- 100% product inspection
- less downtime
Your team at MoistTech is very experienced
with the requirements in the production of ceramic powder.
Our sensor calibrations, measurement wavelengths, algorithms
and sensor optical requirements are pre-set at the factory.
Typical accuracy is about ±0.1% moisture. Typical analog range
is 5-15% moisture. The outputs can be adjusted to optimize
PLC or recording requirements.
