Detergent Moisture
Maintaining an absolutely correct detergent moisture level
in detergent powders has become a critical component during
production. Being such a porous material, detergents can easily
become either too wet or dry wasting manufacturers time and
money.
With the help of industry partners and 30 years of knowledge,
MoistTech has developed its highly advanced IR-3000 Detergent
Moisture Sensor which is ideally suited to measure the detergent
moisture levels in the production process while improving
manufactures product quality and lowering their energy costs.
Installation
By installing the IR-3000 Detergent Moisture Sensor in the
processing area, a manufacturer can continuously monitor the
process and can control the detergent moisture content either
manually or automatically.
To accurately measure the detergent moisture levels, the sensor
should be installed over the conveyor transporting the detergent.
The sensor should be mounted several inches above the belt,
screw conveyor or any area where the material can be viewed.
Environment
Normally, dust from the product is not a problem. However,
in extreme dusty environments, we recommend the installation
of an 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
MoistTech's team of professionals is very experienced with
the requirements in the production of detergents. 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 0-10% moisture
and up to as much as 40%, subject to application. The outputs
can be adjusted to optimize PLC or recording requirements.
