Dolomite (Talc) Moisture

Importance of Moisture Content

Dolomite (Talc) moisture affects the chemical reaction of the talc with phosphoric acid (for the purpose of enriching agricultural soil amendment products), according to recent research by A. M. Sviklas and R. Šlinkšienė. To optimize the process of this reaction, the moisture content of the dolomite mixture should be maintained from 4% to 10%. In other industrial applications, controlling the moisture content of dolomite is equally important.

Built to outperform the competition in even the most grueling industrial environments, the IR-3000 is suitable for any manufacturing application. Its state-of-the-art components operates despite the presence of dust, inert material, foreign objects, or gaps in the production line. Years of field data confirm that MoistTech’s IR-3000 is unsurpassed for quality and performance in the industry.

MoistTech Provides the Solution

Installation of the IR-3000 is easy. It is delivered pre-calibrated for your specific application. It is insensitive to ambient temperature, product temperature, or light so that it can be installed along the conveyor, in chutes, or in storage bins. The industry’s most advanced software allows the sensor to provide continuous automatic readings or manual instantaneous readings.

MoistTech has more than 40 years of experience developing moisture sensor equipment. The IR-3000 near infrared (NIR) online moisture transmitter is the culmination of our experience and input from our industry partners. Capturing thousands of measurements per second, the IR-3000 provides instant, non-contact measurements of virtually any product or raw material in an industrial environment. It’s one-time calibration, maintenance-free, drift-free optical design allows for the adjustment of the dolomite production process based on real-time measurements

Assess

Locate the point in the production process in which measuring moisture will be the most crucial and beneficial. Identify how you will use the moisture measurement data for improvements and if it will tie into your PLC.

Remember this could involve more than one installation point!

Develop

A closed loop process is achieved by incorporating a moisture measurement system into the manufacturing process. Developing a proactive solution to moisture control will avoid costly downfalls. 

Support

MoistTech’s experts will assess your specific application with lab tests, calibrations and accuracy results to ensure our equipment will peform for you. All of our sensors are pre-calibrated prior to being shipped to create a plug-and-play operation for the end-user.
