Moisture - Testing, Measurement and Control
Having
the correct salt moisture level has become a critical component during
processing. Salt can easily become either too wet or dry wasting
manufacturer’s time and money. With the help of industry partners
and 30 years of knowledge, MoistTech has developed the IR Model 838 Laboratory
Moisture Sensor that is ideally suited to measure the salt moisture levels
in the manufacturing process.
MoistTech’s IR Model 838 Laboratory Moisture
Sensor utilizes the principle of near infrared reflection (NIR).
A sample of salt is poured into a stainless steel bowl that is placed inside
the salt moisture sensor for measurement. The measurement results
are processed in 5 seconds and the sensor is ready for the next salt sample
to be measured.

MoistTech is very experienced with the
requirements in the production of salt. Our sensor calibrations,
measurement wavelengths, algorithms and sensor optical requirements are
pre-set at the factory. Typical accuracy is about ±0.005% moisture.
Typical analog range is 0-2% moisture. The outputs can be adjusted
to optimize PLC or recording requirements.
