Eliminate Human Error for Full Control Over Your Production

Out-of-date manual processes are time consuming and can involve human error. Incorporating moisture measurement during production allows users to create a closed-loop process and have full control over the production line. MoistTech’s near-infrared equipment can easily accommodate multiple processes including pneumatic conveying systems, belts, screws, chutes, bins, buckets and vibratory.

Moisture Measurement is an Investment that Pays for Itself

Creating a closed-loop process by incorporating the unit with your PLC allows users to make line adjustments, such as product flow rates, dryer temperatures, dampeners, etc. to achieve optimal and continuous targeted moisture levels. Reading and controlling moisture levels is an invaluable part of the manufacturing process and can pay for itself in months.

Moisture Sensor ROI

Explore the IR-3000 Difference 

Insensitive to material variations, such as particle size, material height and color, MoistTech developed the IR3000 series of online sensors for instant, non-contact measurement in the harshest manufacturing environments. Continually monitoring moisture levels allows operating personnel to confidently make immediate process adjustments based on real-time measurements.

Bioenergy Production Moisture

What’s worse than a wasted effort? Economical losses and decreased productivity. Excess moisture in products such as hog fuel, waste fiber, wood chips, pellets, saw dust, shavings, and forest waste can ruin products. MoistTech’s on-line and at-line monitoring solutions can provide the most efficient way to measure moisture content.

Hear from Our Customers 

“Based on your [customer service] interactions with me over the demo period, the product’s ease of use and user manual clarity, self-repair capability and matching competing warranties … in the end, you were not the cheapest, but the other factors listed ruled the day.”

“MoistTech IR3000s have provided me with the ability to control our process by instantly increasing or decreasing the material flow into the dryer. The variation of our material flow is based on the moisture content and belt scales to provide a dry weight. Prior to the MoistTech technology, it was a guessing game.”

“The system is working very well with an efficiency improvement of 400-600% in moisture control. We are also looking at promoting this to a best practice suitable for our other plants and shingle lines.”
