Hydrated Lime and Coal Analysis

Erratic & Unreliable Readings: Existing moisture gauges produced erratic values that could not be usable data for the production team.

Extensive Prior Testing: Multiple models from a previous supplier were tested with numerous lab samples analyzed with polynomial calibrations created.

Need for Standardization: The company required a reliable, consistent solution and selected a manufacturer that could not provide the correct solution.

Product Variability & Waste: Inconsistent moisture led to off-spec product and unnecessary waste and downtime on the production line

CCS-3000 Sensor

MoistTech’s CCS-3000 series NIR moisture sensor was selected as the standard solution for both coal and hydrated lime moisture application analysis. Real-time continuous moisture measurement provides proven performance through consistent, reliable data.

Reliable & Consistent Measurements: Delivers stable, accurate moisture data for both coal and hydrated lime.

Improved Process Control: Enables tighter moisture control ranges to optimize product quality.

Standardized Solution: MoistTech’s CCS-3000 series becomes the adopted standard within the company.

Lower Waste: Negligible wasted product; moisture controlled within the desired range.
