Moisture Measurement for Plastic Quality and Consistency
Moisture variability in plastic manufacturing can significantly affect both product performance and production costs. Stable, real-time measurement ensures consistency, reduces waste, and improves overall process efficiency.
Traditional testing methods are often time-consuming, labor-intensive, and too slow for real-time control. At MoistTech, we specialize in near-infrared (NIR) sensor technology designed for immediate, non-contact measurement, even in the harshest manufacturing environments.
Our NIR technology has been honed for more than 40 years to provide instant measurement directly on the production line. MoistTech’s IR-3000 sensors deliver continuous, reliable readings regardless of material variation, enabling confident process control and improved product quality.

Near-Infrared Moisture Detection is State-of-the-Art
The precision of NIR moisture sensors can help increase the quality of your product, resulting in less lost time and money.
Combining our long experience with improvements suggested by our customers, we’ve designed a better, more precise, and more accurate NIR moisture sensor.
More Precision that Other Technologies
The 3000 Series Near-Infrared moisture sensor is designed to be not only more accurate but also low maintenance. An initial calibration is all it takes, and our NIR moisture sensor is ready to go. The IR-3000 uses NIR technology to take precise measurements in percentage wet and percentage dry, allowing you to make real-time adjustments, either automatically or manually. Our NIR moisture sensor will help you achieve a better, more consistent product.
Instant ROI
The most “bang for your buck” happens when you can control the moisture in the process through an automatic, feed-back-loop control system. A feed-back-loop changes the process based on the in-line measurement. If the collection and analysis of real-time data is the only purpose of testing, but the analysis of the data has potential to define substantive future process changes, an in-line solution may have a high potential ROl.
Avoid Downtime with Quick Measurements
Enjoy immediate adjustments to your process based on real-time measurements from our online NIR sensors. Avoid costly downtime and excessive scrap by catching any out-of-tolerance readings as quickly as possible. Immediate changes can be made to your production line to stop extra waste and keep the line moving. Connect our sensors directly to your PLC by R$232 or Ethernet for complete software control of your line.
Unbeatable Accuracy & Reliability
Our non-drift optical design gives you repeatable results in the most accurate measurements available. Calibrated from the factory, the sensors require no further maintenance to maintain their accuracy. Results are unaffected by heat or humidity.
NIR Technology for Plastic Manufacturing
Plastic production requires tight control over moisture, additives, and material composition to ensure a high-quality final product. When these variables are not properly managed, it can lead to surface defects, inconsistencies, and increased risk of product failures.
NIR technology uses reflected light to measure material properties instantly, accurately, and repeatably. This allows continuous monitoring without interrupting production. With thousands of measurements per second, operators can respond immediately to process changes and maintain optimal conditions throughout production.
