Cellulose Moisture
Superior Moisture Control
Paper, card stock, textiles—all of these products that are important to everyday life are made possible by cellulose production. However, the production of cellulose would be impossible without the constant regulation of moisture and temperature levels. Accurate moisture testing instruments optimize production—helping yield the highest quality cellulose fibers or pulp and save money along the way.
Cellulose is primarily utilized in the manufacturing of paperboard and paper. It is also transformed into various derivative products like cellophane and rayon in smaller amounts. The process of converting cellulose from energy crops into biofuels, such as cellulosic ethanol, is currently being developed as a sustainable fuel option.
Near-infrared (NIR) sensors provide instant moisture readings, eliminating the need to wait for time-consuming lab results and enabling real-time monitoring of the manufacturing line with greater speed and accuracy. In the paper industry, where high moisture levels demand close attention, real-time feedback is crucial for operational success.

What is the Solution?
We’ve combined our decades of experience and knowledge with feedback from our industry partners to create a moisture sensor capable of taking instant, non-contact measurements of moisture, temperature, and other vital levels with the utmost accuracy. When it comes to moisture sensors, the IR-3000 is the most advanced system available.
Installation Points
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!
