Sodium Bentonite Moisture
Contact Us
Overview
Sodium bentonite is a naturally occurring clay mineral known for its remarkable swelling and absorption properties. Commonly used in cat litter, drilling muds, and environmental sealing, sodium bentonite’s effectiveness depends heavily on its moisture content. Because the material is highly porous, even small deviations in moisture can cause major processing and performance issues.
Maintaining precise control of moisture levels during processing is essential to ensure product consistency, prevent clumping or dusting, and optimize drying efficiency.

RECOMMENDED MEASUREMENT LOCATIONS
Above Belt Conveyors Feeding and Exiting the Dryer
Used to monitor moisture before and after drying for better process control. The diagram shows raw feed or inlet to dryer at 15–25% moisture and dryer output at 8–12%.
In Silos or Hoppers
Used to monitor storage stability and help maintain final product quality.
On Screw Conveyors
Used for real-time production feedback during material transfer.
The process diagram on the page also shows final product moisture at 7–10%, supporting final quality verification after drying.
