Nylon 66 Moisture

Nylon 66 Attributes

Nylon 66 is frequently used when high mechanical strength, rigidity, good stability under heat and/or chemical resistance are required. It is used in fibers for textiles, carpets, and molded parts.

Nylon has high performance and easy processing. Nylon 66 adds cost savings. However, it absorbs moisture from the surrounding environment, creating a constant challenge for engineers. This moisture affects the polymer properties making it harder to process. The intensification in moisture may cause deep changes in the material’s behavior since it reduces strength, stiffness, and frequency.

Non-Contact

Our equipment never comes into contact with the product, allowing for less waste

Zero Drift

Our sensors are guaranteed not to drift over time – which saves time and money

Closed Loop

Create a closed-loop process by tying a moisture sensor into your PLC. Full control over the line!

No Recalibrations

We’ve mastered the art of moisture sensors – your unit will never need to be recalibrated for the same product twice!

The Proof is in the Efficiency

With careful controls, the moisture absorbed by nylon can be reversed with drying in an oven. MoistTech has used our more than 30 years of experience in moisture measurement to create a line of NIR sensors that can measure and control the amount of moisture in nylon during processing. For real-time product control, our sensors:

Are unsurpassed in performance
Provide stable, reliable, constant measurements
Are cost effective non-contact measuring devices
Mount above the assembly line, before and after dryers, and anywhere moisture measurements are needed
Ignore conveyor belts, small gaps in product, color changes, and the height of the product
Send digital or analog signals
Use RS232 or Ethernet communications to reach your computer
Are easily maintained since no calibrations are required

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.

Assess

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!
