Overview
In modern battery manufacturing, precision and consistency are paramount. Moisture and thickness variations can dramatically affect conductivity, performance, and safety. MoistTech’s IR-3000 Series Near-Infrared (NIR) Sensor delivers real-time, non-contact, and highly accurate measurements of both moisture and thickness in battery paste and separator films, enabling manufacturers to achieve superior control and efficiency.
Why Measure Moisture
Battery separator films are thin, micro-porous layers that serve as insulators between the anode and cathode-critical to both performance and safety.

RECOMMENDED MEASUREMENT LOCATIONS
The MoistTech IR-3000 represents the industry’s most robust and maintenance-free solution for battery paste and film monitoring. Designed to operate in extreme manufacturing environments, it features:
- Simultaneous moisture and thickness measurement
- Continuous, drift-free operation for long-term stability
- One-time calibration – no routine recalibration required
- Real-time data output to plant control systems for instant adjustments
- Digital filtering and averaging for highly stable readings
The IR-3000 sensors can be mounted above belts, conveyors, or film lines to continuously scan material flow. Common installation points include:
- Post-Coating / Pre-Dryer Stage – Monitoring wet paste thickness and solvent moisture
- Post-Dryer I Pre-Rolling – Ensuring uniform drying and binder distribution
- Final Film / Separator Roll Stage – Verifying thickness and residual moisture before slitting or lamination
