Straw Moisture
Is Moisture That Important?
An excess of moisture can not only ruin straw, it can also present serious hazards to any production facility. Whether using it as it to feed livestock or as a bioenergy source, moisture control in the production and storing of staw is extremely important. Production facilities need to ensure that they control the exact amount of moisture both in the straw and in the environment around the straw. Controlling the moisture content accordingly allows for longer / safer storage and for the delivery of a higher-quality product.
MoistTech has been producing moisture control products for over 40 years. We’ve used our years of experience and technological leadership to develop the MoistTech IR-3000, a non-contact instrument that accurately measures and regulates moisture in various applications, including renewal energy and animal food products. With thousands of measurements per second, MoistTech’s IR-3000 online moisture detector allows users to optimize their online process and dramatically improve product quality, providing both energy savings and increased productivity.
Measure Moisture in Real Time
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 Near-Infrared Solution
Moisture content inconsistencies mean the final product will have varying quality levels depending where in production they were created. Near-infrared technology is the best solution to accurately measure the moisture levels of multiple applications, offering a solution that meets all quality control factors. Accurately detecting moisture levels frequently throughout the process allows for line adjustments as needed that improve the overall functionality and efficiency of the facility.
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!

Understand the Process
Using the IR-3000 drastically cuts production costs. It is energy efficient, low maintenance, and decreases startup and down times. Over dried product causes waste; so does product that is too moist. With the IR-3000, these problems will no longer be an issue.
