Plastic Chip Granule Pellets

Superior Moisture Control

Recycled plastic has endless uses and plastic pellet moisture content is a crucial step when recylcing the material into its next use. The process of turning piles of used plastics into usable products involves a long, complex process. During this process, plastic items are reduced to plastic chips, which are then washed, dried, made into granules, molded into plastic pellets, and reborn into new items. Without the right processing of the plastic during the recycling and production processes, the product quality becomes inferior.

To create the best quality recycled plastic products, you need to use the right equipment. A quality plastic chip, granule, or pellet moisture analyzer is one instrument that is absolutely indispensable.

The IR-3000 makes the ideal plastic chip or plastic granule and pellet moisture analyzer. It takes instant, non-contact measurements of moisture in % dry and % wet; allowing you to adjust moisture either automatically or manually to suit your needs. And that’s not all it does. Temperature, water-based coatings, chemical composition, and more are easily measured using the IR-3000.

What is the Solution?

MoistTech has studied moisture and its applications in manufacturing for over 40 years. That’s why we’re confident our moisture analyzers are a step above the rest. We’re constantly working to develop the latest, most advanced moisture testing technology—which is how the IR-3000 came about.

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!

Develop

A closed loop process is achieved by incorporating a moisture measurement system into the manufacturing process. Developing a proactive solution to moisture control will avoid costly downfalls. 

Support

MoistTech’s experts will assess your specific application with lab tests, calibrations and accuracy results to ensure our equipment will peform for you. All of our sensors are pre-calibrated prior to being shipped to create a plug-and-play operation for the end-user.

Understand the Process

Quality and consistency are crucial when it comes to maintaining a manufacturing line. Continuous monitoring of moisture content provides proactive avoidance of potential issues caused by out of tolerance moisture levels. Producers focus to minimize cost, reduce waste, increasing product quality, and maximizing plant efficiency. Wasted efforts are certainly a drain on resources in addition to wasted product, creating the need to evaluate and implement lean manufacturing principles.
