Clay Moisture
Increased Profits
Quickly and effectively measure and control the moisture content immediatly in the process so that you can eliminate issues before they arise.
The need for precise clay moisture levels has become a critical component during production. Being such a porous material, clay can easily become either too wet or too dry wasting manufacturers’ time and money. With countless installations and applications along with 40+ years of knowledge, MoistTech has proudly developed the IR-3000 Clay Moisture Sensor which is ideally suited to measure the moisture levels in the clay production process while improving manufactures’ product quality and lowering their energy costs.
Control Moisture Levels Now
Enhanced efficiency in the energy-intensive spray drying process, leading to reduced energy expenses, minimized bulk density fluctuations, and consistent production of tiles with the desired moisture content
Improved efficiency in tile pressing, resulting in better tile formation and decreased need for rework or scrap
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!
Installation Tips
By installing the MoistTech IR-3000 clay moisture sensor in the processing area, a manufacturer can continuously monitor the process and can control the clay moisture content either manually or automatically. To accurately measure the clay moisture levels, the sensor should be installed over the conveyor transporting the clay. The sensor should be mounted several inches above the belt, screw conveyor or any area where the material can be viewed.
In the installations of spray or fluid bed dryer’s, Optical Windows or Sampling Systems can be provided.
It should be noted that dust from the product is not normally a problem. However, in extreme dusty environments we recommend the installation of an air purge system to prevent the accumulation of material on the sensor’s window.
