Overview
Glass manufacturing and recycling demand precise control over material composition and moisture levels to ensure consistent, high-quality output. One of the most critical raw materials in this process is glass cullet, recycled glass that has been crushed and prepared for remelting or secondary applications. Moisture measurement plays an essential role in cullet processing, influencing energy consumption, product integrity, and downstream efficiency.
The MoistTech IR-3000 Series Near-Infrared (NIR) sensor provides non-contact, instant, and highly accurate moisture readings for silica mixtures, recycled cullet, and finished glass-related products. Designed for harsh industrial environments, the IR-3000 delivers continuous, real-time data to optimize processing conditions, enhance throughput, and ensure a consistent end product.
Why Measure Moisture
Accurate, real-time moisture monitoring delivers multiple process and product benefits.
Quality Assurance
Energy Efficiency
Reduce Waste
Process Stability
RECOMMENDED MEASUREMENT LOCATIONS
Incoming Silica / Raw Feed
Monitors initial moisture levels in raw material blends.
Cullet Wash / Separation Stage
Ensures proper drying during cleaning and decontamination.
Pre-Furnace / Post-Dryer Feed
Verifies final product moisture before melting or packaging.
For optimal accuracy, sensors can be installed at key process stages throughout glass cullet processing.
