Peat Moss Moisture
Superior Moisture Control
Peat moss moisture content is directly linked to the continued metabolism of the moss. When used as a soil amendment, the moss’ ability to continue to retain water is critical to the amendment’s success. In other applications, the moisture content of peat moss is equally important. Monitoring the moisture content of peat moss while processing it will ensure that the final product is viable.
Peat moss, also known as “peat,” is created from partially decomposed plant material, typically mosses, which have been submerged in wet, acidic environments without oxygen.
Because the IR-3000 can capture moisture information for 100% of the peat moss product during processing, you can adjust the moisture during processing in real-time. Having the information to adjust moisture during processing means
- Less waste
- Less downtime
- Lower energy costs during processing
- Improved product quality
