Rayon Moisture
Importance of Moisture Control
The versatility of rayon as an apparel and industrial textile makes it extremely popular. However, viscose rayon has a low wet strength, making it prone to shrinking or stretching. When treated to have a higher wet strength, sizing, starches, and dying can negatively affect the resulting polynosic rayon. This susceptibility to moisture variance makes controlling rayon moisture during the production process imperative.
Because stains caused by moisture can ruin both low and high wet-strength rayon fabric, it’s obvious that controlling rayon moisture is critical during production. But controlling rayon moisture during production has benefits beyond the integrity of the product itself. Controlling moisture during textile production
- Increases productivity by minimizing waste
- Lowers energy costs by eliminating rework
- Reduces harmful environmental effects
- Allows manufacturers to optimize production processes
Compare Your Current Method for ROI
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!
What is the Solution?
MoistTech has worked with textile manufacturers for more than 40 years. Based on the relationships we’ve established, the field data we’ve collected from measuring moisture in nearly every industrial environment imaginable, and the customer concerns and feedback we’ve listened to, we worked to make the IR-3000 the world’s most accurate and reliable moisture measurement system available today. To learn how the IR-3000 can work to control rayon moisture in your process, please contact us. We would be happy to answer your questions and provide more information about the IR-3000.
Assess
The sensor was designed and built to measure rayon moisture at any point during production. It provides non-contact measurement, capturing thousands of moisture measurements per second, in real time, during production from fiber to final fabric. MoistTech’s sensors provide unmatched accuracy and reliability even the harshest industrial conditions. The IR-3000 will outperform the competition because it is rugged, durable, and stable.
