Tissue Moisture Measurement
Superior Moisture Control
Tissue production encompasses complex procedures that require a regulated setting. Fluctuations in moisture levels can significantly affect the excellence and attributes of the end result. Elevated moisture levels may result in excessive absorption of moisture by the tissues, rendering them fragile and susceptible to tearing.
Three primary procedures are required in the production of tissue paper: pulping, pressing, and converting. While similar to paper manufacturing, special attention is given to ensuring the softness and thickness of the tissue paper. Initially, paper pulp is created from wood fibers or recycled materials.
Control Moisture Levels Properly
Rather than adding more duties to your employees and more bulky equipment to your facility, trust the IR-3000. Top-notch engineers invented algorithms, wavelengths, and sensor optical requirements specifically for the IR-3000. These tools combine to create MoistTech’s Near Infrared (NIR) technology, which accurately takes countless measurements per second. These measurements immediately tell the IR-3000 Online Sensor whether the tissue is too wet or too dry.
Typical moisture accuracy is about ± 0.05%, with coating accuracy varying from 0.1 to 0.01 micron. Typical analog range is 0-10% moisture. The outputs can be adjusted to optimize PLC or recording requirements. The IR-3000 simplifies your company’s production process and your operators’ duties, creating a better work environment for your company.
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?
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!
