Ferrite Powder Moisture

Is Moisture Content Essential?

Because only barium ferrites are considered stable to moisture, it is critical that ferrite powder moisture be measured, monitored, and controlled in the industrial environment. When the moisture content of the oxide mixture is reduced prior to the powder being pressed into shape, the drying time and energy costs can be optimized.

We developed the IR-3000 near infrared online moisture transmitter for the noncontact measurement of moisture in industrial raw materials. Providing measurements in real time, the IR-3000 allows you to control moisture in ferrite powder during the production process. With more than 40 years of experience in the mineral industry and with the input of our mineral industry partners, MoistTech developed the IR-3000 to be unsurpassed in performance, reliability, ease of maintainability, and cost of ownership.

Improved product quality, lower energy costs, less product waste, and less downtime are just a few of the reasons that testing ferrite powder moisture would be beneficial to your operation. The moisture information provided by the IR-3000 allows you to adjust production processes to control product moisture in real time.

PERFORMANCE

Unsurpassed in performance, our sensors can accurately measure  moisture within tenths of a percent of most applications

STABILITY

MoistTech sensors withstand the test of time and are low to zero maintenance

RELIABILITY

Rely on MoistTech’s NIR moisture sensors to never drift or need re-calibration

COST OF OWNERSHIP

A moisture measurement system is essential for the production process and in some cases will pay for itself in less than 30 days

Install the Answer

The IR-3000 is pre-calibrated to measure ferrite powder moisture, making installation simple and quick. Install the unit’s sensor above the powder on a conveyor or in a storage container. The sensor is not affected by ambient temperature, product temperature, or ambient light. Configure your installation for continuous automatic readings or manual instantaneous readings with our advanced software.

With rugged and durable components, the IR-3000 is designed to provide accurate and reliable measurements over the lifetime of the unit. Field data collected over our 40 years of experience in the industry allowed us to develop advanced product-loss software capability, ensuring that environmental variations do not affect true moisture readings. Simply stated, the IR-3000 outperforms the competition in any environment.

Diamond Standard Solutions

MoistTech has studied moisture and its applications in manufacturing for over 40 years. That’s why we’re confident our moisture analyzers are a step above the rest. We’re constantly working to develop the latest, most advanced moisture testing technology—which is how the IR-3000 came about.

We’ve combined our decades of experience and knowledge with feedback from our industry partners to create a moisture sensor capable of taking instant, non-contact measurements of moisture, temperature, and other vital levels with the utmost accuracy. When it comes to moisture sensors, the IR-3000 is the most advanced system available.

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!

Develop

A closed loop process is achieved by incorporating a moisture measurement system into the manufacturing process. Developing a proactive solution to moisture control will avoid costly downfalls. 

Support

MoistTech’s experts will assess your specific application with lab tests, calibrations and accuracy results to ensure our equipment will peform for you. All of our sensors are pre-calibrated prior to being shipped to create a plug-and-play operation for the end-user.
