Measuring moisture content is crucial to many different industries. Even a slight variation in moisture content can cause quality issues with products. A moisture sensor can resolve the issue of moisture detection using near-infrared technology to accurately indicate moisture. When integrating a moisture sensor into your processing line, there are several key factors to consider.
Installation of Moisture Sensor on Processing Line
You want to install the moisture sensor in an area of the line that is unobstructed and can easily scan for moisture content. The MoistTech 3000 series sensors can be installed in a variety of locations thanks to the brackets on the top and back of the sensor enclosure. Some common areas to install sensors include belts, screw conveyors, chutes, cyclones, bins and pipeline or pneumatic conveyors. The sensor is simple to install and can be moved if necessary.
Sensor Calibration
Most sensors need regular calibration after drifting. MoistTech’s sensors use a maintenance-free design that never needs calibrating. It is guaranteed not to drift over time or need recalibrated. Since it will never drift, MoistTech’s sensor is a dependable choice to ensure you have accurate moisture readings on your processing line.
Software Compatibility
It is important to have a sensor that is compatible with your line’s software. Each MoistTech sensor is delivered to the customer with standard Windows software needed for basic operation installed. The sensor comes with unlimited licensing capabilities, and it can be displayed on as many computers as needed. Display options are available at an additional cost, but they are not required for operation.
