Overview
Accurate moisture control is essential in a wide range of industrial processes involving bulk materials such as minerals, powders, and
aggregates. Maintaining the right moisture content throughout manufacturing and processing ensures consistent product quality, prevents waste, and optimizes energy efficiency. MoistTech’s IR-3000 moisture sensor provides real-time, non-contact moisture measurements, enabling manufacturers to make immediate adjustments to the drying process.
Whether producing coal, bentonite, limestone, fly ash, or other bulk materials, our solutions ensure precise moisture control to prevent over drying and downstream issues such as clogging, equipment damage, or
inconsistent product properties.
Instant Moisture Control
The IR-3000 sensor can be installed at various points throughout the manufacturing process:
- In Hoppers, Silos, or Storage Bins
- For accurate monitoring of material moisture levels as they are transferred or stored
- On conveyor belts or material lines
- Continuous monitoring on production lines ensures moisture levels remain consistent as
materials are moved and processed - Pre- and Post-Dryer
- Measure moisture levels before and after the drying process to optimize the drying cycle and avoid over-drying
Non-Contact
Zero Drift
Closed Loop
No Recalibrations
MoistTech’s Solution
The intelligent pre-processing of the measurement values (300+ per second) allows for smooth average values, adjustable filters. Up to 50 standard calibration curves can be stored in the sensor. Three self-powered analog outputs 4-20mA, allow for the easy connection to control system. MoistTech includes very advanced PC software at no charge with connections via Ethernet or RS232/485.
Installation Points
The IR-3000 can be installed above conveyors, inside hoppers, silos, or material lines. Mount the sensor 4–12 inches above the material flow for the most accurate readings. Moisture data is displayed on an external display or PC, and the system can be connected directly to the PLC for automated moisture control.
