MoistTech Company History

In 1975, John Fordham and Roger Carlson founded Moisture Systems and continued with the improvement process of moisture detection. Eventually forming MoistTech in 2006, the continued success of moisture control rolled on! The Sarasota, Florida-based manufacturer sought to overcome common industry issues such as waste, low-efficiency, and inconsistency, going on to pioneer the industry’s first patented method of non-contact, non-destructive moisture analysis and detection. With the passing of time, MoistTech has continued to refine its technology. The company history paints a clear path of success and optimism.

Today, the company’s near-infrared (NIR) equipment is chosen by market leaders all over the world. Providing reliable moisture measurement and controls that manufacturers can trust to enhance efficiency. On-line and at-line sensors for real-time process control – that’s the name of the game, and MoistTech is most certainly the most chosen brand.

With numerous applications, its proprietary technology enables customers to gauge real-time processes and gather data regardless of gaps and interruptions. This means even material variations: color, height, particle size in product flow do not effect the result. Making MoistTech’s solutions valued by a diverse range of clients across open and niche disciplines: adhesives, biomass, chemicals, coatings, food, minerals, renewable energy, textiles, and wood products.

MoistTech is the #1 Choice

Depending on the material being manufactured, moisture can play a sizable role in transportation costs, product consistency and quality, plant efficiency, equipment wear and tear, and more. Immediate Return on Investment (ROI) is seen with installation of a moisture measurement system as plant controllers can instantaneously see the reduced waste and energy usage. Also the overall increase in product quality and plant efficiency is forefront. Consistency is the ultimate test of quality therefore, figuring out the necessary requirement of manufacturing a product and consistently achieving that standard is paramount. Moisture control is a huge determinant to the overall quality of a product, and as such we give you the data you need to maintain a level of consistency while also improving quality control processes.

Over 45 Years and Counting

MoistTech’s company history stretches back and has been family owned for over 45 years. Continuing to serve customers based off the ability to evolve with advancements in technology and the customers individual needs. With MoistTech, customers are more than just a sensor – they are the backbone of the company and meeting their production needs in moisture control is our passion.

MoistTech manufactures the diamond standard in moisture measurement and control sensors for both use directly on the production line and for laboratory use. This allows our equipment to be a staple for a wide range of sectors and disciplines, including adhesives, biomass, chemicals, coatings, food, forest products, minerals, renewable energy, textiles and wood products. Unsurpassed in performance, stability, reliability, and cost of ownership, the MoistTech series of moisture analysis sensors can increase both the quality and efficiency of the manufacturing process.

Designed to provide accuracy and repeatability, the MoistTech technology is a ratio-based measurement with prime beam; this eliminates sensitivity due to distance, improves stability and accuracy. The technology captures hundreds of detailed, accurate measurements per second, providing the ability to pre-set the measurement rate to match the production rate is available on the technology and because there are no routine re-calibrations, this technology is low to zero maintenance which makes it an ideal solution for the manufacturing process.
