Advanced Near Infrared Sensing Technology Enables Continuous, Non-Contact Moisture Measurement for Quarrying, Mining, and Bulk Material Applications
MoistTech Corp., a global leader in moisture measurement, will exhibit at Hillhead 2026, the UK’s largest quarrying, construction, and recycling equipment exhibition, booth #RB11, June 23-25, 2026, at Hillhead Quarry in Buxton. The company will highlight its IR3000 Near Infrared Moisture Sensor for real-time, non-contact moisture analysis in demanding quarrying and mining environments.
The IR3000 is an advanced sensor designed to deliver precise, continuous moisture measurement without the need for recalibration. Using near infrared technology, the IR3000 enables operators to monitor moisture content in minerals, aggregates, sand, and bulk materials directly on production lines, helping reduce waste, improve yield, and support consistent product quality. The sensor is engineered for harsh environments and integrates easily into existing process control systems, making it suitable for a wide range of applications including quarrying operations, mineral processing, aggregate production, and bulk material handling.
With increasing demand for automation and real-time quality control in quarrying and mining operations, MoistTech’s solutions support manufacturers in achieving tighter process control while minimizing downtime. The IR3000 provides instant feedback that allows operators to make immediate adjustments, helping optimize production efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and control dryer operations with precision.
Attendees of Hillhead 2026 are invited to visit MoistTech at booth #RB11 to learn more about how near infrared technology can enhance moisture measurement and process control across quarrying, mining, and aggregate applications.
