Overview
Moisture control is a critical parameter throughout every stage of paper pulp production. From raw bark handling to final pulp baling and shipment, maintaining precise moisture levels directly affects product quality, fiber integrity, processing efficiency, and energy consumption. Paper pulp that becomes too wet or too dry at any stage can lead to wasted material, operational delays, excessive energy use, and compromised final product performance.
MoistTech’s IR3000 Near-Infrared (NIR) technology offers an immediate, non-contact solution to optimize the entire pulp manufacturing process.
Why Measure Moisture
Accurate, real-time moisture monitoring delivers multiple process and product benefits.
Quality Assurance
Energy Efficiency
Reduce Waste
Process Stability
Safety
RECOMMENDED MEASUREMENT LOCATIONS
Bark Handling Conveyors
Used to monitor bark moisture for improved fuel efficiency and boiler performance.
Post-Refiner or Pre-Flash Dryer
Used to measure pulp moisture before high-temperature drying begins.
Flash Dryer Outlets
Used to verify safe and consistent moisture removal after drying.
Pulp Baling Lines
Used to confirm moisture consistency before baling and shipment.
Roll Formation Lines
Used to verify moisture levels for downstream conversion and product performance.
Moisture data can be displayed on a local interface or integrated into plant PLC systems to enable closed-loop automatic control.
Understand the Process
Having the precise moisture levels of paper products in converting operations, newsprint, tissue and corrugated liner pulp has become a critical component during production.
