Particle Board Moisture
Increasing Profits with MoistTech Corp
Particle Board moisture control in both the infeed and outfeed processes enhances resin addition, reduces energy usage, and ensures high-quality material before blending. Moisture content significantly influences fiber quality, and inaccurate moisture resin addition not only wastes money but can also cause severe process interruptions.
Precise control of raw material fiber improves resin addition and board properties, resulting in significant cost savings. The major benefit is seen on the forming line, preventing downtime due to blown boards, a common issue with high particle board moisture content furnish.

Control Moisture Levels Properly
PERFORMANCE
Unsurpassed in performance, our sensors can accurately measure moisture within tenths of a percent of most applications
STABILITY
MoistTech sensors withstand the test of time and are low to zero maintenance
RELIABILITY
Rely on MoistTech’s NIR moisture sensors to never drift or need re-calibration
COST OF OWNERSHIP
A moisture measurement system is essential for the production process and in some cases will pay for itself in less than 30 days
Efficient Production
One unique feature of MoistTech’s IR-3000 Particle Board Moisture Sensor is its ability to monitor the process with small gaps in product flow without compromising accuracy. MoistTech has also developed sample systems and optical windows using sapphire optics, providing a real-time process measurement viewing area. Details can be found in our sampling technology section.
Efficiency is a top priority for manufacturers, and the dryer can impact that significantly. Measuring moisture before and after the dryer allows users to optimize settings, saving time and money. A proper moisture control system pays for itself with energy savings from the dryer in less than 30 days, drastically changing productivity levels.
Ideal Sensor Installation
Mounting the IR-3000 particle board moisture sensor several inches above the conveyor allows continuous process monitoring. Users can control moisture/resin content manually or automatically in the PB process.
Dust from the product is not typically a problem; however, in extremely dusty environments, we recommend an Air Purge System to prevent material accumulation on the sensor’s window.
If the IR-3000 Particle Board Moisture Sensor needs installation near a dryer outlet susceptible to extreme heat conditions, cooling with air or water may be necessary.
