Titanium Dioxide Moisture
Important Moisture Measurement Aspects
Typical of several powdered or granulated minerals, titanium dioxide moisture affects the handling and transport of the bulk material. At relatively low environmental relative humidity (about 40% for a full day), the handling of titanium dioxide is compromised, slowing the rate of flow from one point to another. At higher relative humidity or for longer time periods, handling titanium dioxide becomes difficult.
Increased titanium dioxide moisture content often requires the installation of expensive environmental humidity controls to ensure its even and free flow. Whereas other factors, such as conveyance distance and granularity size of the titanium dioxide particles affect flow rates, moisture content makes the biggest impact. It is critical to measure titanium dioxide moisture at various points in production to ensure ease of handling throughout the process.
The IR-3000 is suitable for installation in the harshest industrial environment. Impervious to dust and environmental conditions, it is also insensitive to foreign objects, inert materials, and gaps in the material. The IR-3000 is rugged and built to outperform its competition, ensuring a larger return on investment over its lifetime.

Installing Success
For best results, install the IR-3000 measurement sensor head 4 to 14 inches from the material in storage bins, along the belt conveyor, or in down chutes. The unit includes self-powered, isolated, 3 x analog outputs at 4-20mA for communication output to a laptop, touch tablet, or across a plant network or Ethernet TCP/IP. The IR-3000 is delivered pre-calibrated to make installation quick and easy. See the most popular installation locations
What is the Solution for Titanium Dioxide Moisture?
Based on years of field data and decades of collaboration with industry partners, MoistTech developed the IR-3000 near infrared (NIR) online moisture transmitter. This precise instrument records thousands of moisture measurements to allow for the control of moisture in real time. The IR-3000’s non-contact measurement requirements mean that it can be installed to measure moisture at nearly any point in the industrial process. The IR-3000 is unsurpassed in performance, stability, reliability, maintainability, and cost of ownership.
Assess
Locate the point in the production process in which measuring moisture will be the most crucial and beneficial. Identify how you will use the moisture measurement data for improvements and if it will tie into your PLC.
Remember this could involve more than one installation point!
Develop
A closed loop process is achieved by incorporating a moisture measurement system into the manufacturing process. Developing a proactive solution to moisture control will avoid costly downfalls.
