Moist Tech

MoistTech Corp. represents the diamond standard in robust, reliable, and dependable near-infrared (NIR) moisture measurement technology. Manufacturing a range of on-line sensors & at-line instruments for moisture measurement and real-time process control for numerous applications. The technology also has the ability to monitor thickness, coating weight, oil, and fat/protein content along with other elements that absorb NIR light. Moisture ranges during production are often contributed or related to texture, taste, color, density, particle size, mold and more, making the moisture measurement process an essential step in quality control. MoistTech’s NIR IR3000 provides real-time/in-process measurement of the moisture levels that are useful in controlling the dryer energy usage. Mitigate or alleviate common issues found with out-of-range moisture levels and instantly increase plant efficiency, quality and accuracy. Easily measure moisture on your incoming raw materials, packaged materials, before and after the drying process, over various conveying systems and more – we can alleviate moisture issues by proactively detecting and eliminating issues before they even start. Out-of-date manual processes are time consuming and can involve human error. Incorporating moisture measurement during production allows the user to create a closed loop process and have full control over the production line. MoistTech’s near-infrared equipment can easily accommodate multiple processes including pneumatic conveying systems, belts, screws, chutes, bins, buckets and vibratory. Creating a closed loop process by incorporating the unit with your PLC gives the user the ability to make line adjustments such as product flow rates, dryer temperatures, dampeners, etc. to achieve optimal and continuous targeted moisture levels. Reading and controlling moisture levels is an invaluable part of the manufacturing process and can pay for itself within the first month.
