What else can be measured with NIR moisture sensors?

Moisture sensors determine the moisture content, but there are other parameters that can be measured with near infrared light (NIR).
The name MoistTech is self-explanatory that the moisture sensors detect moisture content, but there are so many more substances that absorb near infrared (NIR) light. Coating weight, protein and temperature are just a few measurables that can be detected with MoistTech’s line of products for quality control. How does NIR work? NIR technology works when different substances absorb NIR light at specific wavelengths. After analyzing the amount of NIR light absorbed in a sample, the machine can provide in-depth information about the substance being measured. In the case of MoistTech, it is a popular tool for industries that need to control moisture content in products, such as paper and food production. What does NIR measure? Moisture is far from the only entity NIR can measure. It can also detect levels of coating weight, sheet and film thickness, oil, protein and temperature, among others. NIR technology can be used in many industries including food, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, environmental monitoring and renewable energy. # Moisture; The incorrect amount of moisture in a product can cause serious issues. By measuring the moisture content, you can ensure your product contains the perfect amount of moisture, no more and no less. # Coating Weight; By measuring coating weight, you can be assured that the correct amount of product is used. This helps improve product quality while also keeping costs down by reducing waste. # Sheet and Film Thickness; Sheet and film thickness can affect the performance of a product. If it is too thin or thick, the product may not work as intended. Measure sheet and film thickness to avoid defective products. # Oil; Excessive oil can ruin food products and too little oil can result in dry materials. By measuring the correct amount, you can trust your products will turn out to be the quality your consumers expect. # Protein; It is important to measure protein in food production to remain compliant with nutritional regulatory practices. The wrong balance of protein can also affect product quality. # Temperature; Measuring temperature in food production is crucial for product safety. It is also important to measure temperature in non-consumables to prevent product damage. Avoidance of potential problems Potential problems can be avoided when using NIR technology. For example, if there is too much moisture in a product, it could lead to warping or uneven glue adhesion in paper and corrugated applications. When the coating is too thick, the product can become inconsistent in appearance or the coating can flake off prematurely. MoistTech’s IR-3000 moisture sensor can measure moisture, protein, oils and much more while allowing for real-time adjustments. This improves product quality and reduces production downtime.
