Key factors for integrating moisture sensors into your production line

Measuring moisture content is crucial to many different industries. When integrating a moisture sensor into your processing line, there are several key factors to consider.
Measuring moisture content is crucial to many different industries. Even a slight variation in moisture content can cause quality issues with products. A moisture sensor can resolve the issue of moisture detection using near-infrared technology to accurately indicate moisture. When integrating a moisture sensor into your processing line, there are several key factors to consider.

Installation on Processing Line

You want to install the moisture sensor in an area of the line that is unobstructed and can easily scan for moisture content. The MoistTech 3000 series sensors can be installed in a variety of locations thanks to the brackets on the top and back of the sensor enclosure. Some common areas to install sensors include belts, screw conveyors, chutes, cyclones, bins and pipeline or pneumatic conveyors. The sensor is simple to install and can be moved if necessary.

Sensor calibration

Most sensors need regular calibration after drifting. MoistTech’s sensors use a maintenance-free design that never needs calibrating. It is guaranteed not to drift over time or need recalibrated. Since it will never drift, MoistTech’s sensor is a dependable choice to ensure you have accurate moisture readings on your processing line.

Software Compatibility

It is important to have a sensor that is compatible with your line’s software. Each MoistTech sensor is delivered to the customer with standard Windows software needed for basic operation installed. The sensor comes with unlimited licensing capabilities, and it can be displayed on as many computers as needed. Display options are available at an additional cost, but they are not required for operation.

Why It’s Critical to Measure Moisture Content in Wood
When the moisture content is inaccurate, the quality of the product can be compromised A slight difference in moisture content may not seem important, but when it comes to wood manufacturing, even the smallest variation can have a major impact. When the moisture content is inaccurate, the quality of the product can be compromised. Do not risk product damage from moisture. MoistTech’s NIR sensor can measure moisture content in real-time, so adjustments can easily be made to prevent product issues. Consequences of Moisture Imbalance in Wood Wood moisture content can affect properties such as strength, drying time, glue curing and bond performance. However, moisture affects each type of wood differently. Moisture is a key component during veneer production to keep pace with the flow of materials. In medium density fiberboard, moisture content determines the overall strength and durability of the board, surface appearance and quality. Precision moisture measurement is imperative to prevent blown boards on the OSB forming line. No matter the application,

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).
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,

Wood & Biomass Moisture: 4 ways to increase plant efficiency Moisture and wood fuel biomass are vital to each other for minimizing cost, proper operation of biomass boilers, and genuine fuel load assessment.
Wood & Biomass Moisture: 4 ways to increase plant efficiency
Moisture and wood fuel biomass are vital to each other for minimizing cost, proper operation of biomass boilers, and genuine fuel load assessment. Minimize cost and increase efficiency. Both manufacturers and producers have this at the forefront of their agenda, especially in today’s economy. Knowing where improvements can be made and implementing increasingly lean operating procedures creates immediate process line results. Moisture and wood fuel biomass are vital to each other for minimizing cost, proper operation of biomass boilers, and genuine fuel load assessment. Near-infrared (NIR) technology is a great non-contact way to measure moisture content, immediately improving the product and overall efficiency of the plant. Moisture control becomes crucial in wood and biomass products as excess moisture has impacts that not only affect the product but also the equipment, energy usage, production efficiency, downtime, and more. Wood fuel boilers are optimally designed to operate with fuel of a limited moisture range content. Fuel outside of the tolerated moisture range of the boiler can lead to multiple inefficiencies,
