Plug-and-Play Moisture Sensors that Fit Seamlessly into your process

Moisture sensors can be time consuming to install, resulting in lengthy workflow disruptions. With MoistTech, you enjoy easy moisture sensor installation thanks to plug-and-play technology.
Moisture measurement is critical for product quality and waste reduction, but moisture sensors can be time consuming to install, resulting in lengthy workflow disruptions. With MoistTech, you can eliminate prolonged downtime and enjoy easy moisture sensor installation thanks to plug-and-play technology. Increase production line efficiency and improve product quality consistency with a moisture sensor from MoistTech.

How Plug-and-Play Technology Works

Say goodbye to complicated sensor installation processes that cut into production time. Plug-and-play technology provides seamless integration advantages for moisture sensors. Efficiency is at the top of the list as there are limited workflow interruptions. Where other sensors require downtime for installation, MoistTech’s sensors can simply be plugged in and operational within minutes. Due to the ease of installation, MoistTech sensors can be installed nearly anywhere on the production line. Popular installation locations include conveyors, chutes, cyclones and bins. The sensors are usually mounted 4”-16” from the product flow that is being measured. No matter if it is open air or enclosed, the sensors can be installed wherever there is a power source. With the simple installation process, the production line can remain running at peak efficiency without workflow stoppages.

Additional MoistTech Benefits

MoistTech has numerous years of engineering experience. We draw from this knowledge when creating moisture sensors that provide solutions for production line challenges. In addition to reducing downtime for installation, there are several benefits to a moisture sensor with plug-and-play technology. These all play a role in streamlining production and ensuring product consistency.

Benefits of MoistTech plug-and-play sensors

  • Non-contact measurements
  • Instant measurements
  • No drift
  • Never needs calibrating
  • Low maintenance

Near-Infrared Moisture Sensors

MoistTech’s plug-and-play moisture sensors use near-infrared (NIR) technology . NIR sensors provide accurate, reliable and repeatable results. The non-contact measurement feature means there is no product waste when collecting samples. Additionally, line downtime is not required to gather data, as the sensors are continuously monitoring the moisture content of product. If an out of spec moisture level is detected, the operator can quickly make adjustments to prevent product waste and maintain a high level of quality. MoistTech’s moisture sensors combine technology with innovation for solutions to efficiently challenges.

Moisture Sensor Industries

Nearly every industry whose product can be altered by moisture content can benefit from a plug-and-play moisture sensor. From food products to wood pulp, moisture sensors can aid in the improvement of quality, effectiveness and product consistency. Maintaining correct moisture levels can also increase plant safety by preventing dust explosions and similar events. These are some industries that can be assisted by a MoistTech moisture sensor.

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,
