Optimizing Quality and Efficiency in Paper Converting
In the high-speed environment of carton and board converting, even minor moisture fluctuations can lead to significant defects like warping and uneven coatings. MoistTech’s IR-3000 series utilizes Near-Infrared (NIR) technology to deliver continuous, non-contact measurements directly on the production line. This allows operators to make immediate adjustments, ensuring that paperboard products stay within strict industry specifications.
Advantages
- Instant return on investment through reduced downtime and waste
- Non-contact sensors are insensitive to color, texture, or web speed
- Pre-calibrated, maintenance-free design with no optical drift
- Simultaneous measurement of moisture, coat weight, and thickness
Precision Control for Advanced Packaging Applications
The IR-3000 series is designed to handle the most demanding converting environments, providing accurate data for moisture levels ranging from 2% to 10% under normal conditions. By monitoring key stages such as pre-coating and post-drying, manufacturers can effectively manage dimensional stability and coating adhesion. The system integrates seamlessly into existing PLC or quality control setups.
