MoistTech is the leader in moisture measurement technology.

MoistTech is the world leader in NIR moisture measurement technology for Instant On-line, Off-line and Laboratory moisture instrumentation. Our MoistTech, near infrared(NIR) gauges and sensors, provide the most accurate and repeatable measurements existing for your manufacturing and quality control process. 

Manufacturers can cut animal production costs without cutting quality. The IR-3000 is a non-contact instrument that accurately measures and regulates moisture. Eliminate product waste and greatly reduce start-up and downtimes with MoistTech, moisture management leaders. 

Stable, fixed moisture levels, ensure that animal food products maintain consistency & that product waste is minimized. Animal food that is too wet or too dry can result in the loss of a manufacturer’s time & money, as well as impact quality of the product. MoistTech can assist in maintaining proper & consistent moisture levels in animal feed as it is essential to high quality final products. When moisture levels aren’t regulated, products are at risk of many threats affecting the overall quality.


 Press Releases

  • Moisture sensors are utilized for measurements of moisture in all kinds of manufacturing applications which is a critical concern during the production process. MoistTech’s near-infrared (NIR) moisture sensor allows manufacturers the ability to adjust moisture levels on real-time information lowering raw material and fuel costs, higher yields, and more uniform products. NIR moisture measurement is a non-contact measurement that offers clear advantages over the traditional methods, most important being ease-of-use, elimination of hazardous chemicals, and increased efficiency of product testing. With NIR analysis, all manual steps of collecting, drying and accurately weighing samples are eliminated.

    Continuous monitoring of moisture content provides proactive avoidance of potential issues caused by out of tolerance moisture levels.

    How/Why controlling Moisture Matters

    When moisture levels fluctuate, it can cause significant changes to the quality of many various types of manufactured products. These inconsistencies mean that your final product will have varying quality depending on when in production they were created. Near-infrared technology is the best solution to accurately measure the moisture levels of multiple applications, offering a solution that meets all quality control factors. Accurately detecting moisture levels frequently throughout the process allows for line adjustments as needed that improve the overall functionality and efficiency of the facility.

    Quality and consistency are crucial when it comes to maintaining a manufacturing line with powdered applications. It is important to have a consistent product from start to finish, which means being able to detect moisture content accurately and frequently. A moisture measurement system is designed to provide accurate moisture measurements as often as needed to improve the manufacturing line and product. Inconsistencies can lead to wasted product and downtime in the manufacturing process. Implementing a moisture control sensor instantly reduces waste and energy costs as well as improves the efficiency of the line. Optimizing and fine tuning the production process can allow for a multitude of benefits

    Benefits of Moisture Analysis:

    • Minimize costs, increase efficiency
    • Instant real-time feedback with thousands of measurements per second
    • Reduced energy usage and downtime
    • Reduction in fire and explosion risk
    • Plant production efficiency monitoring
    • Total dryer control
    • Blending monitoring for control of moisture & resin
    • Increased productivity allows operators to make critical process adjustments
    • Low cost – instant ROI
    • Non-contact, non-drift optical scan with +/- 0.05% accuracy

  • MoistTech manufactures the diamond standard in moisture measurement and control sensors for both use directly on the production line and for laboratory use. Providing the best solution in the industry, our near-infrared sensors can detect moisture levels within your product as well as thickness, and coat weight, oil, and fat/protein content with one unit. This allows our equipment to be a staple for a wide range of sectors and disciplines, including adhesives, biomass, chemicals, coatings, food, forest products, minerals, renewable energy, textiles and wood products.

    Unsurpassed in performance, stability, reliability, and cost of ownership, the MoistTech series of moisture analysis sensors can increase both the quality and efficiency of the manufacturing process. Product quality and consistency are forefront with MoistTech in the development of the IR3000 sensor to accurately provide moisture measurements throughout the process, yielding a consistent, quality product from lab to line that immediately reduces downtime, wasted energy and product loss.

    Designed to provide accuracy and repeatability, the MoistTech technology is a ratio-based measurement with prime beam; this eliminates sensitivity due to distance, improves stability and accuracy. The technology captures hundreds of detailed, accurate measurements per second, providing the ability to pre-set the measurement rate to match the production rate is available on the technology and because there are no routine re-calibrations, this technology is low to zero maintenance which makes it an ideal solution for the manufacturing process.

    The sensors are designed to be installed 4-12 inches above the production line so that it can continuously monitor the production process and can be incorporated into multiple environments including:

    • Belt
    • Conveying systems: screw, chute, roller, chain, drag, elevator and pneumatic
    • Chutes, Cyclones, Bins
    • Webs
    • Pipelines

    Insensitive to material variations such as particle size, material height & color, our moisture sensors provide continuous, reliable readings with zero maintenance and a one-time calibration with a non-drift optical design allowing operational personnel to confidently make immediate process adjustments based on real-time measurements. 

                Utilizing NIR Technology, which is a state-of-the-art, fast, non-destructive method of measuring and controlling moisture content, MoistTech is able to deliver multiple benefits to its clients – ranging from product quality monitoring, increased plant efficiency, lower energy costs and less waste, to precise dryer control, lower costs and higher accuracy. Instant ROI, low-to-zero maintenance and process optimization can also all be achieved through a MoistTech solution.
