Visit Booth LU-7640 to Witness Improved Quality, Productivity, and Energy Efficiency in Production Lines

Sarasota, FL - MoistTech Corp., the global leader in moisture measurement and control, announces it will highlight the IR3000 Series Moisture Sensors at PACK EXPO International 2024, to be held November 3-6, 2024, at McCormick Place, Chicago, Illinois, Booth LU-7640. Featuring cutting-edge NIR (Near Infrared) technology for exceptionally accurate and reliable moisture analysis of virtually any product or raw material, the instant, continuous moisture measurement significantly enhances quality, productivity, and energy efficiency.

The MoistTech state-of-the-art near-infrared technology achieves unparalleled accuracy, delivering true, repeatable results year after year with little or no maintenance. Pre-calibrated in the factory with customer samples, the IR3000 is guaranteed to never drift over time or need recalibration. Other technologies necessitate monthly or yearly calibrations that not only incur costs but result in downtime. Calibrations for up to 50 different products or product variations can be stored in each IR3000 sensor.

Moreover, the accuracy of the IR3000 is unaffected by most material variations such as height and color and by ambient temperature and lights, unlike competing technology. To ensure the most accurate moisture reading, MoistTech software automatically compensates for small gaps, inert material, foreign objects, and conveyor surfaces. The IR3000 utilizes cast aluminum enclosures to effectively disperse heat and ensure more accurate readings, in contrast to competing sensors that use polished steel which holds and creates heat.

The IR3000 generates an instant return on investment by enhancing product quality and consistency, while simultaneously boosting productivity through decreased downtime and waste. Dependable moisture measurement and control ensures that production is proactive rather than reactive. Unlike traditional post-production testing methods, which can be time-consuming, even manual at times, the IR3000 ensures precision at every stage. Incorrect moisture levels often necessitate costly product reworks, resulting in unnecessary waste and inflated expenses. In addition to measuring moisture, the IR3000 can measure and control: coating thickness, oil, resin content, protein, fat, sugar, seasonings, nicotine, plastic film thickness, and many other constituents.

Real-time, continuous moisture measurement enables operational personnel to make crucial, immediate adjustments to the production process. Furthermore, continuous NIR online moisture testing enables precise control of ovens and dryers to optimize the production process, resulting in substantial energy savings. Given the substantial investment in these ovens and dryers and the costs to run them, precise settings can translate into considerable savings for companies.

The IR3000 sensor is a complete solution that is easy to install and integrate into existing production lines and does not require the purchase of any additional hardware or software. Its non-contact design minimizes contamination and maintenance, allowing for continuous operation without interfering with manufacturing processes. The IR3000 offers remote control capabilities, eliminating the necessity for on-site personnel.

The IR3000 can be found in thousands of applications all over the world across the Food & Pet Food, Chemical, Converting/Paper, Minerals/Bulk Materials, Renewable Energy, Textiles/Nonwoven, Tobacco, and Wood industries.
