PERIODIC Investments

By the experts at MoistTech Corp. 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.

Role of moisture measurement When considering quality improvement programs, it is easy to overlook the role of continuous moisture monitoring. Adding a moisture sensor to your line allows for the continuous, real-time collection of moisture data during production. This continuous stream of data provides you with immediate feedback and insights into your production environment. Use this data to detect areas of improvement for quality, efficiency and waste reduction. Support line quality improvements and lean manufacturing with a continuous moisture monitoring system. Continuous moisture data uses Having access to continuous moisture data can make a world of difference for line quality improvements. By constantly monitoring moisture levels, you can ensure that product specifications are met consistently, preventing costly quality issues that arise from moisture variability. This predictive insight supports better process control and contributes directly to the stability and uniformity of your finished products. Real-time adjustments Since operators can monitor data in real-time, they can make adjustments as soon as they are detected, instead of waiting until future along in the process to notice these discrepancies. This helps to maintain moisture levels within specific parameters for consistent product quality. Continuously monitoring moisture levels aids in the early detection of inconsistencies, deviations and other trends that could lead to quality issues down the road. Intervening early can help prevent defects before quality is compromised. Process optimization Analyzing moisture data over time is beneficial for identifying optimization opportunities. Continuous moisture monitoring helps identify trends, fluctuations and outliers that might otherwise go unnoticed with traditional periodic testing. This can improve cycle times, line efficiency and product uniformity, among other factors. Consistent moisture levels are critical to reducing scrap and rework. Noticing discrepancies early in the process cuts down on affected materials, making for fewer off-spec products. This not only lowers raw material waste but also saves production time and operational costs associated with rework. Moreover, maintaining proper moisture balance enhances product quality, leading to higher customer satisfaction. Increased efficiency in production A multitude of benefits are seen for manufacturers with a moisture control system suited for their application, including:

• Reduced dryer usage and energy costs.
• Proper control of the infeed and dryer exit.
• Better quality and consistency of final product.
• Dust and fire elimination.
• Reduced purchase costs from water weight.
• Reduced amount of wear and tear on equipment from ash and dust build-up.
• Prevention of blockages on conveyor.

By mounting a sensor several inches above the conveyor and/or after the dryer, the process can be continuously monitored and moisture content can be controlled either manually or automatically during production. Another reason for moisture detection with the process is that dust from the product creates and environment prone to fires due to the dry conditions. The sensors are specifically designed to ensure accuracy and repeatability. Additionally, there is no need to regulate temperature control, making them easy to use. Manufacturers can experience immediate adjustments to their process based on real-time measurements, as the sensor reads and records hundreds of data points per second. Immediate changes can be made to the production line directly through the programmable logic controller (PLC) needed, to stop extra waste and maintain the effective movement of production lines. Additionally, costly downtime and excessive waste is avoided by catching any out-of-tolerance readings as quickly as possible. Manufacturers can connect the sensors to a computer network or production laptop for complete software control of the production line, creating a closed loop process. About MoistTech Corp.
