Total Moisture Measurement & Control

Near-Infrared Technology for Complete Moisture Measurement from Lab to Line

Manufacturing’s Answer to Ultimate Moisture Measurement and Control

MoistTech Corp., established in Sarasota, FL is responsible for the industry’s first patented method of non-contact, non-destructive moisture analysis and detection for a multitude of sectors. Improved over time, our near-infrared (NIR) technology still leads the market providing robust and reliable moisture measurement and control for numerous applications.

Top of the line equipment provides manufacturers with the ability to monitor and control moisture, coat weight, thickness, oil and fat/protein within their products to provide essential results. MoistTech manufactures a wide range of on-line and laboratory instruments for measurement and real time moisture process control on numerous applications.

A continuous and reliable reading of the manufacturing line’s moisture content can be immediately seen and maintained with no sensitivity to material variations. Our equipment requires zero maintenance, a one-time calibration and provides a non-drift optical design allowing operational personnel to make process adjustments based on real-time measurements and results.  

Insensitive to material variations, MoistTech’s technology provides continuous, reliable readings to allow immediate process line adjustments and production efficiency improvements, providing energy savings, increased productivity and less material loss.

MoistTech NIR technology is a ratio-based measurement with prime beam, which eliminates sensitivity to distance, improves stability and accuracy. This allows for extremely accurate measurements with far more sensitivity than other technology options. Subsequent to MoistTech’s advanced digital processing, the 3000 series provides true data regardless of gaps and interruptions of product flow on the belt or screw conveyors.

As a standard, there are three isolated 4-20mA outputs along with an ethernet connector and a second one for RS-232/485 serial communications. In addition to the MoistTech management software, several read-out options to display and/or adjust the measurement outputs are available.

Tobacco

      Dryer control is the most sensitive process of tobacco.

           Tons of tobacco are processed on an hourly basis where the volume, temperature and input moisture may vary. The MoistTech Model 828 Tobacco Moisture Sensor provides the ability to monitor and control this process to within a tenth of a percent.

MoistTech Ranks #1 Among Customers:

MoistTech strives to provide the best equipment and support in the industry, proudly providing optimal customer solutions for a variety of indsutries. Here is what a few of our customers have to say:

"For the last few years we have integrated the MoistTech Online Sensor into our customer’s scopes with the goal of a fully optimized closed loop control. When integrated with our stacker reclaimed the results are lower operating costs, safer storage and improved product quality. The instant feedback informs our plant personnel of controlled moisture all throughout the entire process."

"MoistTech Corp. came in and supplied an IR3000 moisture gauge with a vortex cooling panel a few months ago, and to our complete satisfaction, the gauge has been running without any problem due to heat and is correlating with lab test results within 0.1%."

"The knowledgeable MoistTech Team provides our organization with outstanding support through the development and implementation process.  We have worked together on a variety of different projects and applications; their experience has enabled our engineering team to properly evaluate and design systems that meet with our customer’s requirements."
