MoistTech Corp., a leader in the world of moisture monitoring and control, will showcase its IR3000 series moisture sensors at the FEW Expo.
The system uses state-of-the-art NIR (Near Infrared) technology to analyze moisture levels of almost any product or raw material with remarkable accuracy and dependability.
A byproduct of making ethanol is dried distillers grains, or DDG. Distillers grains are a nutrient-rich byproduct that is left over after the starches in grains are fermented to make ethanol. Dried distillers grains (DDGs) are the outcome of drying these distillers grains to lower the moisture level. When creating DDG, the IR3000’s instantaneous, continuous moisture measurement greatly improves quality, productivity, and energy efficiency.
Modern near-infrared technology from MoistTech provides unmatched accuracy and produces real, repeatable results year after year with little to no maintenance. With client samples pre-calibrated at the factory, the IR3000 is guaranteed never to drift or require recalibration. Certain technologies require annual or monthly calibrations, which are expensive and cause downtime. Each IR3000 sensor may store calibrations for up to 50 distinct goods or product variations.
Furthermore, unlike rival technologies, the IR3000’s accuracy remains unaffected by the majority of material variables, including height, color, ambient temperature, and lighting. MoistTech software automatically accounts for conveyor surfaces, inert material, tiny gaps, and foreign objects to guarantee the most accurate moisture reading. Unlike rival sensors that employ polished steel that retains and generates heat, the IR3000 uses cast aluminum enclosures to effectively disperse heat and guarantee more accurate readings.
By improving product quality and consistency and reducing waste and downtime, the IR3000 increases productivity and yields a quick return on investment. DDGs are frequently included to animal feed as a high-protein supplement. When conditioning feeds, moisture content is crucial since too much moisture might clog the pellet mill. It is recommended that pellets be safely stored if their ultimate moisture content is less than 13 percent.
Using continuous, real-time moisture measurement, operational staff may quickly and effectively alter the production process. Moreover, NIR analysis eliminates the need for any manual steps involved in sample collection, drying, and precise weighing. The control system receives real-time data directly for process control.
There is no need to buy any extra hardware or software because the IR3000 sensor is a complete solution that is simple to integrate into current production lines. Because of its non-contact design, which reduces maintenance and pollution, it may operate continuously without affecting industrial processes.
