Moisture content in cement, sand and aggregates

June 2017 Sensors & Transducers

Whether the application is with fine or large aggregates, in dry or saturated conditions, MoistTech’s IR3000 is easy to integrate into process lines, conveyors, bins or silos. The instrument takes instant, non-contact measurements of moisture in percentage (dry) and percentage (wet) measurements, and regulates moisture content either automatically or manually to suit process needs. It’s also capable of measuring temperature and other important constituents.

The IR-3000 is among the best performers when it comes to material moisture analysers.

The intelligent pre-processing of measurement values (300+ per second) allows for smooth average values, adjustable filters, and up to 50 standard calibration curves, stored in the sensor. Three self-powered analog outputs (4-20 mA) allow for easy connection to the control system, and the advanced PC software is included at no charge with connections via Ethernet or RS-232/485.

MoistTech has researched moisture and its application in numerous manufacturing processes for over 35 years and taken its decades of experience and knowledge, along with feedback from its industry partners, to develop a state of the art moisture sensor – the IR3000.
