Perlite Moisture
MoistTech’s Solution
The IR-3000 near infrared (NIR) online moisture transmitter provides instant, non-contact measurement of moisture during the refinement of perlite in any industrial setting. What makes the IR-3000 well suited to the perlite refinement process is its insensitivity to particle size. From the finest of fines to extremely coarse grades of perlite, the IR-3000 is unsurpassed in accurate moisture measurement, making it the ideal solution for controlling perlite moisture in your process.
Installation
The sensor of the IR-3000 can be installed at any point along the refinement process, from bed dryers to screw and drag conveyors or down chutes. The online moisture transmitter can be in a stand alone or multi-sensor configuration. In addition to the measurement of moisture, other analyzers are available for installation to measure and control coating thickness, resin content, oil, protein, fat, nicotine, sugar, seasonings, plastic film thickness, and other constituents, making the IR-3000 the most versatile measurement instrument in your industrial application.
Environment
Because communication with the sensor can be accomplished with Ethernet TCP/IP, plant-wide network, touch screen interface, or laptop, the IR-3000 can be installed in nearly every industrial environment. Its rugged design is impervious to ambient or other light effects, dust, temperature, and environmental humidity. The unit itself is very low maintenance and does not require recalibration.
