Moisture is money and is one of the important quality parameter in many industrial products including paper. Optimal control of moisture content at specified levels in paper during production results in energy & raw material savings . Infrared Moisture sensors for both on-line and laboratory use have been successfully developed and deployed in a couple of paper mills.
Moisture Gauge MG-02 is a stand alone rapid measuring instrument for quick analysis of moisture in sheet like materials like paper, textiles, tobacco leaf etc., It consists of a transmission type Near Infrared sensor and a built in microcomputer that processes the signals digitally and displays percentage moisture instantaneously .This is contrast to the known conventional laboratory methods, which may take anywhere between 1 hour to several hours depending on the nature of the product.
Application in quality control laboratories of paper and textile industries for instantaneous digital display of moisture content.It may also be useful in tobacco leaf drying and other related agricultural research.
raw material savings
energy savings
qualitative improvement in the end product
This is a stand alone moisture gauge that uses the principle of selective absorption of infrared radiation by water molecules present in the specimen.Transmission type infrared Moisture gauge is suitable for measuring in sheet like materials that are trasparent to near infrared wavelengths (for example paper, textiles, tobaco leaves, etc)
Non-contact, Non-destructive,ideal for on-line use
