Advanced near infrared sensing technology enables continuous, non-contact moisture measurement for quarrying, mining and bulk material applications

Monitoring moisture content in minerals, aggregates, sand and bulk materials

MoistTech Corp‘s IR3000 is an advanced sensor designed to deliver precise, continuous moisture measurement without the need for recalibration.

Utilising near infrared technology, the IR3000 enables operators to monitor moisture content in minerals, aggregates, sand, and bulk materials directly on production lines, reducing waste, improving yield, and ensuring consistent product quality. The sensor is engineered for harsh environments and integrates easily into existing process control systems, making it suitable for a wide range of applications including quarrying operations, mineral processing, aggregate production, and bulk material handling.

With increasing demand for automation and real-time quality control in quarrying and mining operations, MoistTech’s solutions support manufacturers in achieving tighter process control while minimising downtime. The IR3000’s ability to provide instant feedback allows operators to make immediate adjustments, helping to optimise production efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and control dryer operations with precision.
