Importance of Moisture Content

Dolomite (Talc) moisture affects the chemical reaction of the talc with phosphoric acid (for the purpose of enriching agricultural soil amendment products). To optimize the process of this reaction, the moisture content of the dolomite mixture should be maintained from 4% to 10%. In other industrial applications, controlling the moisture content of dolomite is equally important.

Built to outperform the competition in even the most grueling industrial environments, the IR-3000 is suitable for any manufacturing application. Its state-of-the-art components operates despite the presence of dust, inert material, foreign objects, or gaps in the production line. Years of field data confirm that MoistTech’s IR-3000 is unsurpassed for quality and performance in the industry.

The IR3000 moisture sensor provides data that is utilized for regulating the feed rate into the kiln. The rotating furnace of the drying kiln is precisely controlled to ensure consistent clinker quality. The output signal of the IR3000 can be monitored by the kiln controller or directly integrated into the process control system. The last stage of the production process involves cooling and final grinding of the clinker. The moisture level is maintained within a range of ±0.01%, and laboratory tests have shown an accuracy of ±0.1%. As a result, significant savings in time, materials, waste, and product rework have been reported.
