Iron Ore Moisture

Essential Implementation

Maintaining the right moisture content throughout iron ore production is critical. From filtering slurry to rolling ore concentrate—moisture levels must be constantly tested and regulated to ensure the best quality end product is achieved.

Iron ore is a type of mineral that, when exposed to a reductant during heating, produces metallic iron. Iron ore byproducts encompass a range of materials, including iron ore tailings (IOT), ternary oxides like spinel ferrites, and emissions linked to ironmaking. Moreover, the iron and steel manufacturing sectors produce diverse byproducts, among which iron powder is included.

For years, instruments capable of the level of accuracy needed in iron ore production did not exist. This forced the mining industry to resort to using less reliable, time-consuming methods. However with the advancement of technology, moisture testing is reaching higher levels of accuracy and efficiency.

Using MoistTech’s CCS3000, you’ll cut production costs while increasing the quality of your end product. The CCS3000 is energy efficient and low maintenance, saving time and money by reducing start-up and downtime, meaning you’ll produce more quality iron ore.

non-contact

Our equipment never comes into contact with the product, allowing for less waste

zero drift

Our sensors are guaranteed not to drift over time – which saves time and money

closed loop

Create a closed-loop process by tying a moisture sensor into your PLC. Full control over the line!

no recalibrations

We’ve mastered the art of moisture sensors – your unit will never need to be recalibrated for the same product twice!

Dryer Control

Efficiency is a top of the line priority for manufacturers and the dryer can drain a lot of that. Measuring the moisture before and after the dryer allows the user to optimize the dryer settings to save time and money. A proper moisture control system will pay for itself with the energy savings from the dryer in less than 30 days. Efficiently controlling the dryer within the facility can drastically change the productivity levels.

Assess

Locate the point in the production process in which measuring moisture will be the most crucial and beneficial. Identify how you will use the moisture measurement data for improvements and if it will tie into your PLC.

Remember this could involve more than one installation point!
