Near Infrared Moisture Sensing Technology for Instant Data
Sustainability has become a boardroom priority for manufacturers under pressure to cut waste, reduce energy use, and prove measurable environmental progress. At the same time, production teams still need to protect throughput, quality, and profitability on every line run.
Moisture control sits at the center of this balance, making the way you measure and manage moisture in a
critical sustainable production decision. MoistTech Corp.’s non-contact NIR technology enables precise, continuous moisture and oil analysis across a wide range of products and raw materials.
Traditional lab-based moisture testing forces lines to stop and start while samples are pulled, tested, and adjusted. Those delays often lead to conservative over-drying “just to be safe,” which wastes energy, damages product quality, and increases scrap.

A smarter approach uses continuous, real-time data to keep moisture exactly where it needs to be. Across large production volumes, even small improvements in moisture accuracy translate into meaningful sustainability and cost gains.
Many facilities still rely on periodic manual sampling and lab measurements to control moisture. While familiar, this approach provides only a snapshot in time and can lag minutes or hours behind actual process conditions. By the time results come back, operators may already have produced a significant amount of off-spec material.
MoistTech’s non-contact, in-line sensor continuously measures moisture as the product moves along the line. This real-time data enables closed-loop control, where dryers and heaters automatically adjust based on current conditions instead of delayed lab feedback.
Precise moisture control helps manufacturers:
- Reduce raw material waste by keeping product within spec the first time.
- Lower energy use by avoiding excessive drying or heating.
- Stabilize quality so fewer shipments are rejected or reworked.
