Plastic granule moisture meter Moisture Minder®

for bulk materialswith temperature sensorinstant

Overview
Solution for inline resin moisture analysis. Moisture Minder® detects residual moisture in plastic pellets in real time, records historical trends and logs data to support process monitoring and quality validation. Compatible with drying-monitor systems for validated drying in injection molding and extrusion workflows.

Features

• Real-time sensing: Measures material moisture inline so alerts and alarms occur before out-of-spec parts are produced.
• Wide moisture detection range: Detects resin moisture from very low ppm levels up to higher concentrations.
• Processing rates: Suitable for material throughput from low to high production, compatible with typical pellet handling rates.
• Temperature Alarm Band: Configurable alarm when product temperature is above or below set points.
• Moisture Alarm Band: Configurable alarm when moisture is above or below set points.
• Historical Trending and Data Logging: Capture and review moisture and temperature data for diagnosis and validation.
• Communications: Integrates with plant systems via ModBus TCP/IP; optional OPC UA protocol available.
• Retrofittable: Designed for integration into new or existing systems, including injection molding and extrusion setups.
• No moving parts: 100% electric sensor with minimal maintenance (recommended yearly calibration and clean-out).

Frequently Asked Questions (highlights)

• Retrofittable: Can be integrated into new or existing systems and is flexible for many applications.
• Real-Time Alerts and Trending: Inline moisture readings plus alarms and log files enable validation that parts were produced within acceptable moisture ranges.
• No Moving Parts: Sensor requires minimal maintenance; yearly calibration and clean-out are recommended.
