Sand & Glass Fiber
Moisture Measurement Solutions
Sand and glass fiber applications share one core issue: moisture is a central production parameter that must be dynamically controlled. For sand, it changes process choice, screening, and dewatering cost. For glass fiber, it affects fiber formation stability and batching accuracy, while traditional oven checks are too slow.
Industry Challenges
Key Pain Points
- Sand moisture affects screening efficiency, dewatering cost, and dust risk
- Glass-fiber moisture is hard to control in real time with traditional tests
- Poor moisture management raises safety and energy costs
- Plants need faster feedback for batching and drying correction
Technical Impact
Why Moisture Matters
- Dynamic moisture control helps align process efficiency, quality, and safety
- Continuous data improves aggregate handling and glass-fiber production stability
- Online measurement supports more accurate batching and lower drying cost

Scope
Typical Applications
- Suitable for sand processing, aggregate dewatering, and glass-fiber moisture control
- Useful where real-time data is needed faster than oven methods can provide
- Supports machine replacement in batching-critical fiber applications
Installation
Recommended Measurement Positions
- Above sand and aggregate conveyors before storage or batching
- At glass-fiber transfer or drying exit points
- At process locations where moisture feeds batching correction logic
Details
Process Control Notes
- Traditional drying methods can take around 20 hours in some glass-fiber related checks.
- For sand, both process efficiency and dust or dewatering cost are linked to moisture.
- This industry benefits from dynamic control rather than fixed periodic sampling.
FAQ
Industry-Specific Questions
Drying processes often change faster than laboratory checks can keep up with. In applications such as starch, baking soda, calcium carbonate, ceramics, PVC additives, and washed sand, moisture affects product quality, energy cost, flowability, storage stability, and downstream performance. Online measurement helps operators see those changes during production instead of after the product has already moved downstream.
