Moisture content of ore or any other relevant bulk solid material

Microwave-based solutions enable continuous, noncontact monitoring on conveyor belts, while neutron moisture measurement provides a reliable solution for storage environments such as bunkers, stockpiles, or silos. Both technologies deliver real-time moisture values, allowing precise adjustments to process parameters. This helps reduce material losses, optimize energy consumption, and improve process stability and throughput.
