Measuring the moisture on conveyor belts or chutes

Both bagasse and beet pulp contain a certain amount of water, which needs to be measured in order to ensure continuity and downstream process quality.
The Berthold microwave systems are applied to determine online moisture  with a noncontacting measurement on conveyor belts or chutes. Thus, the customer receives representative, in-situ moisture information for optimized process control. Due to the lack of contact, the measurement components are not subject to wear and tear – resulting in maintenance-free operation and long operational life.

Customer benefits

  • Accurate determination of dry substance / residual moisture content
  • Reliable control of downstream processes
  • Precise and representative real-time data
  • Compliant with product quality requirements and customer contracts

 

Characteristics

  • Noncontact, nonintrusive measurement using state-of-the-art microwave technology
  • Online determination of dry substance
  • Highly representative as the entire cross section is measured
  • Compensation of varying height or bulk density available for enhanced measurement performance
  • Maintenance-free operation, without wear and tear
