ACO Automation Components; The experts for moisture measuring Measurement, Display, Command, Control Products and solutions from ACO: - online moisture measurement systems directly in process - laboratory moisture measurement devices - humidity in air or gases (r.H.) up to 300°C and in ppm-range - Eex-sensors - monitoring and controlling moisture values We won’t leave you on your own: Through our long-term experience in moisture measurements ACO can offer you an individual and cost-effectively solution for your measurement conditions. Application area of ACO moisture measurement systems: - concrete industry - ceramic industry - wood-processing industry (wood chips, sawdust) - grain industry - chemical industry - clay industry - feed industry - food industry On our website you will find a detailed list of pre-measured materials from ACO. Obviously ACO is testing new material in-house laboratory on request.

ACO moisture measuring instruments: food industry and pharma industry ACO-Automation Components shows a hygienic solution for using their moisture measurement systems in the food and pharma industry. An ACO moisture measuring sensor determines the water content/residual moisture of bulk material through a food approval plastic plate. This installation kit has been specially developed for measuring bulk goods in screw conveyors. This method prevents a direct contact between the moisture measurement sensor and the bulk solids. https://www.acoweb.de/en/produkte

Visit us! The new interactive website of ACO (Automation Components) makes the information gathering of a moisture measurement more than easy! The website offers a lot of interactive functions and a wide variation of information for realising a moisture measurement and its related mechanical solutions!

April 19.-21.04.2016 - Hall 4/Booth 319 In April 2016 the gates of the Powtech exhibition will be opened again! ACO is looking forward to welcome you at our booth at the Powtech exhibition in Nürnberg. Highly attractive for our clients are individually developed solutions for online moisture measuring situations in different application fields. And besides, ACO proudly presents the new developed AMMS-sensor. Best regards from Black Forest ACO – Automation Components Team (hall 4/booth 319)

increasing quality – increasing efficiency – saving money The field of application for wood is extremely varied. Using wood as a renewable energy source is one of the fastest growing application area for wood. In this kind of timber industry wood is processed in quiet different ways. A few examples for usable material- or transport forms are wood-chips, wood-pellets, wood-shavings or sawdust. To reach a highly effective combustion in the wood-burning ovens a moisture measurement is absolutely essential. On one hand a moisture measurement is able to measure the exact residual moisture in the material. The quality of all produced wooden bulk-materials increases highly by using a moisture measurement. And on the other hand there is also the possibility to raise the efficiency of a plant through optimizing cost-intensive drying- and irrigation processes. A very important aspect by installing a moisture measurement sensor is a well conceived mounting position in the production plant. Every production plant has its own individual…

“all-in-one”: direct measuring – digital processing – analogue output A clever combination of approved measuring systems, long-term experience and close cooperation with clients, ACO developed a new sensor generation: AMMS. With this new Analogue Moisture Measuring Sensor ACO offers a compact sensor suitable for nearly all bulk goods, granules, powders, mixtures, paste-like materials and substances from various industrial fields. This most convincing high quality sensor is equipped with user-friendly calibration by calibration software. Multi calibration up to 10 calibration points is possible. Calibration directly in process is a big advantage. For easier handling calibration directly at the sensor is possible as well. The measuring range or average value can be adjusted conveniently directly at the sensor. The output of measuring value is made by analogue output signal 4…20mA. All electronics are embedded as usual in robust durable stainless steel housing with highly resistant ceramic disc. Due to its identical dimensions…

based on a moisture measuring system from ACO E.ON „MPP3“ coal fired power plant in Rotterdam-Maasvlakte The “MPP3” is the most modern and biggest hard coal fired power plant with the notable gross power rating of net 1070 MW and a net efficiency of over 46%. The “MPP3” wants to reduce the effects on the environment as much as possible. One point to reach an environmental friendly process is the optimisation of the exhaust-desulphurisation unit. The desulphurisation is made by a wet flue gas cleaning unit controlled by a moisture measurement. This flue gas desulphurisation (FGD) is far more effective than in other traditional coal fired power plants. Beyond the “MPP3” can reach a biomass-combustion up to 30%. Of course the district heating is used from the adjacent companies. General description of the process The desulphurisation is based on burnt lime (CaO) thereby the end product gypsum (calciumsulfad-dihydrat) arises. For the analysis of the produced gypsum there is an in-house…

ACO moisture measurement for biomass like wood chips, sawdust and wood shavings Properties: Ideal material conditions for on-line moisture measurement Usable for various material Subsequently applicable in already existing plants Automatic cleaning of sensor surface Optional: turnkey control cabinet for triggering compaction unit The compaction unit SFM1_HACK is specially designed for the determination of residual moisture also of coarse material in the free fall. While the pneumatic cylinder moves the ”back panel” of the SFM1_HACK the falling down material can be compacted and pushed across the ACO moisture sensor in constant conditions. The measuring surface is cleaned automatically. The constant density and steady dumping height of the material enables great measuring results. The SFM1_HACK can be mounted by means of moldings or tubes directly at the dryer entrance but also it can be fixed to a wall (e.g. of a drop shaft). Flanges, screws and cover plate are included in delivery.
