DLG test confirms accuracy of IMKO inline moisture sensor
The DLG has awarded its DLG-APPROVED test mark to the TRIME-GWs in-line moisture measurement system from IMKO Micromodultechnik for continuous moisture measurement in wheat, barley, and rapeseed.
DLG test mark awarded
The DLG Test Centre has awarded the DLG-APPROVED mark to the TRIME-GWs in-line moisture measurement system developed by IMKO Micromodultechnik GmbH. In comparative laboratory testing, the system demonstrated reliable measurement accuracy for continuous moisture detection in wheat, barley, and rapeseed across important drying and storage moisture ranges.
System setup and technical features
The TRIME-GWs system comprises a measuring transducer housed in an IP65 pressure-die-cast aluminium enclosure, a probe with stainless steel rods (IP68), and a display and configuration unit usable as a tabletop or wall-mounted device. Operating on a 9 to 24 V DC power supply, it covers a moisture measurement range of 5 to 45% and probe temperatures up to 120 °C (short-term up to 150 °C).
Integration in bulk material processes
Designed for stationary installation in processing facilities such as grain dryers, storage silos, receiving hoppers, and discharge units, the system provides continuous digital moisture values. Measured data can be processed as control inputs within automated process loops, such as regulating continuous-flow dryers or driving discharge and conveyor systems.
High sampling frequency and averaging
The unit records measurements at 0.5-second intervals and automatically forms averages over configurable timeframes, typically around one minute. This averaging feature ensures consistent and reliable readings even when bulk materials exhibit uneven moisture distribution during handling and conveying.
