Applications and advantages of TRIME technology

IMKO GmbH is a state of the art producer of components and systems for moisture measurement in materials. With the SONO series, IMKO GmbH offers a new generation of moisture probes that were developed particularly for the construction industry and food production and can also be used in many other industries. Characterized by the use of the latest TRIME radar technology, the benefits are to measure material moisture precisely, directly, trouble-free, cost-effectively and plug and play with all control systems in a wide variety of applications. Hardly any other dimension has such a decisive influence on product quality as the moisture content - in product development as well as in production itself. The SONO series are used for inline measurements in a wide variety of materials. The improved process control optimizes output, saves energy, increases productivity and gives a significant workload relief. Both, time-intensive and labor-intensive sampling for conventional measuring devices is reduced to a minimum.

Have you ever experienced mystery? A container has been filled with bulk material, after some time the level was checked again and it has decreased. Astonishingly, nothing had been removed? Actually, this sounds familiar to all of us, doesn´t it? The flour in mum´s storage tin has changed its level over time along with flow characteristics. When turning the can upside down - the flour still stays unperturbed. What happened? The flour has settled, the air in the gaps has escaped, the filling level has decreased and the bulk density has increased. Bulk solids specialists refer to this observation as the ”time consolidation of bulk solids”, which is important for silo design and the dimensioning of discharging systems. Another key variable in the design of the silo and the peripheral technology is the moisture content of the bulk material. This can be determined, using various standard methods of sampling and oven drying, drying scales or sophisticated electronic measuring methods. We have been offering measurement technology for bulk solids since the 1990s. The underlying TRIME technology has been continuously improved over the last 40 years
