Wherever conventional measuring technologies such as microwave or capacitive moisture sensors meet their limits, the neutron measurement technology is a reliable and accurate alternative. The well-proven measuring principle is, for example used to monitor the moisture of coke, sand, sinter and lime sand brick online and continuously. Factors such as temperature, pressure, pH-value or colour of the material don’t have an effect on the measuring performance.
The neutron system penetrates deep into the material and measures directly in the material flow. Depending on the application and requirements, either the surface probe (1) or the bunker probe (2) can be used.

Advantages

• Continuous moisture measurement
• Optimum measurement position in the material flow
• Reliable technology
• Representative results due to large measuring volume
• Easy to install on existing tanks, bunkers or conveyor belts
• Low source activity due to highly sensitive He-3-counter tubes
• Determination of all water molecules, irrespective of their physical or chemical binding.
• Low maintenance, no moving parts
• Easy to calibrate
