Online moisture measurement - M-Sens 3

Online moisture and process temperature measurement

M-Sens 3 for bulk solids measurement

Our proven continuous moisture measurement M-Sens has been equipped with two new additional features. Now it is possible to receive the material temperature continuously via a separate 4 … 20 mA output.

✓ immediate and accurate measurement of the process temperature up to 80 °C
✓ temperature signalling via a separate 4 ... 20 mA output
✓ optional display in ° Celsius or ° Fahrenheit

With the integrated temperature measurement the user receives another important process parameter in real time, which is particularly interesting for drying, heating or cooling processes.

Furthermore the M-Sens 3 sensor also offers the function of flow detection. The new „FD feature“ (Flow Detection) extends process reliability, especially when used in applications with materials that tend to cake. The new FD function immediately detects whether the material in front of the sensor is in motion. Only when material is moving it is ensured that not the same material sample is permanently measured, resulting in a falsified measurement value.
In addition, the M-Sens 3 issues an alarm as soon as no material flow occurs. For example, if there is no material flow through a screw conveyor anymore, this won’t be seen by the process control system, but the M-Sens 3 generates an alarm as soon as material is no longer conveyed.

Moisture monitoring for process automation Water injection automation in coffee production
Moisture monitoring for process automation
Water injection automation in coffee production The food industry is in constant revolution when the subject is measurement. Controlling exact amounts of condiments, spices and all sort of ingredients is direct related to important quality factors like consistency, flavour and due period. Coffee is a daily drink for a lot of people, it means people can notice quickly small changes in the flavour. During the manufacturing process coffee should be roasted in specific temperature ranges and it is directly connected to the moisture content. One of our customers asked for a measurement system to monitor moisture after the final roaster. In that part of the process it is essential to keep characteristics good enough to conveying till the packing sector and deliver with the taste that everyone appreciates. Process data Customer: Coffee producer Product: Coffee grains Moisture range: 3,5 - 5 % Installation: Slide after final roaster Function: Control water injection into the roaster Solution The

Calculation of wheat requirements with flow measurement Mass flow measurement with SolidFlow 2.0
Calculation of wheat requirements with flow measurement
Mass flow measurement with SolidFlow 2.0 In a food production company in Hongkong, different types of baked goods like bread or biscuits are produced. In the plant, wheat is transported from a main silo to smaller production containers for further processing. The material is transported to the rotary valve by means of a pneumatic conveying line (DN 100) into the container. The objective of our customer was to obtain detailed information about the material flow in the conveying pipe between the main wheat silo and the smaller production container. Process data: Customer: Food producer (Hongkong) Material: Wheat Quantity: 5 t/h Installation: Pneumatic conveying line after rotary valve Function: Measurement of actual wheat consumption Solution: For monitoring and measuring the actual wheat consumption two SolidFlow 2.0 sensors have been installed. The SolidFlow 2.0 continuously measures solid quantities up to 20 t/h in free fall or in pneumatics. In this application, the sensors are installed

Moisture monitoring with M-Sens 2 Compliance with optimal process conditions
Moisture monitoring with M-Sens 2
Compliance with optimal process conditions Application In the process of manufacturing corks, the cork wood is milled to undergo a series of compression and molding steps. In order to make an useful compaction, one of the most important factors is the cork moisture. If the moisture is outside the recommended range the mass will be poorly formed. With low material moisture the mass is easily undone and in case of high water content more clogs are caused in the process. Process data Customer: Cork caps producer Material: Cork Installation: Mixer Function: Moisture monitoring Solution The M-Sens 2 is a continuous moisture meter based on microwave technology. In the described application M-Sens 2 was used in the mixer to monitor the cork moisture during the mixing process. In case of changes of the moisture content the heat injection in the mixer is changed to ensure an ideal moisture during the mixture.

Velocity measurement for careful material transport SpeedFlow 2.0-Pipe
Velocity measurement for careful material transport
SpeedFlow 2.0-Pipe Application For the production of hygiene products, the required fibre material has to cover long conveying distances. Too fast conveyor speeds cause a high loss of material, because the fibre material turns into dust. This dust development results in less yield at the end of the process as well as damaging the filter systems. Due to this problem, the manufacturer searched for a velocity measurement without material contact to ensure that the specified conveying speeds were not exceeded and to guarantee the required careful material transport. Process data Customer: Manufacturer of hygiene products (Germany) Material: Fibre material Installation: Conveyor pipe (DN 350) Function: Measurement of material speed for careful transportation The solution The SpeedFlow 2.0-Pipe sensor is designed for continuous velocity measurement of solids such as granules, powders and dust in pipes.

Blockage detection by ProGap S Transportation of minerals
Blockage detection by ProGap S
Transportation of minerals Application In the extraction or processing of natural stones those stones (basalt and lava) in different sizes are transported to a first screening by a conveyor belt. In some cases the screen may occasionally become blocked. As soon as the screen is clogged, the stones jam in the feed chute. If this blockage reaches the previous belt, it might be damaged. The common consequences: costly and time-consuming production downtimes.
