Inventech provides a moisture sensor for direct installation in fluid bed dryers and granulators. The sensor makes use of a low-energy microwave field which penetrates the granules and detects the water molecules inside as well as at the surface. Continuous measurement is performed during the drying process. The measuring values are independent of varying bulk density, varying particle size, distribution and color.
1. The moisture of the granules can be monitored during the drying process - without taking samples and without waiting for results.
2. During the granulation and drying process a part of the fluidized granular material constantly runs down over the sensor’s front surface.
3. On the sensor’s front surface a low-energy microwave field is generated which penetrates the granules. The instrument measures and analyzes the field’s interaction with the watermolecules.
4. The instrument continuously calculates and displays the actual moisture values. Readings can be monitored online via an attached PC and also are available e.g. for a PLC.
5. The moisture of the granules can be monitored during the drying process - without taking samples and without waiting for results
• Real-time monitoring of moisture
• Measurement directly in the granules
• High accuracy, independent of varying
granule size, density, color
• No manual sampling
• No interruption, no restarting of process
• Avoiding of overdried batches
• Better processibility of granular material
• Longer shelf life of final product
• Saving of processing time
• Saving of energy
Continuous automatic measurement of moisture allows for close monitoring and control of drying processes. Termination of the process at the right moment reduces the risk of spoiling a product batch by overdrying. The built-in moisture sensor doesn‘t require time consuming interruption and restarting of the drying process in order to take samples.
