Our Moisture Measurement System FMS II is installed successfully for the determination of the moisture/water content of many different kind of materials like quartz sand and recycling glass (cullet). The system, comprising of "intelligent" moisture sensor, evaluation electronics and user-friendly software ensures optimum ascertainment of the moisture, as well as monitoring or even correction of the respective recipe for the production process.

The sensors are installed with sliding shoes on conveyor belts feeding broken glass (cullet) or quartz sand to the mixer. Best positioning achieved by using of a sliding shoe directly above the flow of material guarantees an even and continuous measuring. The sensors can also be installed in material chutes, silo outlets, screws and dryers. Moisture content of the medium is measured in-situ, or rather in real-time.

Due to an extensive array of interfaces, the moisture measuring can be smoothly integrated into process control systems. It is even possible to connect it to an onsite Ethernet infrastructure. Because of the hard, nearly wear-free zirconium oxide ceramic sensor surfaces, the wear is reduced to a minimum. The housing is designed in stainless steel and can therefore be used in all conceivable situations. With just one calibration of the sensor according to the local data and conditions, we guarantee exact and replicable results.
