ACO Automation Components

Process automation and optimization with online moisture measurement

Every material has a moisture content f.i. residual moisture content, which can be influenced by the air humidity or the specific addition of water. The moisture content of a material is important for many process steps in production operations. Beginning with influences on storability, its flow behaviour during filling of  big bags, till the processing of the material, problems can arise. Also the consistency, recipe reproducibility, further processing and the consistency of the high quality of the product are the results of water content.

The very rugged sensors are made of high-graded stainless steel. They are designed for the toughest applications and can be retrofitted in existing plants with limited mechanical effort. The measurement is independent of the colour of the material, the minerals it contains, the pH value and salt additions.
