- Moisture Sensor

For industrial continuous production of wood pellets, chips, sawdust and similar materials when on-line moisture measurement for monitoring and controlling the drying and mixing process is important. Consistent quality of every batch, reduction of the consumption of materials, and shortest possible drying and mixing times are the criteria which are important in materials production. The PCE-MWM 300P moisture test sensor of PCE Instruments helps meet those criteria through highly accurate moisture measurement.

• Measuring range: 0 … 100%
• The maximum permissible error (absolute): Lab analysis of your sample determines % error
• Temperature range: -40 … +150 °C  (-40 … +302 °F)
• Current consumption: 200 mA
• Power supply : 24 (18 … 36) VDC
• Questionnaire starts evaluation process
• Application: pellets, wood chips

For industrial continuous production of wood pellets, chips, sawdust and similar materials when in-line moisture measurement for monitoring and controlling the drying and mixing process is important. Consistent quality of every batch, reduction of the consumption of materials, and shortest possible drying and mixing times are the criteria which are important in materials production. The PCE-MWM 210 moisture test sensor of PCE Instruments helps meet those criteria through highly accurate moisture measurement.

• Measuring range: 0 … 100%
• The maximum permissible error (absolute): Lab analysis of your sample determines % error
• Temperature range: +5 … +80 °C  (+41 … +176 °F)
• Questionnaire starts evaluation process

Suitable for determining the humidity of bulk substances, this moisture sensor can be fitted into containers and systems such as troughs, bunkers, distributors, augers, conveyors, bins and silos. This permits 24/7 moisture measurement of fibrous materials, sawdust, gravel, fly ash (mineral), wood chips (surface to 5 cm) feed grain, flour, pastes, seed, or similar bulk or flowing substances.

• PCE-MWM 240-B Rod sensor (custom length 500 … 1500 mm)
• Lab analysis of your sample determines % error
• Measuring range: 0 … 100%
• Material temperature range: -0 … +80 °C  (+41 … +176 °F)
• Analog and digital signal output

The PCE-A-315 inline or in-process moisture sensor provides exceptionally accurate grain moisture measurement in real time. The PCE-A-315 in-process moisture meter uses low-power microwaves to penetrate the surface every 0.2 second and obtain interior moisture readings without causing any damage. An integrated temperature probe ensures the readings are accurate from 5°C to 55°C / 41°F to 131°F. Suitable for the continuous monitoring of moisture in corn, soybeans, wheat, rice, sorghum, barley, oats, rye, hops, green coffee, cocoa beans, oil seeds, flax seeds, sunflower seeds, poppy seeds, pumpkin seeds, spelt seeds, buckwheat, sesame, peas, fava beans, scarlet runner beans, triticale, amaranth and jatropha.

• Boasts a measurement range of 5% to 40% for moisture content during  continuous mass flow with an error of just ±0.5% from 5% to 18% grain  moisture
• Lowers energy costs by enabling shorter drying times and reduces labor costs  by automating the moisture monitoring process
• Provides nearly maintenance-free operation, delivering consistently accurate  moisture readings over time
• Analog output of 4 to 20 mA can be converted to digital for dryer control
