DENSITY AND MOISTURE CONTENT MEASUREMENT

Instek Control • Oct 09, 2017

Werne&Thiel has been in the field of moisture measurement techniques for 35 years. They specializes in the measurement of moisture in different kinds of materials such as Cement/ Ready-mix, Drying Ovens, Grain Measurement, Weighing Containers, Wood Chips, Sand, Dewatered Sewage Sludge, Dried Powder and Wood Pellets. This could include dry products such as coffee, milk powder, grain, maize wheat and flour. Virtually any dry product on the market can be measured for moisture content.

DENSITY MEASUREMENT

OLAS (Optical Light Absorption Sensor) Absorptiometry and density measurement. This Sensor (OLAS), fabricated by Werne&Thiel GbR sends light into the material of interest (medium) and makes use of the accurately measured absorption of light to determine the composition of medium.

With this method not only the composition of water slurries, suspensions and composite materials of all kinds (e.g. cement slurry, chemical pulp, etc.) can be determined, but also the thickness of foils and coatings and much else. Whatever in production, manufacturing or processing results in a change of absorption of light of medium can be measured, monitored and controlled by the OLAS .

Density measurement in concrete residual water. The development of the OLAS measuring system, an online measuring system, that determines the solid content of concrete recycling water, was initiated years ago. It has been established into a reliable and economic measuring system reaching product maturity. OLAS, named after its functionality namely:

Optical Light Absorption Sensor, makes use of a sophisticated and modernized infrared absorption measuring method, in which the measurement of light is introduced into the medium through optical fibres.

When desired, OLAS can be supplemented by the OLASTPC (OLAS Touch Panel Controller), an optimal evaluation that functions as a display and control unit that forms a complete measurement system.

Salute Giovanni Venturi!

By Instek Control • 05 Nov, 2019
In this blog post we are going back in time to toast the life of Italian physicist Giovanni Battista Venturi (1764 – 1822). He was responsible for figuring out an important element in basic fluid and airflow dynamics, which came to be known as The Venturi Effect.

Now available: Conductivity sensor with IO-Link

Digitalisation has already found its way into many branches of industry under the keywords "Industry 4.0" or "Internet of Things", and today it is impossible to imagine life without it. INSTEK Control is excited to announce that the new dimension in hygienic measuring technology is digital and analogue, compact or remote and modular.

Getting cleaning concentration, time and temperature right: your key to successful brewery sanitation

By Instek Control • 03 Oct, 2019
When it comes to a brewery, you clean to prevent the transfer of tastes from one beer to the next, and you clean to help assure your product is safe for human consumption. In the face of increasing supply and demand, brewing plants are compelled to keep the cost of production as low as possible, without sacrificing safety and quality of the end-product.

Turning up the pressure for consumer product safety

By Instek Control • 09 Sep, 2019
The highest priority in the production of food, beverages and pharmaceuticals is product safety. In sanitary applications, such as the production of vaccines or baby food, the purity, quality and stability of the product must be ensured.
