Online Moisture Measuring Systems

Instek Control • Nov 13, 2018

Werne & Thiel moisture measuring sensors always represent the latest technology of well-proven HPRMethod (High Frequency Dielectric Polarisation and Field Refraction) and offer unique precision and reliability. For decades they are in touch with their customers to be able to always give them an innovative product perfectly fitting their needs.

Research and Development
• Since 40 years one of the leading manufacturers of online moisture measuring systems
• Innovation based own research - and development department
• Customer - specific solutions thanks to flexible and individual in - house assembly
• All sensors are developed and manufactured in Germany

Sensors of the newest generation are available by different replaceable wear protections:
• Special-Ceramic (extremely abrasion resistant)
• Wear resistant rubber (abrasion resistant, impact proof)
Accuracy: 0.1% . . . 0.5% depending on installation situation and correct calibration
Easy calibration of the sensor by integrated adjustment unit.
Output Signal: 0-10 V or 0/4-20mA - no additional processing unit required
Operating voltage: 9-30V DC (also available +15V DC and -15V DC)

Specific appointment of moisture thanks internal digital linearization of the measuring signal

Samples of application area:
• Moisture content of sand, gravel, etc in concrete production
• Reprocessing of foundry sand for desired moisture content
• Moisture content of quartz sand e.g. for glass manufacture
• Quality optimizing in food processing
• Corn production
• Fodder industry for animal food
• Woodworking Industry (wood chips, sawdust, wood shavings, wood pellets production)
• Ceramic powders and pastes; metal oxides
• Sludge from the sewage plants

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.
