Moisture Meters

Our devices are based on the measurement of microwave electromagnetic energy absorption by the material. The amount of energy absorbed is in direct proportion to the moisture of the material and does not depend on the quantity and ratio of the components.
Our portfolio covers both  on-line and laboratory moisture meters for a wide range of moisture contents, materials and industrial processes.
We are continually broadening the number of applications for our devices and are committed to developing customer orientated solutions wherever possible.

Typical applications

IDC 201 moisture meter

Description The IDC 201 moisture meter operates on the basis of a two-parameter measurement. The device is therefore insensitive to the density of the material under test and can be used for the continuous moisture measurement of granular and powdered materials on conveyor belts, in hoppers and bunkers. The IDC 201 moisture meter is suitable for measurement of variety of materials, including sugar, sand, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and other materials with low to super low moisture content (0.01% to 17%). The resolution in moisture measurement of the IDC 201 meter is 0.001%. The device is easily incorporated into automatic process control systems. .

 

Description

sugar, flour, malt, sand, fertilizer chemicals, salt, casein, alumina, instant coffee, materials with low to super low moisture content.

IDC 202 moisture meter

The IDC 202 moisture meter is intended for the continuous measurement of a variety of materials (including sand, silicate mixtures, crushed stone, cement) on conveyor belts, in hoppers and bunkers. The IDC 202 is suitable for application in the moisture range from 2% to 16% with a resolution of 0.01% moisture. The device is easily incorporated into automatic process control systems.

IDC 203 moisture meter

The IDC 203 moisture meter is intended for the continuous measurement of materials (e.g. grain) in chutes. For whole grain, the total error of measurement (2 s.d.) is typically no more than 0.5 % moisture. The meter is therefore suitable for the continuous control of moisture and the automation of the conditioning process in flour milling. The device is easily incorporated into automatic process control systems. .

IDC 211 moisture meter

The IDC 211 moisture meter is intended for express measurement of moisture in sugar, malt, dry milk and other powdered or granular materials, under laboratory conditions. The device operates in the moisture range 0.01% to 17%, with a resolution in moisture of 0.001%.
The IDC 211 is insensitive to the bulk density of the material under test and provides automatic correction for temperature.

The ranges of moisture detection given in the table are for general guidance only. Actual specifications for moisture range will depend on the application (i.e. process and material) being monitored. Resolution defines the number of decimal places on the instrument control panel.
The accuracy and sensitivity of our devices varies, depending on the material under test. We define accuracy in terms of the agreement of our values with those determined by the standard reference measurement for the material in question, across the moisture range defined in the specification for the instrument.  We define sensitivity in terms of the agreement between repeat measurements of moisture on a sample of material under test (see Accuracy & Sensitivity Estimation for more detail). Typical values for accuracy lie between 0.005 ­ 0.5 % (moisture). Typical values for sensitivity lie between 0.001 ­ 0.01 % (moisture).
