APPLICATIONS - PRACTICAL EXAMPLES
•
Installation in a screw
The installation of a moisture sensor in screw feeders proved to be very advantageous, since the
material passes by the sensor window in even intervals and with relatively constant bulk density.
•
Installation on a conveyor belt
By means of the online moisture measurement of solids on a conveyor belt, the operator
can react in due time if the material is too humid or too dry. In consequence, plugging of
subsequent aggregates can be prevented.

Do not install the sensor under or on the
side of the screw, it must be installed
mid-size from bottom, on the side where
material is pushed up
(depending rotation side of the screw).
(Approximattly 30° from the screw bottom).
