    PCE Instruments MWM 210 Moisture Meter for Industrial Production

    # MWM 210

    • For industrial continuous production of wood pellets, chips, sawdust and similar materials, in-line moisture measurement for monitoring and controlling the mixing process is important.
    • PCE Instruments planar sensors are at a suitable point in the ground or screwed in the wall of the mixer (e.g.pan mixer, screw mixer). It can also be used when other variants or types are used, e.g. for in-line moisture measurement of additives (hopper for sand).
    • In combination with a control system (SCADA or DCS) or a real-time moisture measurement sensor control & control unit of PCE Instruments, this is a true control of a sensor for measuring humidity.
    • For industrial continuous production of wood pellets, chips, sawdust and similar materials, in-line moisture measurement for monitoring and controlling the mixing process is important.
    • The production of wood products is subject to, e.g. large fluctuations caused by varying moisture contents of the raw and auxiliary materials (sands, aggregates). A reduction of these moisture fluctuations during storage is possible, but not easy to implement. Therefore, it makes more sense to do continuous online / inline moisture measurement during the mixing process to determine the respective component humidity or moisture. Subsequently, the dosage of water is controlled. This procedure not only allows the equalization of the quality of each batch but also reduces the mixing time.

    An integrated temperature sensor continuously measures the temperature of the wood products (The r eadings are displayed. These are used internally for temperature compensation).
    Please note that we will need further information to provide a final price for supply and fit. We will need to know what materials are to be measured, we will need samples of the material, and we will need a technical drawing showing where the sensor is to be installed.
