Intelligent moisture measurement for the iron ore industry
Principle of operation
The MoistScan® MA-500HDi online microwave moisture analyser is purpose engineered for the iron ore industry. It is suitable for iron ore concentrates, filter cake, pellets and sinter blends.
MoistScan® patented technology measures 100% of the material in real time.
No conveyor belt scale required due to built-in material bed depth measurement with compensation for rapidly varying loads, without the use of a radioactive source
Key Feature #3
Industry 4.0 IoT Remote Access for periodic calibration checks and servicing. Personnel don’t need to access the plant improving safety and productivity.
Key Feature #4
Seamless control system integration with a wide range of optional serial communication protocols to choose from.
Key Feature #5
Simple installation requiring only four bolts to mount the analyser to braces perpendicular across the conveyor structure.
Key Feature #6
The analyser interface consists of a built-in industrial colour touch screen with user-friendly intuitive menus requiring very little training to operate and powerful diagnostics.
