MoistScan MA 500HDi Features

The MA-500HDi incorporates the MoistScan® patented microwave moisture measurement technique with NFA® (near field analysis) technology. The MA-500HDi is highly responsive to subtle changes in moisture. It is a proven performer on hematite. The moisture detector may also be suitable for measuring moisture in magnetite ores however this is highly application dependent, please speak to our factory for assessment of your magnetite application.

The MA-500HDi fits to a standard belt conveyor such that the microwave transmitter is located below the belt and the detector is located above the material. This enables real time moisture determination of the material as it passes through the measurement zone.

The rugged C-frame configuration is supplied fully assembled and is easily installed. The control enclosure with the industrial touch screen interface can be mounted on the C-frame as standard. Alternatively, a remote mounting option is available on request, which allows the interface to be mounted further away from the C-frame installation, e.g. control room or electrical switch room.

The user-friendly interface puts the power of easy set up and maintenance in the hands of the operator, designed with simple-to-use menus. The MA-500HDi also features built in data storage and communication capabilities enabling technical support via remote access for diagnostic purposes and periodic calibration verification. In addition, sending and receiving plant data has never been easier with a host of industry standard protocols to choose from.
