Eliminate bulk handling problems
Principle of operation
The MoistScan MA-600CMA in-chute real time moisture meter is designed specifically for applications where there is a need to measure moisture of the material as it falls under gravity whilst passing through a chute or hopper.
MoistScan MA 600CMA
The MA-600CMA sensors are custom-built to fit the chute or vessel size and shape. Configured to create an electromagnetic field through which the material passes, in order to detect changes in the microwave properties of the magnetic field. The percentage moisture and amount of the material is calculated and continuously reported in real time.
The real time measurement provides early warning to potential moisture build-up in the lower part of the vessel, which could cause bulk handling difficulties. Alternatively, it may be used to determine material dry tons being fed from one process point to the next.
The control enclosure is mounted in close proximity of the sensors or it may be installed in the control 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-600CMA also features built in data storage and communication capabilities of the enable 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.
Key Feature #1
Superior Precision and Accuracy; contactless measurement of 100% of product bed conveyed.
Key Feature #2
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 #3
Seamless control system integration with a wide range of optional serial communication protocols to choose from.
Key Feature #4
Simple installation requiring only four bolts to mount the analyser to braces perpendicular across the conveyor structure.
- Hopper
- Interface plate
- Non-metallic wear resistant cover
- MA-600 sensor
Key Feature #5
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.
