Moisture and mass flow measurement in the bulk industry

In several industries, it is essential to know the throughput and moisture content of the extracted materials during extraction and processing. With the help of a bulk flow measurement, the conveying capacity or solids mass can be determined. This enables, among other things, optimum utilization of storage capacities and compliance with delivery and production quantities. Moisture also plays an important role as it affects not only the quality but also the handling of the product. With the combined measurement solution of radiometry and microwave technology Berthold makes it possible to determine in real time the throughput as well as the product moisture precisely and contact-free. Thanks to the measurement principle and the patented stabilization methods, the measurements remain completely unaffected by external influences such as dust, vibrations, fluctuations in belt tension, temperature, aging, or external radiation.
Example: Gravimetric measuring systems, such as load cells, can result in costs of up to 40,000 €/day caused by inaccuracies due to their measuring principle. Using our system solution, you can expect a measurement accuracy of ±0.5 (single standard deviation). This means that the investment will pay for itself in a very short time.
