MA-500 Moisture Analyzer

The MoistScan® MA-500 is the world’s most popular on-belt microwave moisture analyzer.

Powered by Callidan’s MoistScan® patented microwave moisture measurement technique, the MA-500 provides real-time information on product moisture via a local HMI and through seamless integration with the plants DCS.

The MA-500 outputs both analog and digital data enabling immediate manual process adjustment and real-time process automation. The MA-500 is typically used to control conveyor speed, resident times in dryers, moisture dosing, moisture extraction and processing equipment.

In conjunction with mass measuring devices the MA-500 inline microwave moisture analyzer is used in the mining & mineral processing industry for volume reconciliation from pit to port.

Easily installed across the conveyor, the MA-500 does not interfere with product flow.

The MoistScan® MA-500 is used extensively in the mining & mineral processing, building product manufacturing and chemical manufacturing industries.

Benefits	Features
•    Superior Precision and Accuracy	•    Analyzes 100% of the material on the conveyor from       top to bottom •    Uses MoistScan® patented microwave technology       which is the most popular microwave technology       on the market for measuring moisture in bulk       materials.
•    Belt Scale not required	•    Measures the bed depth of the material to       compensate for mass flow rate. Other  microwave       analysers often require an input from a beltweigher       or a radioactive source
•    Non Contact	•    No contact with the material
•    Non Nucleonic	•    No radioactive source is required
•    Low Whole of Life Costs	•    As no beltweigher or radioactive source is required       the ongoing costs associated with servicing and       regulatory compliance is minimal. •    No wearing parts •    No consumables
•    Easy to Install	•    Fully assembled and easily bolts to the stringer       supports of the conveyor
•    Seamless Plant Integration	•    Wide range of communication options for transmitting       data to Plant PLC
•    Remote Access Calibration &       Servicing	•    Cost-effective remote communication access for       periodic checking of calibration

 

 

Models include:

MA-500 - Suitable for low to medium density material and bed depths up to 300mm
