MoistScan® MA-700 In–Pipe Online Microwave Moisture Sensor

General Description

Designed to enable real-time monitoring of materials transported via pipe conveyor, the MoistScan^® MA-700 In-Pipe Microwave Moisture Meter is ideal for monitoring moisture at various points along the processing chain.

Typically located at the exit or entry to dryers, ovens, granulators, cookers, extruders and storage bins, the MA-700 seamlessly integrates with your plants DCS enabling real-time feedforward-feedback control. The MA-700 also includes a local display allowing plant operators to manually adjust critical processing equipment.

Able to accommodate the flow of material in both dense and lean phases, The MoistScan^® MA-700 is entirely non-invasive having nil affect on the dynamics of material flow. The interchangeable HDPVC pipe spool design accommodates a wide range of pipe diameters.

The MA-700 is customized for each industry to comply with industry-specific safety, health and hygiene standards.

Models exist for mining & mineral processing, food processing, building product manufacturing and chemical manufacturing.

 

 

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.
•    Mass Compensation Device Not       Required	•    Analyser operates independent of mass flow rate
•    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

 

 

Application examples

 

Food Manufacurer - Queensland, Australia

Instrument: Material: Installation: Moisture: Purpose:

MA-700 In-Pipe Analyser Corn/Rice Mix Conveyor at the outlet of a fluid bed drier less than 1% Maintain consistent moisture at the outlet of the fluid bed drier & reduce gas consumption of the drier.

 

Dairy - United Kingdom

Instrument: Material: Installation: Moisture: Purpose:

MA-700 In Pipe Analyser (trial only) Butter In Pipe immediately exiting a butter churn 16% Control water addition to butter churn. The output from the MoistScan is linked to a water pump inverter which automatically adjusts the water pump when the moisture falls above or below set tolerance levels
