FRANZ LUDWIG, Mainz, Germany, has developed the FL-MOBIMIC-Profi Check which precisely determines a produd´s moisture and temperature. It can be deployed at various locations during mixing, batching, drying and storage processes. The exact percentage of moisture values and thus the net weight of individual bulk goods can be rapidly and exactly determined. The measuring head is made of high-quality stainless steel and designed for easy insertion and/or penetration into the medium being measured.

 

The technology is based on the time-tested microwave measuring system that operates in the frequency range of 433MHz. It makes use of the dielectric constant of water, which has a relative permittivity of Ԑr 80. This parameter indicates the propagation of electric field in the materials. Different media and changing ambient temperatures have no influence on the precision of the microwave measuring method employed. In developing the new system, priority was placed on the basic requirements, such as high reproducibility of the measured values, speed, ease of operation, universal use, a good price/performance ratio, wireless measuring technology, and a compact and robust set up procedure.
