Moisture measurement of cereals for dryer efficiency control

M-Sens 2 in food industry

A customer in the Food industry was looking for solutions to improve dryer efficiency and fuel consumption.
The drying process is considerably important for the final product quality and material processing.
Dryer systems can be placed in different parts of the process, according to specific requirements, e. g. before material processing to comply with recipe specifications or between the material processing and packing areas.
To control the dryer performance, some parameters indicate whether it is necessary to adjust the process settings.

Process data
Industry: Food
Material: Cereals (wheat, corn, canola)
Moisture range: 10 - 20 %
Installation: Hopper after dryer
Function: Dryer efficiency control

Solution

Specifically developed for online moisture measurement of bulk solid materials, the M-Sens 2 is very accurate, reliable, robust and easy to use; essential requirements for the purchase decision. The sensor was installed on the hopper directly after the dryer, where material flow occurs constantly and in homogenous conditions. Using the industrial communication protocols enables the generation of different calibration curves according to each material, providing very high accuracy.
Depending on the material processed, the PLC switches the calibration curve automatically, making the procedure as easy and transparent as possible. The fuel consumption was additionally reduced as a result of the moisture information.

Customer benefits

  • Optimization of dryer efficiency
  • Reduction of fuel consumption
  • Control of processing velocity
  • Compliance with moisture set point

M-Sens 3 for bulk solids measurement Our proven continuous moisture measurement M-Sens has been equipped with two new additional features. Now it is possible to receive the material temperature continuously via a separate 4 … 20 mA output. ✓ immediate and accurate measurement of the process temperature up to 80 °C ✓ temperature signalling via a separate 4 ... 20 mA output ✓ optional display in ° Celsius or ° Fahrenheit With the integrated temperature measurement the user receives another important process parameter in real time, which is particularly interesting for drying, heating or cooling processes. Furthermore the M-Sens 3 sensor also offers the function of flow detection. The new „FD feature“ (Flow Detection) extends process reliability, especially when used in applications with materials that tend to cake. The new FD function immediately detects whether the material in front of the sensor is in motion. Only when material is moving it is ensured that not the same material

Moisture monitoring with M-Sens 2 Compliance with optimal process conditions
Moisture monitoring with M-Sens 2
Compliance with optimal process conditions Application In the process of manufacturing corks, the cork wood is milled to undergo a series of compression and molding steps. In order to make an useful compaction, one of the most important factors is the cork moisture. If the moisture is outside the recommended range the mass will be poorly formed. With low material moisture the mass is easily undone and in case of high water content more clogs are caused in the process. Process data Customer: Cork caps producer Material: Cork Installation: Mixer Function: Moisture monitoring Solution The M-Sens 2 is a continuous moisture meter based on microwave technology. In the described application M-Sens 2 was used in the mixer to monitor the cork moisture during the mixing process. In case of changes of the moisture content the heat injection in the mixer is changed to ensure an ideal moisture during the mixture. With moisture control, fast action can be taken to prevent non-specified materials from

Moisture measurement to assure material quality Optimal adjustment of the drying process in pellet production with M-Sens 2
Moisture measurement to assure material quality
Optimal adjustment of the drying process in pellet production with M-Sens 2 Application A manufacturer of wood pellets processes raw materials such as planing chips or wood chips (wood waste) to produce wood pellets. After delivery of the wood waste, it is cleaned from extraneous material like metal and stones by a separator. Afterwards the material is crushed by a hammer mill and dried. The crushed material is then transported by a conveyor belt through a 90 °C convection oven. After leaving the oven a screw conveyor transports the wood chips to a storage silo. To assure the material quality, it is desirable for the moisture of the material to be measured during its transport to the storage silo. If the moisture is not correct, the drying process should be changed automatically. Process data Customer: manufacturer of wood pellets (Germany) Material: chipped wood Transport means: screw conveyor Installation location: screw conveyor after oven Moisture: 3 - 8 % Solution After the drying process the material‘s
