Moisture monitoring for process automation

Water injection automation in coffee production

The food industry is in constant revolution when the subject is measurement. Controlling exact amounts of condiments, spices and all sort of ingredients is direct related to important quality factors like consistency, flavour and due period.
Coffee is a daily drink for a lot of people, it means people can notice quickly small changes in the flavour. During the manufacturing process coffee should be roasted in specific temperature ranges and it is directly connected to the moisture content. One of our customers asked for a measurement system to monitor moisture after the final roaster.
In that part of the process it is essential to keep characteristics good enough to conveying till the packing sector and deliver with the taste that everyone appreciates.


Process data
Customer: Coffee producer
Product: Coffee grains
Moisture range: 3,5 - 5 %
Installation: Slide after final roaster
Function: Control water injection into the roaster


Solution

The M-Sens 2 measures continuously up to 65 % of moisture content in materials conveyed on different devices as screw feeders, conveyor belts, slides and more.
In the described application measuring the moisture makes possible to determine when and how much of water should be injected into the final coffee roaster.
After the automatic control the manufacture process became more reliable, thanks to online measurement which makes sure that as soon the moisture content changes the new set point for the water injection lines is sent.


Customer benefits

  • Online control of the water injection
  • Avoidance of missing moisture changes
  • Measurement through the beans

Calculation of wheat requirements with flow measurement
Mass flow measurement with SolidFlow 2.0 In a food production company in Hongkong, different types of baked goods like bread or biscuits are produced. In the plant, wheat is transported from a main silo to smaller production containers for further processing. The material is transported to the rotary valve by means of a pneumatic conveying line (DN 100) into the container. The objective of our customer was to obtain detailed information about the material flow in the conveying pipe between the main wheat silo and the smaller production container. Process data: Customer: Food producer (Hongkong) Material: Wheat Quantity: 5 t/h Installation: Pneumatic conveying line after rotary valve Function: Measurement of actual wheat consumption Solution: For monitoring and measuring the actual wheat consumption two SolidFlow 2.0 sensors have been installed. The SolidFlow 2.0 continuously measures solid quantities up to 20 t/h in free fall or in pneumatics. In this application, the sensors are installed

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

Velocity measurement for careful material transport SpeedFlow 2.0-Pipe
Velocity measurement for careful material transport
SpeedFlow 2.0-Pipe Application For the production of hygiene products, the required fibre material has to cover long conveying distances. Too fast conveyor speeds cause a high loss of material, because the fibre material turns into dust. This dust development results in less yield at the end of the process as well as damaging the filter systems. Due to this problem, the manufacturer searched for a velocity measurement without material contact to ensure that the specified conveying speeds were not exceeded and to guarantee the required careful material transport. Process data Customer: Manufacturer of hygiene products (Germany) Material: Fibre material Installation: Conveyor pipe (DN 350) Function: Measurement of material speed for careful transportation The solution The SpeedFlow 2.0-Pipe sensor is designed for continuous velocity measurement of solids such as granules, powders and dust in pipes. The sensor is manufactured according to the

Compliance with permitted dust values Continuous dust concentration measurement
Compliance with permitted dust values
Continuous dust concentration measurement A food manufacturer refines dairy products. The dust-laden exhaust air created during the manufacturing process is extracted by suction and cleaned by industrial filter systems. With increasing abrasion of the filter elements, the dust content in the exhaust air may rise and lead to increased environmental pollution. The continuous dust measurement (mg/m³) is also regulated for this process. This official regulation is fulfilled by the plant operator with the installation of a calibrateable, electrodynamic measuring device. Process data Customer: Food manufacturer (Germany) Product: Dairy product powder Permitted limit: 20 mg/m³ Installation location: Clean gas side after a dust cyclone Function: Continuous dust measurement The solution The ProSens system can be calibrated and continuously monitors clean gas sides after filter elements for permissible dust concentrations. The calibration With the Dosed-Reference-Method developed

Blockage detection by ProGap S Transportation of minerals
Blockage detection by ProGap S
Transportation of minerals Application In the extraction or processing of natural stones those stones (basalt and lava) in different sizes are transported to a first screening by a conveyor belt. In some cases the screen may occasionally become blocked. As soon as the screen is clogged, the stones jam in the feed chute. If this blockage reaches the previous belt, it might be damaged. The common consequences: costly and time-consuming production downtimes. Process data Costumer: Mineral company Material: Stones (basalt and lava) Installation: Feeding chute behind conveyor belt Function: Protection of conveyor belt Solution The ProGap S with filling-signal-suppresion is a universal and flexible sensor for level detection, based on proven microwave technology. In this application the ProGap S is used to detect the dumming of the stones in the discharge chute after the conveyor belt. Upon reaching a critical level monitored by the ProGap S, the transportation
