Hydronix offers a range of digital microwave moisture sensors for use in the processing of bulk solids. The accuracy of Hydronix improves control throughout the process and can improve production, reduce operating & energy costs, and reduce environmental impact.
The Hydronix range is built of a number of specialist sensors for bulk handling industries, including; Food Safe, Explosive Atmospheres, and High Temperature options.
As Master Reseller for Hydronix, our expert team are on hand to help you specify the optimum set-up for measuring moisture in silos, hoppers, ducting, chain conveyors, screw conveyors, belt conveyors, mixers, amongst others.
Hydronix has been designed to provide an easy method for producers to precisely measure the moisture content of the material and make real-time adjustments to optimise the process in a wide range of industries. Here's just a small selection:
Moisture control is a key element when processing food from the raw intake of materials to packaging. It is essential that the moisture is monitored to achieve a repeatable and consistent final product still high in nutritional value.
Moisture sensors can measure moisture levels in materials being discharged from bins, on conveyor belts or within vibratory feeders.
These measurements are then used by the plant control system in real-time to accurately proportion materials during weighing and/or control water addition during processing.
Whilst processing cereal crops, nuts, and pulses, moisture measurement can take place in several stages, such as raw material intake, conditioning, drying, milling/grinding, and packaging.
Measuring the moisture allows the producer to optimise milling and grinding performance, reduce the amount of energy required to dry the material and ultimately improve the shelf-life and consistency of the final product.
When manufacturing pet food: dry, semi-moist or moist, it is vital to ensure that the final product is consistent, the process is repeatable, and the food still retains all of its nutritional value. By adding moisture control at various steps in the process such as drying, mixing and pelletising/extrusion, the manufacturer can ensure that the food and kibble are optimal for pets whilst improving the efficiency of the plant and reducing waste and energy.
Moisture measurement is a critical element when producing animal feed. It avoids weighing discrepancies or under/over-drying, enables the production of perfect pellets with the correct protein ratio and ensures long shelf-life without yield loss.
Measuring and controlling the moisture during the production of wood chips and wood by-products allows a producer to achieve a consistent and repeatable final product. This is particularly critical when producing wood pellets.
