ONLINE MOISTURE MEASUREMENT ON BULK MATERIAL

The moisture online analyser LB 350 is primarily used for applications which can’t be solved with conventional sensor technologies due to conductivity or particular chemical properties of the material to be measured.
The LB 350 moisture measurement system is for real-time determination of the moisture content of a wide variety of bulk materials such as coke, sinter mixture, ore, sand, building materials, and is used on many different types of vessels.

Technological Highlights

System description

Neutron moisture measurement is a proven technology with a long track record of success for moisture measurement on bulk materials; it functions where most other moisture measurement technologies fail for various reasons. The measuring a volume with diameter of up to one meter ensures a representative measured value. Once the system has been installed and calibrated, it can be left alone for several years providing reliable moisture monitoring of bulk products.
