HUMY 3000

Name: HUMY 3000
Brand: MUTEC
Availability: InStock

The HUMY 3000 is successfully used for moisture measurement in many processes, including for granules, pellets, chips, powders, dusts, and much more. Conveyor belts, screw conveyors, silos, hoppers, etc. are particularly suitable installation locations. In-line moisture measurement is also possible in batch processes.

The fast measuring process with a high resolution allows a quick and easy calibration and accuracy of up to 0.1%. In addition to an automatic temperature compensation and ageing drift, the self-monitoring device also has an integrated data logger, digital output and alarm outputs, and much more. For product- or process changes, different parameters can be stored for up to 24 products or product groups.

Function

The HUMY 3000 is a capacitive measuring system. This offers numerous advantages, e.g. compared to NIR sensors (sensitive to ambient light and contamination) and microwave sensors (limited at high humidity). The basic principle of the measurement is simple: The sensor of the HUMY 3000 generates an electromagnetic field. During the measurement, the relative permittivity and the high-frequency recession of the solid is measured in the high-frequency range. Since the permittivity of water and most bulk solids are very different, the water content of a material can be indirectly deduced from this.

The HUMY 3000 takes readings of its sensor in real time. The result represents the total water content of a material – not only of the surface, as the sensor penetrates material up to 200 mm deep. For best results, the measurement should happen in contact with the material and while it is flowing and passing the sensor.

The measurement has an accuracy of up to 0,1 % depending on the bulk material. It is not impacted by changes of electrical conductivity, pH value, surface structure, color, steam, dust or by foreign light. The density, height and velocity of the material should be kept constant. Multiple calibrations can be taken and saved for different materials or material characteristics.
