HUMY 301

The HUMY 301 uses a capacitive measuring method that determines the entire water content of a material – and not just its surface. To do this, the sensor’s field lines penetrate up to 200 mm deep into the material. The measurement result has an accuracy of up to 0.1 % – depending on the bulk material and measurement situation.

Measures: Dust, Flow, Level, Moisture, Solids

Key Features & Benefits

  • Real-time monitoring of product moisture
  • No laboratory samples necessary
  • The maximum permissible water content of a product can be safely maintained; this increases quality and reduces costs
  • Saves energy by controlling the drying process
  • Very accurate measurement results (up to 0.1 % accuracy, depending on the material)
  • Measures the total water content, not just the surface
  • Robust design, suitable for extreme environmental conditions
  • Encapsulated sensor, protected against humidity and vibrations
  • Highest ATEX classification (dust: zone 20; gas: zone 0)
  • Simple installation and retrofitting, e.g. on conveyor belts, screw conveyors, pipes and chutes

Typical Applications

Many companies rely on laboratory testing, which:

  • Is time-consuming
  • Provides delayed results
  • Is based on random sampling
  • The HUMY 301 inline moisture measurement system offers a superior alternative
  • Provides real-time, continuous moisture measurement
  • Enables immediate response to moisture changes in the process

Measurement data can be used to:

  • Control dryers
  • Enable automatic humidification
  • Continuously monitor and optimise the process

 

Properties

The sensor of the HUMY 301 is very robust and can be used flexibly. Sensor surfaces made of POM, Teflon and ceramic are available to process abrasive or aggressive materials. A high temperature option and an ATEX option for Zone 20 or Zone 0 are available.

More info

The device is equipped with an analog output and an RS485 Modbus interface. Windows software is used for calibration and analysis. Up to 24 calibration data sets can be stored, sixteen of which can be selected directly via digital inputs.

The HUMY is optimized for reliability and a long service life. Each sensor is sealed and tested under extreme temperatures. A self-monitoring function continuously checks the functionality of the device. It is therefore not surprising that HUMYs are used in extreme environments, e.g. in vibration channels

New functions

  • Detailed analysis options through graphical user interface
  • User-friendly calibration and parameterization
  • Extended batch mode function
  • Additional digital inputs, e.g. for product switching, up to 16 products
  • Faster data acquisition thanks to new microprocessor
  • Long-term data storage for offline analysis and offline calibration
  • Simultaneous display of 8 measured values / measuring systems
