Technical Features

The sensor operates on the principle of an open plate capacitor. The moisture contained in a material can be measured in terms of that material’s dielectric constants.
Moisture content can be determined in a matter of seconds – in wood chips or wood pellets, and sawdust, in grain and cereals, and other granulated materials.
The characteristics of the materials to be measured can be specified on a highly customized basis; a wide variety of granulates, e.g. various cereal types, can thus be measured
