The measuring system consists of an open probe, cabinet and terminal. The product to be measured is fed in a non-contacting manner through the gap of the probe.
Every product passing through the electromagnetic field changes the characteristic of the field which is then analysed. Unlike conventional methods with transmitter and antenna with this new concept, consisting of a combination of transmission and resonance methods, the measuring signal continuously penetrates the product. A very intense coupling between field and water molecules in the product arises, which leads to a very high sensitivity and measurement accuracy of the water content . The measurement method works without heating the product and is independent from density as well as thickness of the product. The characteristics of the method are contactless measurement, low calibration expenditure, high measurement accuracy and excellent long-term stability.

Advantages

• non-contacting
• exact measurement due to high water selectivity
• independent of density, weight and thickness
• solid wood up to a thickness of 50 mm
