  Döscher & Döscher have appointed Sensing Technologies as distributors for Australia and New Zealand. Sensing Technologies have more than 30 years experience of distributing measuring systems in Australia. More information can be found at www.sensingtechnologies.com

• New developments
  Döscher & Döscher develops auxiliary module for the software of the measuring instruments
  
  The new software can indicate evaluations of up to four measurement systems on one screen for comparison.
  Advantages are:
  - only one monitor is used
  - improves comparability of the measured value
  - simple operation and own selection of the limit values for the moisture
  
  

• Trade Fair
  Doescher & Doescher presents their moisture measurement systems for the Pellet industry in Scandinavia. The "World Bioenergy and Pellett 2006" take place from 30 May - 01 June in Jönköbing/Sweden on the fairground. Find us in hall A, stand 01:29.

• Trade Fairs
  Doescher & Doescher presents their moisture and density measurement systems for customers from the food & beverage industry. The Anuga Food Tec take place from 03-07 April in Cologne at the fairground. Find us in hall 5.1, stand K008. We are pleased by your attendance!

• Patents
  Doescher & Doescher receives second european patent for the reference resonator sensor given on 16 march 2006. Together with Prof. Knoechel, chair of the high-frequency engineering institute of the Christian Albrecht University in Kiel, Doescher & Doescher developed this resonator for e.g. long term stability.
  
  The reference resonator already worked in practice in the moisture measuring instruments of Döscher & Döscher. With the invention it is possible to measure with very long-term stability, at measuring points with large variations in temperature or small product density (e.g. at the exit of a dryer). Apart from this long-term stability of the instruments a further large advantage over conventional moisture measuring instruments is that a regular setting of the zero point regulation is unnecessary.
  The patented sensor is used in the measuring system MoistureScan and its versions XT [for product temperatures to 140° C] and EX [for explosion-proof ranges]. You can see the patent here and for more information about the devices click under the menu option “products”.

• Patents
  Doescher & Doescher receives european patent for microwave stray field sensor given on 31 August
  Together with professor Knoechel, chair of the high-frequency engineering institute of the Christian Albrecht University in Kiel, Doescher & Doescher developed a new sensor. This sensor consists of only two materials. By this smaller number of materials used as opposed to conventional microwave sensors the patented sensor has more long-term-stability and exhibits an improved linear temperature behavior. The lack of adhesives is a particularly favourable feature ofthis type of sensor.
  The patented sensor is used in the measuring systems MoistureScan XT [for product temperatures to 140° C] and in the MoistureScan EX [for explosion-proof ranges].

  Doescher & Doescher acquires SODIM, one of the leading suppliers of measurement equipment for the tobacco-processing industry, as customer
  To increase stiffness the density of the tobacco rod is varied at the head and the junction of filter and tobacco during production of cigarettes. Doescher & Doescher developed a special measuring module which measures the full-length moisture and density profile of a cigarette non-destructivly. These modules are part of modular, automated measurement stations supplied by SODIM.
  

• Events
  Trade Fair TEA & COFFEE - Hamburg - 11.-13.09.2005
  Doescher & Doescher present their moisture and density measurement systems for customers from the coffee and tea industry. The TEA & COFFEE take place from 11-13 September in Hamburg at the fairground. Find us in hall 12, stand 322. We are pleased by your attendance!
  

• New Development
  Online support via Internet Now our customers have the possiblity of online support via Internet, beside a similar modem or ISDN/DSL-card. This service is possible also with VPN. Which kind of remote maintenance fits your company and your safety regulations, will naturally remain your decission.
  

• New Development
  The new development VenScan is suitable for the moisture measurement of band- and plate-shaped materials. VenScan can be integrated simply into the production line. The new system was used for the first time in a wood processing plant. VenScan was integrated into a machine, where it measures continuously the moisture of each individual massive wood plank. In case of exceeding or falling below the specified limits the planks are coloured coded and segregated directly after the measuring head. Thus quality standards can be held and savings made on complaint costs. For detailed information please contact us. Product information will be published shortly on our Website.

07.01.2005:

• New developments
  

  MoistureScan XT
  A new variation of MoistureScan now exists: MoistureScan XT, for product temperature up to 140 °C
  
  MoistureScan Ex
  Both types (C & II) are explosion proof. The MoisutreScan II is suitable for flush-mounting inside explosion zone 20 (dusty atmosphere). The product-lateral sensor surface may be established within zone 20 for highly combustible environments. The remaining components of the measuring instrument are not explosion-proof and suitable for zone 22 Sensorhead of MoistureScan C is completly suitable for zone 20.

  
  Reference resonator
  A new, patent-pending probe structure developed by Döscher & Döscher now allows to eliminate environmental influences such as temperature completely. For this new development, the well-known method of a reference measuring section was for the first time applied to microwave measurement technology. Maximal precision, reproducibility and long-term stability have thus become possible even under extreme temperature conditions.
