System for measuring the moisture content in continuous or discontinuous processes

Abstract

Abstract A system in the bypass branch of the process is very strongly recommended for measuring the moisture content of bulk goods or other solids (2) in a continuous or discontinuous process by means of a moisture sensor (8). The system consists essentially of a collection channel (3) mounted on a measuring cylinder (6). The test material (2) is homogeneously distributed and fed past the moisture sensor (8) by means of two eccentrically driven conveyor forks (4) in the collection channel (3) and a displaceable piston (7) in the measuring cylinder (6). A closure lid (12) at the conical end of the measuring cylinder (6) produces a further homogenisation of the test material (2). <IMAGE>
