DRYER MASTER Moisture Sensors dryermaster.com Real Time Moisture Sensors Dryer Master capacitance based moisture sensors have been providing industrial processes with reliable and accurate moisture measurement for over 30 years. APPLICATIONS The numerous applications suitable for Dryer Master's moisture measurement technology include: • Whole grains, • Paddy and processed rice, • Coffee beans (raw, roasted, or processed), • Meals (such as cornmeal, soymeal, distillers' grain and flour), and • Manufactured pellets (including pet food, animal feeds, fish feed, and wood pellets). BENEFITS • Continuous and accurate real time moisture readings for process monitoring and control. • Complete product moisture measurement, not just a measurement of surface moisture. • Rugged stainless steel construction that is food grade. • Low maintenance and straightforward installation. • Cost effective and affordable, especially when compared to alternatives. • Can be installed in either an in-process or a bypass type configuration. IMPLEMENTATION Dryer Master moisture sensors can be purchased individually and then connected to a PLC for signal conversion. They can also be purchased as part of a complete solution for moisture monitoring (M2/GM2), state logic control (AM3) or model based drying control (DM510)

Moisture Sensors dryermaster.com Dryer Master “fin type” moisture sensors are capacitance The successful integration of on-line measurement into a devices that respond to the total bulk moisture within your process control strategy depends on two characteristics: accuracy and reproducibility. Both of these characteristics The moisture sensor transmits energy from the “fin” to the are greatly influenced by sensor calibration. ground plane, typically the installation chute or containment Operators or QA staff maintain calibration with routine vessel. As energy is absorbed by “free” water...
