Product catalog summary
Introduction
Moisture measurement is critical in the grain industry to ensure product quality and optimize production costs. Berthold Technologies offers online moisture monitoring using microwave technology, which allows for real-time analysis and early intervention.
Moisture Measurement System
The MicroPolar system provides continuous, nonintrusive moisture measurement directly on the production line. It is unaffected by product color, viscosity, or inhomogeneity and covers the entire product stream. The system is easy to install and features a user-friendly interface.
Measuring Principle
Microwaves pass through the product, causing free water molecules to rotate, which results in phase shift and amplitude attenuation. This allows for accurate water content measurement. The multi-frequency technique ensures reliability and stability, with environmental compensation provided by an integrated reference signal.
Technology and Equipment
Horn antennas and microwave resonators are used for moisture measurement. Horn antennas are nonintrusive and measure the whole product stream, while the LB 571 microwave resonator is suitable for a wide range of bulk materials with a moisture range of 0-30%.
Customer Benefits
The system offers energy reduction in drying processes, increased yield, and online process control. It is free of wear and maintenance, easy to install, and provides real-time process information.
Installation Options
The system can be installed on slides, shafts, silos, chutes, or conveyors, making it versatile for various setups.
Company Overview
Berthold Technologies is known for its expertise in measurement technology, offering high-quality and reliable solutions. The company provides global support with a network of skilled engineers and technicians ready to assist with measurement tasks.

Moisture on cereal, grains & powders-2

ONLINE MOISTURE MEASUREMENT ON CEREAL, GRAINS & POWDERS For food products produced by the grain industries, moisture is a crucial issue throughout the manufacturing process. Too little or too much moisture at different stages of production can affect the quality of the final product and the optimisation of production costs. By using microwave technology, it is possible to monitor moisture online, allowing trend analysis and early intervention when necessary. The Berthold moisture systems can measure grain moisture when harvested, throughout processing, and before storage and sale. This significantly...
