Sand Moisture Measurement BTS-3000

Product catalog summary

Overview
The BTS-3000 Moisture Meter is designed for continuous moisture measurement in sand and aggregates, crucial for improving concrete quality by ensuring precise sand/water correction during production.

Specifications
- Application: Measures sand and aggregates with grain sizes up to 8 mm.
- Operating Temperature: +1 to +50 °C.
- Signal Output: 0-10 V DC, 0(4)-20 mA, RS232, RS485.
- Power Supply: 230 V AC / 50/60 Hz, 115V AC / 60 Hz.

Functionality
The BTS-3000 processes sensor signals to determine moisture content directly in the flow of bulk material, ensuring sensor cleaning. It supports up to 4 sensors and integrates with any PLC or control system.

Features

MEASURING • CONTROLLING • OPTIMISING Moisture Meter For Continuous Moisture Measurement Nowadays, the concrete quality is of vital importance for the industrial production process. In order to meet the increasing quality demands, it is essential to control and regulate the moisture content. The moisture meter BTS-3000 determines the moisture content in sand and aggregates fast and exactly. It forms thus the foundation for a correct dosing of Moisture Meter

MEASURING • CONTROLLING - OPTIMISING Belt Sensor Conductivity Pipe Sensor Improvement of the Concrete Quality The main advantage of a moisture measurement is the substantial improvement of the concrete quality. By measuring continuously during the complete batching procedure, the moisture values are detec- ted and the whole production process is perma- nently controlled. This ensures an exact sand / water The BTS-3000 measures all types of sand and aggregates with grain sizes up to 8 mm. Displaying and Analysing Device The BTS-3000 receives and processes the signals of the sensor and converts...

User-friendly Handling The BTS-3000 has been constructed particularly user-friendly. The menu-driven handling is effected through a clear touch display. The controlled averaging starts as soon as a sig- nal is available on the digital input and it lasts over the whole duration of the signal. The continuous averaging can be activated for an adjustable time of 1-30 seconds. The average is then shown on the display and continuously output. Graphical Display of the Moisture Course The moisture course is graphically displayed for every connected sensor. The sample rate 0.1-240 sec can be individually...
