Product catalog summary
Overview: The DSE4111A is an inline moisture meter designed for biomass dehydration plants, utilizing microwave technology for accurate moisture measurement in various types of baled biomass such as straw, forage, energy grasses, and harvest residues.
Specifications: The system includes a microwave transmitter, receiver, and a control unit with a display. It operates at a frequency of 2.4 GHz and provides a measuring range of 7% to 39% relative moisture with an accuracy of +/- 1% up to 30% moisture. The sensor units measure 220 mm x 220 mm x 100 mm, and the control unit measures 500 mm x 500 mm x 220 mm.
Measuring Principle: The system uses two sensor units mounted on either side of a conveyor. As a bale passes, a microwave signal is transmitted through it. Water molecules oscillate when exposed to microwaves, causing signal attenuation, which is calculated into moisture percentage by the control unit.
Advantages: The DSE4111A offers high accuracy, non-contact measurements, and full automation. It can be integrated with local PCs or PLCs for continuous monitoring and process optimization.
Applications: Suitable for forage dehydration and pelletizing/briquetting plants.
Data Output: The control unit provides four 4-20 mA outputs for average and actual moisture readings. Outputs 3 and 4 are slave outputs of 1 and 2. The system allows for configurable bale dimensions and customer-specific setups.
Technical Data: The sensors operate in ambient temperatures from -15 to +40˚C, while the control unit operates from 0 to +40˚C. The system is CE compliant with specific standards for emission and immunity.
Order Options: Options include dual sensor versions, digital inputs for various bale parameters, additional cable lengths, and network interfaces. An EX protection version is available for sensors.
About DSE Test Solutions: DSE Test Solutions is a Danish company specializing in high-tech test and measurement solutions, particularly known for its precision moisture meters in the bio-energy sector.

DSE4111A Inline moisture control DSE4111A is a microwave based moisture meter designed for industrial application on conveyors and biomass processing lines. DSE4111A provides continuous monitoring of moisture content in all types of baled biomass: • Straw • Energy grasses (Miscanthus) • Harvest residues (corn, sugar cane) Measuring principle DSE4111A consists of two sensor units for mounting on each side of the conveyor. As a bale passes by the sensors, a microwave signal is transmitted through the bale. When exposed to microwaves, the water molecules in the material start to oscillate, causing...
