Microwave Density Measuring System State zero Adjust Density & Moisture MW-DET MW-GEM 100% control High-speed microwave measuring system MW3011 is the latest innovation by TEWS Elektronikfor parallel moisture and density measurement in rapidly mo- ving products - for instance, cigarette rods during manufacture. 10,000 rea- dings produced via an analog interface can be taken every second. Applications MW 3011 is used in the tobacco industry for online measurements of moisture and density in the production of cigarettes and cigar rods. Due to its high spa- tial resolution as well as many other factors, the system can perform an exact control of the cutting position or detection of foreign particles in the product.

The measuring of the filter raw material triacetin can also be controlled during fiber production for the tobacco industry. Online measurements in quickly moving threads, yarns, weight measurements of tablets or gelatine capsules at a measuring speed of 50 capsules per second using this instrument have also already been performed successfully. This allows 100% quality control of the measured material. TECHNICAL DATA: Accuracy (moisture) Accuracy (mass) Microwave output Data outputs 10,000 readings per second For example, assuming a production speed of 12,000 cigarettes per minute, equaling 200...
