Moisture measurement has always been an important process parameter. However, traditionally this has been carried out using the conventional laboratory analysis of a manual sample. Not only is this an expensive and time consuming process, but the time taken to provide the result means that the information is only of historical value. During the time interval between taking the sample and reporting the result, operational conditions may have changed so that the reported result is no longer valid to the changed conditions.

Procon's ultraMOIST On-Belt Moisture Measurement System now allows the accurate measurement of moisture in realtime. This availability of moisture information allows proactive process control actions to be taken. The information can be used in a number of ways including:

	metallurgical/process accounting
	diverting excessively moist material away from vulnerable downstream processes
	feedback control to a dryer circuit
	feed forward/back control to spray bars for dust control
	product nett weight monitoring for quality control purposes
	product moisture/dry mass contract compliance

The ultraMOIST technology has significant advantages over near infra red technology and is suitable for all non-conducting materials such as:
coal - grain - silica - wood -flakes - chemicals - sugar - wool - bauxite - mineral ores - food - sand - aggregates -cotton

The microwaves penetrate the full depth of the bed and results are unaffected by dust, steam etc. There are no moving parts thereby ensuring long term reliability.
