Transmission Measuring Instrument MW-T

Non-contact Measuring through
Bales and Boxes

Core moisture is of particular interest in the case of large boxes and bales. The
microwave transmission instrument MW-T allows non-contact measuring of
core moisture irrespective of product density.
Transmission
technique

MW-T has connectors for two antennas which mount on either side of the product to be measured. The sending antenna will emit microwaves to go through
the product and be picked up by the receiving antenna. The electronic control
instrument of MW-T analyzes the signal received and uses it to calculate the
moisture and density of the product under analysis. The transmission technique was patented by TEWS Elektronik.

High measuring
throughput

Working at high speed, the system takes approx. 30 readings per second which
allows for the measuring of moisture and density profiles. Such profiles are
useful in two ways: they allow operators to determine a mean moisture and
density, and they allow the automatic detection of both foreign particles and
places where moisture accumulates.
