The moisture measuring system IR 3000 consists of a non-contact working measuring head and a menu-driven interface for calibration and programming of the moisture measuring system.
The menu-driven interface is installed near to the measuring head and used as an external display near to the measuring position.
This allows reading of the measured moisture values at the sampling devices, for laboratory purposes.

With an Ethernet network or serial connection, measured values will be transferred from the menu-driven interface to a visualisation PC in the control room or to a process control system. Here, the central evaluation and display of all connected measuring systems will take place.

To achieve accurate measurement, a continuous flow of material is required. For operational areas, where a continuous material flow is not guaranteed, special sampling devices should be used. During this process, the material falls into an opening by the sampling device. Once measurement of a sample is complete, it is removed by compressed air so that the sampling device refills with material and the next measurement can take place.
