Bulk material moisture meter TRIME GWs

for solidsfor grainhigh-frequency

Product overview
Measuring transducer for moisture monitoring in continuous material flows and in hard-to-access locations such as tower dryers. Provides volumetric moisture measurement in heterogeneous bulk materials using TRIME technology. Intended for grain and feed processing.

Applications

• Grain & feed
• Continuous material flow measurement
• Tower and inline dryers

Technical data

• Temperature range: 0°C ... +70°C (electronics); measuring head: 0°C ... +120°C (briefly to 150°C)
• Power supply: +12V to +24V DC, approx. 3 W
• Signal outputs: 2 × analogue 0(4)...20 mA — Output 1: humidity (%); Output 2: temperature (or conductivity / standard deviation)
• Interfaces: RS485 or IMP bus
• Sensor dimensions: 175 × 80 × 58 mm (L×W×H); probe Ø70 × 235 mm
• Weight: 1.3 kg
• Ingress protection: IP65
• Special condition: measuring head can be briefly exposed to 150°C

Variants

• Round sensor GRr, with stainless-steel cap on temperature sensor
• Construction variant: Keilsonde WS2

Installation

• At dryer inlet
• Directly in dryer before and during drying
• In dryer outlet (discharge hopper or discharge conveyor)
• For grain transport, e.g. in hoppers

Accessories (selected)

• SONO-View: Stand-alone display and configuration unit for process control; supports up to 4 SONO probes via serial interface
• SM-USB: USB to RS485/IMP bus converter for PC connection; used for calibration, test measurements and data logging
• Cables: SONO sensor cable (4 m, 10 m, 25 m), 6 twisted pairs, shielded, 10-pin MIL connector; fixed gland variants IP67
• Blind cap: Plastic Hibro, M70x2
• Lock nut: Aluminium, M70
• Flange: GR aluminium mounting flange 120 × 120 mm

Technical specifications

• Measurement principle: TRIME — volumetric penetration of approx. 2 dm³
• Measuring range: up to 70% moisture; resolution in dry range down to 0.05%
• Sensor material: temperature-stable PEEK for measuring head
• Suitable for heterogeneous bulk solids; measurement independent of grain type, product temperature and ionic conductivity
• Designed for continuous operation and PLC integration
