NDC has announced the addition of the CM710 moisture gauge to its 710 series of on-line analysers.
The CM710 has been developed to provide reliable performance in the harsher industrial operating environments found in the minerals, ceramics, ore processing, chemical, sinter and similar processes.
The CM710 is mounted 250mm above the product on the conveyor belt and able to measure over fluctuating product heights and even discontinuous product flows using an optional high-speed gating system.
With a range of available housings with sealing ratings up to IP67 for full hose-down areas, as well as Atex-certified options up to Zone 20 dust-hazard, the CM710 is designed to operate in ambient temperatures up to 50C, or hotter with an optional cooling attachment.
With rising fossil-fuel prices, industry expends huge resources in drying powdered and mineral products down to target moistures.
Introducing closed-loop control based on the stable drift-free output of the CM710 enables users to introduce energy savings while maintaining uniform product quality and eliminating the need for routine grab-sampling for off-line testing.
