SONO-GS1 Woodchip Moisture Meter
In the world of industrial processing, accurate moisture measurement is critical. Whether you’re in wood processing, bioenergy production, agriculture, or other bulk material industries, ensuring the right moisture levels can significantly impact product quality and operational efficiency. Enter the SONO-GS1 Woodchip Moisture Meter, a cutting-edge solution designed to meet these needs with unparalleled precision and reliability.
Precision and Reliability for Your Bulk Material Needs
The SONO-GS1 Woodchip Moisture Meter is an in-line or process moisture probe featuring a large measurement field. It’s perfectly suited for moisture measurements of heterogeneous bulk goods with low-density materials such as wood chips, sawdust, granulates, pellets, pasta, and other similar substances with relatively larger grain sizes. This flexibility makes it an invaluable tool across a wide range of industries.
Versatile Installation for Seamless Integration
One of the standout features of the SONO-GS1 is its versatility in installation. Whether you need to place it in containers, dryers, process lines, conveyors, hoppers, or silos, this moisture meter can seamlessly integrate into your existing setup. For optimal performance, we recommend installation in screw conveyors where material density remains relatively constant.
Cutting-Edge TRIME® TDR Technology
At the heart of the SONO-GS1 is the patented TRIME® TDR technology. This advanced technology penetrates deep into large volumes of material, providing highly accurate and repeatable moisture measurement values. With over 20 years of expertise, Seztec’s moisture probes are designed to meet all your aggregate and fresh concrete measurement needs.
Our Woodchip Moisture Meter offers Flexible Interface Options to Fit Every Data Transfer Requirement
To meet diverse data transfer needs, the SONO-GS1 Woodchip Moisture Meter offers a range of standard industry outputs and communication protocols. Key parameters such as moisture content, conductivity, and temperature can be directly transferred into a PLC via two analogue outputs (0(4)…20 mA) or imported via an RS485 and IMP-Bus interface. Additionally, SONO probes can connect directly to a local PC (USB port) using the SM-USB module or the field display – SONO-VIEW. This feature allows you to adjust individual measuring parameters and perform calibrations with ease.
