The measuring system is installed in the product flow and continuously measures the water content of the product. Microwaves are used for the measurement. The method measures without heating and independent of density in fractions of a second.
The VenScan measuring system is particularly suitable for web-shaped and flat materials. It can be flexibly integrated into the production process of such materials, where it continuously measures the water content of the product. There is a gap between the two halves of the measuring head in which a stationary electromagnetic field is generated as a homogeneous measuring field. Microwaves are used for the measurement. The method measures without heating and independent of density in fractions of a second. Another advantage of VenScan is that the device also measures moisture independently of the thickness of the material.
