FT-11C On-Line Moisture Sensor

Reg. U.S. Pat. Off. No. 6,192,750 B1

Overview:

  • Accurately monitors moisture content of flowing whole grain or other particulate materials
  • Reliable, rugged, economical choice for moisture monitoring applications
  • Easily integrated into process control systems

Product Specifications

FT Series sensors combine proven capacitive moisture sensing technology with a patented flow-through sample cell design to provide unmatched accuracy.

Moisture and temperature output may be displayed on our Moisture Display System (MDS) and/or transmitted as an analog signal for integration into a process control system.
