SYSTEM TROP-2RH

System for continuous measurement of sawdust moisture in drying chambers TROP-2RH

The system measures sawdust moisture content at the dryer outlet. It operates by measuring the air humidity in hygroscopic equilibrium with the sawdust. Air humidity depends on the sawdust moisture content. Knowing the air humidity and temperature, the equivalent moisture content of the sawdust (wood) can be determined. The system ensures accurate results provided the measuring chamber is isolated from the outside atmosphere.

The system allows for setting a setpoint for sawdust moisture. Exceeding this value activates a relay, which can be used to, for example, slow down or speed up the transport belt.

Optionally, the TROP-2RH meter can be equipped with an analog output (0 - 20 mA or 4 - 20 mA) for recording measurements in data acquisition systems.

The experience gained so far (a dozen or so such systems have been sold) after many months of operation of the TROP-2RH meters has confirmed their usefulness and reliability.
