Capacitive Moisture Meter for Continuous Measurement of Moisture of Powder for Tiles.

A measurement process and measuring equipment have been developed which satisfy the technological requirements (accuracy, reproducibility, continuous measurement and recording), do not require a great quantity of materials to be measured, resist dust and vibration, give signals suitable for process control and do not contain imported components. The equipment - which is already in operation in fine ceramics plants, glass and cement factories, and in agricultural crop dryers - consists of a measuring probe, a signal processing unit, and a digital/analog display. It operates with a measuring accuracy of plus or minus 0. 2% (i. e. , 1-5 rel. error) in the moisture interval of 0-20%.
