Non destructive testing for coffee moisture
Tews Elektronik, represented in the UK by Accumen Technology, offer a range of microwave based instruments to accurately measure moisture at all stages of the coffee manufacturing process.
A further application of the MW 1000 is the fast measurement of building material and floor pavement.
The MW1000 uses the patented microwave moisture technique of TEWS Elektronik and is delivered in a robust case with a PC-cable and battery chargers.
The instrument has been designed using a light(1.2Kg) but compact housing with an integrated handle for the user and is completely portable with a standby time of 5 hours and includes a auto power off function.
The user Simply place the sensor on the material and after a short measuring time of 3 seconds an accurate moisture value independent of density and colour is displayed on a clear 2 line display.
The MW1000 has a measuring range of 0% to 35% dependant on material with a repeatability 0.5% (standard deviation at 10 measurements) and it is not necessary to grind the material before taking the measurement.
Once the measurement is made all values are stored with a time stamp inside the moisture meter, 200 values can be stored within the meter and it is possible to transmit the data to a PC via RS-232 with the provided cable.
The MW1000 is completely configurable by the display menu, this allows the user to configure, set up and store moisture settings and values via the function keys.
The MW1000 allows the user to configure 9 different moisture settings within the instrument. Request a free brochure from Isatec ...
