Is your plastic sufficiently dried?
The Bry-Air Prokon Moisture Minder™ is an advanced, high-precision, In-Line humidity sensor.
Efficiency and precision in drying plastic materials are paramount for a excellent product quality.
Moisture Minder™ sensors are available in two types, M5 and M100. (Check Downloads)
BryScan™ is a patented Swiss technology from Bry-Air PROKON.
This technology provides real-time moisture measurement in the production line (during production), ensuring the quality of each polymer type.
It determines the core moisture content independently of the density, color and surface texture of the measured material.
The Moisture Minder™ continuously measures and displays the moisture content in percent or PPM (parts per million) in the process as a trend graph. This enables continuous process monitoring and deviations from the set value are immediately visible.
It is designed for all types of plastic pellets, flakes or regrind, including PET, Nylon, ABS and more.
Suitable for plastic granules with wide temperature range from 20°C to 200°C and material throughput from 10 to 2500 kg/h.
It is a powerful instrument used in industries such as food, grain milling, extrusion, injection molding, building materials, chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
The measurement technique is based on the relatively high dielectric permittivity of water (80-30) compared to the dielectric properties of polymers (2-5). It also includes the measurement of the diamagnetic properties of water. The variation of the water content in the product would result in a large variation in the combined dielectric constant, which would then be measured by monitoring the changes in the dielectric signal.
Online, real-time moisture analysis is displayed on a touchscreen control.
This control can display data for up to eight sensors.
In addition, this production process information can also be controlled remotely by a PC, tablet or smartphone.
Moisture Minder™ can collect dynamic information about the production process, activate an alert, optimize production allocation, achieve advanced production and track the production process of products.
It includes control systems that can divert or recirculate material that does not fall within specified dryness specifications.
It is not only an analysis tool, but also a way to obtain data and statistics and impose a quality standard on your production.
Ease of use has been achieved by paying great attention to the physical and logical ergonomics of the navigation menu, customer support, settings, calibrations, schedules and alarms.
The proprietary code (PRO-soft) monitors and controls all aspects of BryScan™ function, including automatic internal calibration, mathematical calculations, diagnostics and communications.
In larger sensor installations where multiple measurement points are required, it is usually advantageous to use a multi-channel control cabinet. These units offer economic advantages and allow easy installation for a growing plant.
The rugged stainless steel housing is designed to meet the most demanding industry requirements and needs.
This moisture sensor is built with quality components to the highest standards and specifications.
It has a long service life and delivers accurate results.
Due to its compact design, the Moisture Minder™ can be easily installed (retrofitted) at various locations on the production line, under virtually any drying hopper, silo or at the entrance to an injection molding machine.
