LFM₃ Moisture Analyzer

 Digital circuitry ensures effective operation in conditions where microwave attenuation is high

• Large dynamic range for measurement of high moisture content, thick beds or highly attenuating materials

• True continuous moisture measurement

• Rugged, light-weight,low-profile microwave antennae for easy installation

• High-performance, low-frequencymicrowave electronics provide exceptional accuracy in demanding climatic conditions

• Inexpensive field maintenance due to easily replaceable electronic modules

• Flexible and user-friendly interface for calibration, operation and diagnosis

• Direct output to plant with industry standard 4-20mA, MODbus serial and Ethernet interfaces

• Diagnostic analysis for control efficiency

• LFM₃ radio modem communications for remote system diagnostics and operation

• Very low microwave power emitted < 20 nano-watts makes the LFM EMC compliant in all countries

• The LFM₃ moisture analyzer is fitted with third party mobile or fixed phone modems to enable remote monitoring and upload of calibration settings
• Since phase shift and attenuation also depend on the amount of material present, a measurement of the mass loading on the belt is required to compensate or “normalize” the microwave measurements; A Thermo Scientific weigh scale is usually provided for this purpose
• A wider engineered solution that considers sampling and feeders can be offered to optimize the accuracy and calibration of the LFM₃
• Elemental analysis can be provided by the Thermo Scientific CB Omni, our cross-belt online analyzer

• Full digital signal processing capability enables very precise frequency emission and measurement.The very low power transmission of less than 20 nano-watts ensures EMC (electro magnetic compatibility) compliance in all countries
• LFM material analysis is inherently more accurate than surface measurement NIR (near infrared) and local measurement (microwave resonance)
• Remote monitoring and control is available via dial up interface
• Extremely robust phase analysis in highly attenuating environments or high precision applications
• Rugged, light-weight construction
• Continuous moisture measurement
