The company ACO (Automation Components), Moisture Measuring Systems and Industrial Components introduces the new digital moisture measuring sensor type DMMS. NEW: Now available in mixer version with 10mm ceramic measuring surface and in version dust Ex_Zone 22 Sensor !

Integrated micro controller, average function, limit evaluation, material flow control, digital processing of actual values, sensor replacement without new calibration are standard!

This digital sensor is applicable for almost all bulk materials, granulates, powders, mixings and blending, pastes, concrete and aggregates of all kind of industries.

The water content (moisture) is measured in-situ (real time) and the process can now be controlled, monitored and recorded.

The sensors are now available with latest digital technology with interface RS 232, bus compatibility (profi-bus) and analog-output 4-20mA and 0-10VDC.

ACO-moisture measuring systems can be adapted to the customers’ unique requirements.

A wide power supply voltage of 9-30VDC guarantees a compatibility to all common power supplies and prevents influences of unstable power conditions.

The housing is from stainless steel with a diameter of only 76 mm and is universally applicable. The penetration (measuring depth) of the sensor into the material is approximately 120 to 140 mm (depending on the material) and measures the core and the surface moisture of the product.

The circuitry is completely encapsulated within a housing of stainless steel.

An integrated temperature sensor (RTD) is available.

Latest technologies like digital moisture measuring sensors, Eex-sensors, field bus operated sensors and interfaces like RS 485 are some further developments in the field of moisture sensors.

The application for all bulk products is straight forward and easily achieved. Uncountable applications throughout the world have proven this technology in the ACO moisture measuring sensor to be a reliable and high quality product under the most demanding conditions.

The company ACO (Automation Components), introduces the moisture measuring sensor type MMS. 

It is applicable for almost all bulk materials, granulates, powders, mixings and blending, pastes, concrete and aggregates of all kind of industries.

The water content (moisture) is measured in-situ (real time) and the process can now be controlled, monitored and recorded.

The sensor is fully configurable and submits - depending on the moisture - a signal output of 4-20mA or 0-10VDC. This signal can be hooked up directly to a PC, PLC, command circuitry or host systems for the process without additional software.

A wide power supply voltage of 9-30VDC guarantees a compatibility to all common power supplies and prevents influences of unstable power conditions.

The housing is from stainless steel with a diameter of only 76 mm and is universally applicable. The penetration (measuring depth) of the sensor into the material is approximately 120 to 140 mm (depending on the material) and measures the core and the surface moisture of the product.

Integrated calibration trimmers, self healing protection against wrong polarity, short circuit and over voltage create a very robust process device.

The circuitry is completely encapsulated within a housing of stainless steel. Your choice of sensing face; food grade crastin, ceramic, hard rubber or Teflon, - further adapts the sensor to your specific requirements.

An integrated wear out protection and temperature sensor (RTD) are available.

ACO AutomationComponents (Moisture Measuring Systems and Industrial Components) introduces the new moisture sensor ACO-Planarsensor in Eex-version.

It is applicable for almost all bulk materials, granulates, powders, mixings and blending, pastes, concrete and aggregates of all kind of industries even under harshest conditions.

The water content (moisture) is measured in-situ (real time) and the process can now be controlled, monitored and recorded.

It has been developped from competent experience of our clients for permanent application. It works with the principle of capacity determination in a high frequency field and can be integrated in any existing process with small installation efforts.

This moisture sensor has the Ex-permission for

• Ex-Zone 20/21(dust) for ATEX CE II 1/2D, T 80°C IP6x EEx ia II C and
• Ex-Zone 0/1(gas) for ATEX CE II 1/2G, EEx d [ia] II C T6

Parameter programmable via PC (WIN95/98/NT); integrated micro controller, average function, limit evaluation, material flow controlled, digital processing of actual values, sensor replacement without new calibration is standard!

This moisture sensor has a measuring depth of approx. 120 to 140 mm (depending on the material) and and measures the core and surface moisture of the product.

With a housing of stainless steel and a measuring surface of highly wear out resistant industrial ceramic the sensor stands even very abrasive materials.

The ACO Moisture Measuring Systems can be adapted to meet the customers’ requirements and convince by an optimum price/performance ratio.

A clever combination of approved measuring systems, long-term experience and close cooperation with clients, ACO developed a new sensor generation: AMMS.

With this new Analogue Moisture Measuring Sensor ACO offers a compact sensor suitable for nearly all bulk goods, granules, powders, mixtures, paste-like materials and substances from various industrial fields.

This most convincing high quality sensor is equipped with user-friendly calibration by calibration software. Multi calibration up to 10 calibration points is possible. Calibration directly in process is a big advantage. For easier handling calibration directly at the sensor is possible as well. The measuring range or average value can be adjusted conveniently directly at the sensor. The output of measuring value is made by analogue output signal 4…20mA.

All electronics are embedded as usual in robust durable stainless steel housing with highly resistant ceramic disc. Due to its identical dimensions the new AMMS sensor can be easily upgraded in any existing process.
