According to the client, the M-Sens system offers the following advantages over the formerly used methods:

• Continuous humidity measurement
• Simple commissioning (even by customer)
• More cost-effective than optical measuring procedures

Client benefits:

• Quality control of the incineration process, the lower the material humidity, the better the heating value of the wood chips
• Customer can determine from the humidity what quantity of wood chops need to be fed into the oven
• Quality control in the manufacturing process
