The Low Frequency Microwave (LFM) Moisture Analyser provides continuous, accurate measurement of moisture in the most demanding bulk materials handling applications.

The LFM Moisture Analyser was developed for continuous, on-conveyor applications ranging from conventional materials to highly attenuating materials such as iron ore, mineral concentrates and high moisture coals.

It has been used extensively by mine and port operators to achieve:

Accurate rheology control through on-line measurement of ore moisture contents. This allows for precise addition of water from mine to port, assisting operators to control dust extinction while keeping moisture below maximum shipping limits

• Improved stock control and resource extension via enhanced knowledge of blend ratios
• Control of critical moisture levels in pelletising and sintering applications
• Specification monitoring for thermal efficiencies in steaming coal applications
• Control of filter presses and centrifuges in dewatering applications

Potential applications outside of the mining industry are significant and include moisture monitoring in:

• Wood chips and particle board manufacture
• Industrial powders
• Bulk grain
• Food industry
• Bagasse used for fuel
