In order to be able to guarantee the highest possible quality in a mixture of different materials, balancing the amounts and the residual moisture of each of the substances is an important measurement task in the construction materials industry. This ranges from the degree of dryness of sand to the calorific value of secondary fuels as well as the precise dosage of iron II sulphate as a chemical reducing agent.
Further fields of application include detecting and monitoring the amounts of coal dust or wood dust going to the burner, as well as other pulverised or granulated substances in free-fall or pneumatic delivery lines.
