The DRYCOM moisture analyzer and control system is a popular and well-proven method of controlling moisture.
Key to the success of DRYCOM is the built in flexibility that allows the system to be integrated into a wide range of applications.
DRYCOM moisture analyzer and meter systems are precision instruments that use a unique adaptation of the conductivity principle. They are designed to operate in hostile industrial environments and provide our customers with:
- Immediate, continuous and accurate moisture measurement
- Up to three independent moisture sensors per Moisture Meter
- Measurement to 0% Moisture Content - made possible by advanced sensor design, input electronics and measurement algorithms
- Sensors measure the entire thickness of the product - not just the surface
- Readings that are not affected by surface presentation, colour, temperature, normal variations in thickness or density of the product under test
- Readings that take into account the moisture profile in the product
- Measurement from 0% to approximately 2x the equilibrium moisture for the product under test
- Storage of multiple 'recipes' enabling accurate measurement (and control) of different products, blends etc
DRYCOM vs the Rest
The DRYCOM Moisture Analyzer and Meter has many benefits over the normal conductivity meters.
Our system is a precision instrument that will provide you with accuracies of better than +/-0.5% for a uniformly dried sample.
Other have a very limited range and poor accuracy, they are generally used as "indicators" rather than meters (ie they will indicate if a product lies in one of three bands; too wet; too dry; somewhere in the middle).

Accuracy
|
±0.5% or better for uniformly dried samples.
|
A general indication of moisture.
|
Measurement Range
|
From 0% to approx 2x equilibrium moisture for natural fibres and often an even greater range than this for man made fibres.
|
Limited to approximately 60% of equilibrium moisture to less than twice equilibrium moisture.
|
Accuracy Over the Range
|
Good accuracy over full measurement range.
|
Accuracy drops off significantly the further away from equilibrium moisture you move.
|
Calibrations
|
Multiple calibrations stored in memory for different products.
|
No storage of calibrations.
|
Calibration Selection
|
Calibrations easily selected and identified by user defined labels.
|
Sometimes calibrations can be selected by changing switch settings.
|
Outputs and Recording/Logging
|
4 to 20mA industrial standard output to allow recording/logging of moisture information.
|
Nothing.
|
Reporting/Printing and Further Analysis
|
Automatic collection of data for reporting, printing and further analysis.
|
Nothing.
