® Moisture Meter Series" data-bg="f:contain;" class="rev-slidebg" data-no-retina> PMD® 2450
Precision Microwave Transmission Device
The PMD® 2450 utilizes microwave transmission by measuring attenuation and phase shift to analyze moisture content. Originally developed by the founder of InduTech and continuously improved, this is the 4th generation of this instrument, with noticeably increased accuracy up to 0,1%, especially when dealing with thin layers and measuring non-homogenous products.
Measuring parameters
Moisture content in solids | Powder and bulk materials, optional area weight compensation | Density of slurry and aqueoussolutions / brix | Concentration of aqueous solutions, optional: compensation of air bubbles | Carbon in flyash
Multi versatile application possibilities with appropriate sensors
■ Main belt
■ Bypass belt

PMD® 2500
Precision Microwave Transmission Device (patented)
PMD® 2500 is leading in Microwave Transmission Moisture Measurements. It is able to measure low layers down to 10 mm and high layers up to 5000 mm (dependent on the material) with highest reliability and accuracy. With different sensors the PMD® 2500 is used for a wide range of applications at conveyor belts, chutes, dryers, silos, pipes, etc.. to determine moisture, carbon in fly-ash, density, solid content, consistency, pulp, brix, salt content, etc., New sensors, especially designed for the extreme extended frequency range, enable more and more customized applications.

PMD® 2450
Precision Microwave Transmission Device
The PMD® 2450 covers the experience gained over 4 generations of the instruments, based on the microwave transmission and the phase method, which was developed by the founder of the company. The original method was remarkably improved by Indutech. This gains large advantages compared to earlier generations of the instrument, in a noticeably increased accuracy, especially for thin layers, inhomogeneous products and concentration measurements.

EU Research Project “DRAGON” (FP7) – 30 8389 in 2012
The new PMD® 2500 Precision Microwave Moisturemeter was developed within this EU Research Project. The aim was, to achieve resource efficiency by real time online analyzing the excavated material directly on the TBM Tunnel Boring Machine for separating useable minerals as resource. We developed within this Research Project the new PMD® 2500 to measure moisture at a bypass belt with a material layer of 20 mm only. The extremely high accuracy and long term stability of the PMD® 2500 guaranties high reliable moisture readings.
