Biomass moisture meters

Biomass heating systems only fully exploit their potential efficiency if the water content of the combustible material does not exceed certain values. These values differ depending on the type of heating material. The risk of rotting during storage also varies based on the material. This is why it is particularly important to measure the water content of combustible materials not only precisely, but also in a specific way according to the material. MERLIN therefore offers specific moisture meters with different measuring methods for: wood chips, raw wood and logs, calibration function for special products.
Then are used: fillable measuring devices, measuring devices with a penetrating lance or moisture meters with a ram electrode.

 MERLIN offers three different precision devices for the exact and reliable moisture measurement of raw wood, woodchips, rinds, pellets, miscanthus, plane shavings and sawdust:
  • EVO-BIO
  • EVO-CHIPS
  • MOISTEC-BIO

All three meters are available in a standard version or optionally with a PC interface, a USB adapter and their own evaluation software.

EVO-BIO

The biomass meter EVO BIO is suitable for a quick and accurate determination of water content of wood chips and offers numerous functions:

  • Fast and precise measurement
  • Suitable for wood chips
  • Calibration function for special products
  • Programmed characteristic curves
  • Automatic temperature compensation
  • Measured data storage for 10,000 values + measuring location description
  • Memorization of the supplier
  • Optional: PC interface for data evaluation

For suppliers and operators of heating plants using biomass.

EVO-CHIPS

The water content of wood chips can be determined using handy devices with a penetrating lance. These are characterized by their uncomplicated, mobile use.

  • Results in seconds without sample preparation
  • Automatic temperature compensation
  • Measured data storage for 10,000 values + measuring location description
  • Measurement up to 100 % wood moisture
  • Temperature -10 – +80° C
  • Optional: PC interface for data evaluation

With insertion probe for determination of the water content of wood chips

Devices with a ram electrode can also be used for the measurement of raw wood and logs:

  • High measuring depth
  • High measuring range (up to 60 % water content)
  • Measured data storage for 10,000 values + measuring location description
  • Optional: PC interface for data evaluation
