SONO-GS1 Woodchips Moisture Sensor for Accurate Measurement

SONO-GS1 Woodchips Moisture Sensor is an in-line or process moisture probe with a large measurement field. This innovative sensor is perfect for moisture measurements of heterogeneous bulk goods with low-density materials such as wood chips, sawdust, granulates, pellets, pasta, and other similar materials with relatively larger grain sizes.

Designed for installation in containers, dryers, process lines, conveyors, hoppers, and silos, the SONO-GS1 excels in environments like screw conveyors where material density remains constant.
