The recycled paper is scanned by a high-frequency electric field whose characteristics change

according to the moisture content. Due to the distinctive polarity of the water molecule and the resultant high dielectric coefficient of water, the capacity

of the measuring field changes depending on the moisture in the measured sample. Designed for the paper recycling industry, the device

is easy to use: measurement is ƋƵŝĐŬ ĂŶĚ ŶŽŶͲĚĞƐƚƌƵĐƟǀĞ͘ dŚĞ user holds the moisture tester with one hand and applies it with pressure to the paper bale to ensure the whole sensor area rests on the surface, then ĐĂůŝďƌĂƟŽŶ ŝƐ ƐĞůĞĐƚĞĚ ƚŚĂƚ corresponds to the type of paper or cardboard measured. Moisture content and temperature are displayed immediately. The user can log each measurement automatically while the meter calculates the average of the saved measurements.

and TotalPlant Alcont UPLINE/ IOLINE highway interface, native peer-to-peer connectivity with Experion MX and the Experion PKS controller family through parameter connection and a single point of data entry. “With Experion PMD the result is better quality, more efficient production, and reduced maintenance and project lead times,” said Brad Garnett, business director, Pulp, Paper & Continuous Web Solutions at Honeywell Process Solutions. “The updates in Release 800 make it a truly all-encompassing automation solution for pulp and paper manufacturers, as well as others in the chemicals, metals,

pharmaceuticals and food and beverage industries.” PMD controllers can be used on all control levels for implementing advanced controls, fast machine controls and process controls. A single, consistent set of engineering tools across these levels means lower capital costs and enables cost effective execution of production line and plant- wide control. Benefits include reduced database maintenance, easier training, increased access to diagnostic information, single alarm and event logging, and faster control responses. The new release is fully

scalable and also continues to support migration from Honeywell’s TotalPlant Alcont (TPA) systems. Customers migrating to Experion PMD are able to reuse many existing TotalPlant Alcont assets to minimise costs, and commissioning and start-up times. Existing TotalPlant Alcont application solutions are converted to Experion using existing cabinets, I/O and wiring so the costs of implementation can be minimised while significantly extending the life of equipment.
