CreaSense Moisture Sensor

Overview

The CreaSense Moisture sensor is designed to measure moisture content in solid bulk materials such as sawdust and other fine or particulate substances. It uses capacitive sensing technology to provide reliable measurements in applications where traditional liquid-based sensors are not suitable.

The sensor measures moisture by detecting changes in the dielectric properties of the material. It is intended for use in industrial and processing environments where continuous monitoring of material moisture is required.

Because different materials behave differently, the sensor is designed to be calibrated for each specific use case, ensuring relevant and usable measurements.

Key Features
  • Capacitive measurement technology enables moisture detection in solid and particulate materials such as sawdust.

  • RS485 communication allows reliable integration with industrial systems and controllers over longer distances.

  • Manual calibration allows the sensor to be adjusted for specific materials and application requirements.

  • Calibration-based output supports improved accuracy, with the option to use a data table for more precise and application-specific measurement mapping.

  • Flexible installation options allow mounting on flat metal surfaces or inside pipes using nylon 3D-printed adapters.

  • Custom mounting solutions (client-specific adapters) enable integration into different mechanical setups and industrial environments.

Aplications

The sensor can be installed directly onto a flat metal surface or inside larger pipes where material flows. To support different installation geometries, nylon 3D-printed adapters can be provided and customized based on the client’s mechanical requirements.

This allows the sensor to be integrated into existing systems with minimal modification.

It is suitable for the next applications:

  • Moisture monitoring in sawdust and wood processing.

  • Bulk material handling and processing.

  • Industrial environments where solid or particulate moisture measurement is required.

The CreaSense Moisture sensor provides a flexible and adaptable solution for measuring moisture in solid materials, with calibration, RS485 integration, and mounting options tailored to each application.
