Self-Ignition Risks in Hop, Alfalfa, Straw, and Hay Bales

Hops, alfalfa, straw, and hay have a relatively low ignition temperature. Oxidation in the presence of moisture and air or bacterial fermentation release heat. If the heat is unable to escape (hops, alfalfa, hay, straw etc. are good thermal insulators) and the temperature rises above the ignition point this may cause a self-ignition: A fire develops without an external ignition source.

Microwave technology vs. KFT - which of the two is the more efficient technology?

The moisture content in food products has an extreme influence on the quality of the product and its shelf life. Shorter drying times enable a higher throughput and avoid over-drying of the product and, hence wasting energy. To precisely measure the moisture content of a product there are several different technologies available in the market.

MW 3012: The solution for your Weight Control System on the cigarette maker and filter maker.

Do you remember how density of the tobacco rod was measured 25 years ago before TEWS invented the Microwave Density Measuring Head MW 3000? Most of us don’t, but back in those times, most cigarette makers had a radiation sign (trefoil) on its measuring head because they included a nuclear source for the Beta-Rays to measure the density/weight.

How to Control the Density of Fish Feed.

When fish feed is put into water, it should act in accordance with the feeding behavior of the respective fish. This means that it should either float on the surface or sink to the bottom. These characteristics largely depend on the fish feed’s density, which in turn defines the different types of fish feed:

Innovative Microwave System for Moisture Measurement.

The current development process being handled by Karsten Eisenhardt and Julia Podszuck promises considerable savings, more stable quality and greatly simplified use for machinery operators.

Accurate to the point - microwave-based moisture measurement increases productivity.

Fast and accurate measurement of the moisture content in food can save time and money. Too high or too low moisture is undesirable. This often leads to loss of quality and makes further processing of the intermediate product more difficult or even impossible. If the moisture content is known, drying times can be optimized. Improved quality and longer shelf life are the result.
