Moisture sensor, Litronic-FMS planar sensor type P71-HD with PEEK product contact surface
Small, fine, excellent...and new in hygenic design.
Our sensors in conjunction with the Liebherr moisture measurement system type Litronic-FMS has become indispensable for many industrial processes in several branches and now also designed for use in hygiene-critical production environments in the food industry.
Determine moisture/or water content during various food production, processing, refining and monitoring processes.
The moisture measuring installation was invented in 1985 at the Bad Schussenried factory. Measurement by the Liebherr sensor system is based on the physical principle of capacitance determination in the high-frequency stray field.

- Indirect measuring method: Capacity determination in the high frequency stray field. This method uses the different dielectric constant (permittivity) of water and different materials (solids and liquids).
- Fully reproducible sensors: If the plant is subsequently extended with sensors or if sensors are replaced, no recalibration is necessary thanks to the built-in microprocessor.
- Waterproof and dustproof: The sensor is also suitable for the harshest environments thanks to its IP69K protection class.
- High sensitivity: The sensor surface is made of the high-temperature resistant, thermoplastic material PEEK.
- Process control and regulation: Thanks to extensive interfaces, the moisture measurement can be integrated into process control systems and controls.
- Cost saving: Time-consuming and costly laboratory analyses are no longer necessary or can be reduced.
- Limit values: Maximum or minimum limits can be set using the software. Light or sound signals can be triggered if required.
- Mean value calculator: The sensor passes on already averaged values to the FMS evaluation and transfer module.
- SIP & CIP: Cleaning in Place (CIP) und Sterilazation in Place (SIP)
- GEA VARINLINE Type-N Process connection, so you pretty flexible
- EHEDG: Hygenic food equipment certified according to the EHEDG guidelines
