MC4000 Advanced In-Kiln Moisture Measurement System

Proven over the last 40 years in hundreds of mills worldwide, Wagner Meters' Moisture Measurement and moisture analysis software have been the solutions to minimize wet claims. By providing critical moisture quality control data, mills can rely on these valuable tools to alleviate product degrade due to over-drying. Wagner Meters introduces its newest moisture measurement system, the MC4000 Advanced In-Kiln System. Utilizing state of the art electromagnetic wave technology the MC4000 includes the most recent innovations for In-Kiln moisture measurement.

The automatic kiln shutdown and alarm feature allows kiln operators to maximize time and productivity without having to check for the correct moisture content to be displayed on the screen. It also eliminates hot checks. The MC4000 includes a built-in relay which is capable of shutting down the kiln at a certain moisture  content within 1% of target moisture content, or sounding an alarm at the desired moisture level. The MC4000 may be used as a stand alone system or can be linked to virtually any computerized kiln controller through our integrated open architecture design.

The MC4000 Advanced In-Kiln Moisture Measurement System enables the kiln operator to monitor the moisture content of each charge and develop consistent drying time schedules for improved kiln performance and reduced operating costs. The MC4000 will cut costs due to degrade and over-drying and improve grade recovery to help increase the bottom line.

Why do you need the MC4000 Advanced In-Kiln Moisture Measurement System?

• Saves money by cutting the high costs of degrade due to over-drying
• Provides precise and repeatable MC measurement for consistent results at end point
• Improves grade to increase your bottom line
• Prevents unnecessary energy costs by reducing kiln time
