So users aren't left out in the rain: Moisture sensors from Liebherr

The moisture content of bulk materials is measured for more than just quality assurance. It is also relevant to the energy efficiency of processing operations. With the precise humidity sensors from Liebherr, humidity remains under constant control. For more quality and sustainability.

Humidity is one of the most important quality parameters for the industrial processing of bulk materials. But today, more than ever, plant operators are required to keep an eye on the sustainability of processes. This is not simply a matter of environmental sustainability, but also money: No company can afford to waste resources, because excessive consumption puts pressure on already tightly calculated margins. The use of sophisticated measurement technology in automated processes is essential for cost- and energy-efficient plant operation.

 

Moisture measurement with triple benefits

Humidity measurement plays a key role in numerous applications, such as in the food industry. Firstly, moisture monitoring during drying can save an enormous amount of energy and minimise the risk of plant downtime due to jamming of downstream machines. Secondly, precise moisture measurement increases the quality of the product and keeps it consistently high by adhering to the predefined tolerances. This helps to reduce waste and rejected products. Thirdly, reliable humidity sensors are playing an increasingly important role in meeting ever more stringent environmental standards.

Developing sustainable protein sources: Bühler Insect Technology

In the coming decades, the demand for protein for humans and animals will dramatically increase, but conventional protein sources are not environmentally friendly. Using insect protein plants, Bühler is taking another path.

“The insect industry is still in its infancy. That is why we rely on partners like Bachofen in developing these facilities; partners who don’t want to fob us off with standard products, but who are ready to put time, creativity and their heart and soul into a project.“
