Why you need to know temp.& Moisture?

2
Why you have to know?
• How does grain get heat?
 From different place with different
condition.
 The quality of grain is not good.
• Mold growth
 High humidity and high temperature shall
let the grain get moldy, the quality of
grain will definitely get low.
• Insect damage
 High-temp. environment is suitable for
insect growth.
• Keep the cost down
 How to spend the least money to get
longer expiration date is always the
priority to the user.
5
How do you know the temperature?
• Feeling, touching, smelling or any other
experience

• Use temperature sensor (Thermocouple) to

detect.

• 2 in 1 grain temperature & level monitoring

transmitter

6
What is the advantage of EST?
• Monitoring the condition of grain, food or feed mill
instantly.
• Strong structure design for the cable to resist pulling force
Max. 4,000 kgf. Protect the vibration and strike from
material incoming to extend the durability of EST.
• Widely use for many kinds of grain. Such as corn, soybean,
sorghum, rice and wheat…etc. Or even coal or cement.
• FineTek is the only one supplier who is able to provide 2 in
1 grain temperature& level monitoring transmitter to save
your cost and installation.
• Temp. sensor interval and quantity can be customized
• Easy to do the remote control in office or control room with
MMS-TLA system.

Electromechanical Level Measuring System

23
Electromechanical Level Measuring System

• The system contains a weight A

suspended by a cable B with
C
movement provided by a motor
drive C …. and controlled
by associated electronics.
B
• When measuring, the weight will
drop down into the medium and
cable wire will rotate the pulley. A

• Position sensor and control board

will calculate the distance of travel
of the weight based on how many
rotations the pulley accomplishes
Electromechanical Level Measuring System
User-friendly in touch buttons
Comfortable observation via LCD
Easy measure, setup via 4 touch buttons

Four Start Modes :

Auto start : The system automatically
measures the level every set-up interval time.
Manual start : The system measures after
user presses “Run” button.
Intelligent start : Measuring interval time is
inverse proportional to medium level

34
Features/ Advantages
The Magnet Float Level Transmitter is composed of a float and sensing . As the float is
raised or lowered by the liquid level, the sensing rod will induce a resistance output, which
is directly proportional to the liquid level. The sensed resistance is fed to the transducer
located in the enclosure for conversion to signal of 4~20 mA

EG Magnetostrictive Level Transmitter

74
What is the principle of EG?
Working Principle
•Measuring Process is initiated by a current pulse.
•Pulse generates an axial magnetic wave along the length of wire.
•Wire is made of magnetostrictive material (inside the tube)
•Float has permanent magnets acts as a Position transducer.
•Interaction of both magnetic field generates torsion wave in the
wire.
•Detects float absolute position with high accuracy
•PCB in housing converts this into electrical signal
