| Dry Bulk Density Testing Apparatus and Determine Moisture Content of Foods Reliadens ™ (Reliable Density Monitoring)  Reliadens is the first on-line automated bulk density monitoring system for producers of dry bulk flowing products such as foods, food grains, dry milk, resin, organic matter, dry gelatin, milled materials, etc. It consists of 3 modules:
- A compact sampler which mounts on-line
- An amplifier module which contains
a patented tare board and signal conditioner - The controller mounts remotely for
operator convenience

How much profit does your company lose due to bulk material waste each year? How much would your company save if you had an apparatus that would determine exactly what your dry bulk density was at any given time so as to better control your process? Solution for both of these questions is to buy our Bulk Density Measurement Testing Equipment and/or our Automatic Moisture Tester to improve your company profits.
Key Benefits of our Dry Bulk Monitoring Equipment
| - Detects bulk density changes as they occur for improved process control.
- Accurate and reproducible
- Reliadens™ measures outputs, which may be used as inputs in closed loops.
- Completes SPC charts.
- No radiation, takes an actual sample of product for evaluation (rather than inferred values).
- Sample is returned into product stream (no waste).
| | - Compact - installs where product is manipulated, rather than where it's convenient for operators to reach.
- Near real-time data - samples as often as every 15 seconds (depending on configuration), doing it the exact same way every time.
- Human error or bias is eliminated.
- Simple, strait forward design - intuitively understandable to operators.
- Simple calibration

AQUADENS ™ (In-Line Bulk Density Moisture Testing) AquaDens incorporates the accuracy and reliability of the Reliadens with the precision and dependability of the AquaTrend. This in-line combined system uses a 6-step cycle which collects a known volume of product and measures both bulk density and moisture on the same sample, before returning it to the product stream.
For foods sold by weight but dispensed by volume or retailed with a nutritional assurance, inconsistencies cut into profit. Aquadens units can be installed anywhere in the process from raw materials to finished product, and help achieve strict control of bulk density and moisture by providing information needed to determine corrections before problems get out of control.
Applications include process control of expanded and fried snack lines and cereal systems. For example, one snack manufacturer uses a feedback signal from an Aquadens unit to adjust fryer oil temperature and thereby control product expansion. Controlling expansion in this way not only ensures consistent taste, texture and pick up but also reduces bulk density variation. In many cases this enables manufacturers to reduce bag size and therefore packaging costs. Other benefits include:  Eliminating the cost of rejecting out of specification product.
Significantly reduced product give-away. Greater consistency in cooking and frying. Improved dryer control. Eliminating the labor costs and imprecision of hand sampling.
A consistent measure of product is taken directly from the product stream for analysis: bulk density is determined by weight, and moisture by radio frequency. The measurements can be repeated as often as every minute, so the data collected is near real-time. This ensures that adjustments, manual or automatic, are made immediately to address any variations.
How Aquadens ™ Works The AquaDens™ uses an enhanced Radio Frequency technique to measure total product moisture. The transmitting probe is encased in teflon, which diffuses the signal and allows they system to detect all moisture, not just surface moisture. The AquaDens also uses a patented receiver which is not temperature sensitive, allowing for accurate moisture measurement in a variety of operating conditions. Measuring moisture and bulk density together allows the AquaDens to correct the moisture measurement for changes in bulk density. 
Benefits of Aquadens ™ Uses bulk density compensation for accurate moisture determination Stable calibration, auto zero reduces drift Accurate and reproducible moisture and bulk density measurements Measures total moisture not surface moisture Readings not affected by changes in temperature or production rate Capable of communication with your control and data acquisition systems
