Liebherr moisture and water content measurement systems

Measurement & sensor technologies

Products

Liebherr has decades of experience in the capacitive measuring technology sector. Our range comprises sensor systems to determine moisture, water content, coating thickness and surface weight.

By capacitively measuring the moisture and water content, our sensor system provides important information to control and regulate our customers' process chain in real time (in situ).

In this way, we enable our customers to significantly increase efficiency through optimised use of resources.

Moisture and water content determination

Liebherr has been developing measurement systems for industrial automation since 1985. Our sensors reliably determine the moisture or water content in various materials and liquids. The benefit of Liebherr measurement systems is high precision thanks to 40 measurements per second, as well as the sensors' reproducibility. The systems can be integrated in various production facilities such as on conveyor belts, upstream and downstream of dryers, at transfer points, in hoppers but also in pipelines or tanks. Our systems measure, monitor and regulate the humidity or water content automatically and in real time. Continuous measurement guarantees high precision.

Sensors are developed and manufactured at the Liebherr-Mischtechnik GmbH location in Bad Schussenried (Germany). Here, we produce and calibrate the sensors in an environment protected against ESD.

Reliability that promotes trust

We test each sensor over the entire working temperature range in a process that takes several hours.

When Liebherr started producing sensors, we used the measurement systems that we developed ourselves only in our own concrete mixing plants. The sensors determine the sand moisture in the running process. For this task, we developed sensors that work reliably even under extreme outdoor conditions. Our experience in concrete technology pays off for our customers: Liebherr sensors measure precisely and have a long service life.

Mission

Liebherr develops and manufactures high-quality humidity and water content sensor systems for individual, OEM and major customers in important market segments. We assist the customer even before the purchase of humidity and water content sensors and advise the customer in order to find the best technical and economic solution together. We invest in the area of innovation and want to understand the needs of the customers. We offer solutions that are characterised by quality, reliability and sustainability. Our vision is that companies looking for a technical solution in the field of moisture and water content measurement should see us as a competent and reliable partner and consider our measurement technology products first.
