<p>A system (4) for analyzing the moisture content of bulk cotton (22) or other non-homogeneous flowable solid substrates comprising: an electrical sensor (18) consisting of multiple electrically independent measuring electrodes (1 and 2), each of which independently measures the moisture content of different portions of the sample (22); a means (12) of pressing the mass (22) against the surface of the sensor (18) to form a face of uniform substrate density on that part of the mass (22) which is pressed against the sensor (18); means (Fig. 8) for analyzing such face for moisture content; and a means for releasing the pressure on the halted mass (22) to allow it to resume movement.</p> |
