<p>A method and apparatus for the continuous monitoring of the moisture content of a two-component material or product, such as margarine. The method and apparatus enables the continuous monitoring of the moisture content of the material through the generation of an electrical signal which is transmitted to a suitable data logging system wherein the electrical signal is converted into moisture content data and which stores the information for subsequent use. The apparatus for effectuating the continuous monitoring of the moisture content of the material, in which the material is treated while being conveyed through a flowline conduit in a processing system, includes a probe consisting of an elongated capacitor cell coated with or encased in a non-conductive material. The probe is inserted into the conduit in parallel with the direction of the flow of the material so as to be fully immersed therein.</p> |
