MS-590L-1 Automatic Single-Bale Moisture Measurement System

Direct In-Process Moisture Measurement

The MS-590L-1 provides automatic, non-contact moisture measurement for selected recovered-paper and PET bottle bales during receiving inspection.
Using microwave through-transmission technology, the system measures selected bales without opening or damaging them, supporting bale-level quality inspection, supplier evaluation and moisture-deduction management.

Product Overview
Automatic Moisture Inspection for Individual Bales The MS-590L-1 provides automatic, non-contact moisture measurement for selected recovered-paper and PET bottle bales during receiving inspection. Each selected bale passes through the microwave measurement area, where the system automatically collects moisture data and calculates a bale-level result. Measurement results can be recorded and transmitted to the facility’s receiving or quality-management system, helping reduce manual inspection and improve bale-level moisture records. The final sampling, moisture-deduction and settlement methods remain subject to the facility’s inspection procedures and commercial agreements.
Suitable Process Media
Designed for selected: Recovered paper bales Waste paper bales PET bottle bales Compressed paper materials Final suitability depends on the material type, bale dimensions, packing density, moisture distribution and handling method.
Measurement Principle
Microwave transmitting and receiving antennas are positioned around the bale-measurement area. Microwave signals pass through the selected bale. Changes in moisture affect the received microwave response, and an application-specific calibration model converts the measured response into a single-bale moisture result.

Key Advantages

1. Non‑Contact Bale Measurement

Measures moisture through the selected bale without opening or damaging it, reducing manual bale handling during routine inspection;

2. Bale‑Level Moisture Results

Provides an individual moisture result for each inspected bale, supporting supplier comparison and identification of abnormal moisture conditions;

3. Automatic Measurement and Recording

Measurement can be triggered automatically as the bale enters the inspection area. Results can be displayed, stored and uploaded to the plant system;

4. Receiving‑System Integration

Supports 4–20 mA, RS485 and RS232 interfaces for connection with quality‑management, weighing or settlement systems
