HFM Hops Humidity Meter

The Checkline HFM hops moisture meter can determine the moisture content of hops.
For determination of water content of loose or compressed hops, hops equilibrium moisture content, air humidity of kiln and conditioning chamber, long-term recording of temperature and climate data.

The HFM can be connected with following available external sensors:

• Hop umbel sensor for measurement of loose hop cones.
  Fill the measuring chamber with loose hop cones and compress the material by tightening the cap. The display immediately shows water content and temperature of the material.
   
• Insertion probe for measurement in compressed bales.
  After plugging the probe into the bale, water content and temperature can immediately be read off the display (the wrapping can be penetrated by the probe). If desired the measuring results can be saved via datalog.
   
• Infrared sensor for non-contact temperature measurement of hops
  Point the non-contact infrared sensor towards the material - the display immediately shows the current temperature.
   
• Air humidity and temperature sensor for measurement of hops equilibrium moisture content in conditioning chamber as well as for measurement of relative air humidity, e.g. in exhaust air during kiln drying.
  The sensor offers calibration curves for relative humidity, hops equilibrium moisture content and absolute moisture. The current temperature and humidity or water content can be read off the display and can be saved manually or automatically in adjustable intervals.
