The IMKO GmbH is one of the market-leading manufacturers of components and systems for the measurement of the moisture content of materials. The IMKO probes of the SONO series represent a new generation of moisture probes which were primarily developed for deployment in the construction industry, food production, as well as the chemical and pharmaceuticals industry. Their range of application is however not limited to these industries. The decisive factor for this success is the deployment of state-of-the-art TRIME radar technology which makes it possible to measure the moisture content, respectively the humidity of materials within the scope of a multitude of applications with great accuracy and directly at the site on a fault-free and cost-effective basis.

Hardly any other measurement has such a decisive significance for the product quality as does the moisture content. This applies to both the product development and the production itself.

Exemplary for this are chemical and pharmaceutical media, as well as food production, where the capability to perform a fast online determination of this parameter apparently generates considerable cost-saving potential. The SONO probes are respectively deployed for the inline measurement of various different materials. The subsequent improvement of the process control not only enables to optimise the throughput times, but also saves energy, elevates productivity, and, last but not least, reduces the workload. The laborious taking of samples, as this is required when conventional measurement devices are deployed, is reduced to a minimum.
