Dew point
Dew point measuring for moisture
monitoring in granulate driers
CS Instruments GmbH & Co.KG offers the appropriate instruments for measuring the
dew point (degree of drying in granulate driers).
During transport and storage, plastic granules absorb more or less moisture depending on
climatic conditions. Using wet granules leads to quality problems in the injection moulding
process.
If the plastic is not optimally dried during processing in injection moulding machines, this has
many negative effects on the end product. For example, when processing excessively wet
plastic, bubbles or streaks may appear on the surface or dimensional accuracy is not assured.
Increasing quality requirements for plastic products make economical drying of the plastic
granulate to be processed necessary. When drying, the dew point in °Ctd (degree of drying)
should ideally be in the range between -30…-60 °Ctd.
Below -15 °Ctd dew point no adequate drying effect is achieved.

Portable dew point meter DP 510 for quick check
of granulate driers
The DP 500/DP 510 instruments are the ideal mobile service instruments for dew point measurement for all types of driers
down to -80°Ctd dew point.
The 3,5“ graphic display with touch screen makes the operation very easy.
The graphic indication of coloured measuring curves is unique. Ideal for measurement of the current dew point and for graphic indication of
the dew point curve, the switching behaviour of the drier over a longer period of time.
Up to 100 million measured values can be stored with date and measuring site name. The measured data can be transferred to the com-
puter via USB stick. The data can be evaluated comfortably by means of the software CS Soft Basic.
Everything at a glance
From the granulate drier Measurement curves are indi-
cated graphically and thus the
user can see at a glance the
behaviour of the drier since
the start of the measurement.

Statement of the company STOLZ & SENG in Donaueschingen:
“Increasing quality requirements for plastic products make economical drying of the
plastic granulate to be processed necessary. During drying, the dew point in °Ctd
(degree of drying) must ideally be in the range between -30…-60 °Ctd.”
The company Stolz und Seng, Managing Director Mr. Seng has already decided
since several years to use FA 510 dew point sensors from CS Instruments GmbH &
Co. KG.
