Abstract
A device for processing a product mass, including a container for receiving the product mass, at least one product mass processing tool in the container, which is provided to act on the product mass, and at least one sensor means having a dielectric sensor, wherein the sensor means is arranged and formed in such a way that dielectric properties of the product mass can be detected continuously or at least temporarily by means of the dielectric sensor in an environment of the dielectric sensor. The invention further relates to a method for processing a product mass, in particular by means of a device of this type.
Claims19
A device for processing a product mass, comprising a container for receiving the product mass,
- at least one product mass processing tool in the container, which is provided to act on the product mass, and
- at least one sensor means having a dielectric sensor, wherein the sensor means is arranged and formed in such a way that dielectric properties of the product mass can be detected continuously or at least temporarily by means of the dielectric sensor in an environment of the dielectric sensor.
A method for processing a product mass in a container, with at least one product mass processing tool in the container, which is provided to act on the product mass, and at least one sensor means having a dielectric sensor, wherein the sensor means is arranged and formed in such a way that dielectric properties of the product mass can be detected continuously or at least temporarily by means of the dielectric sensor in an environment of the dielectric sensor, the method including the steps of:
- filling the product mass and/or starting material for creating the product mass into a container;
- acting on the product mass by means of at least one product mass processing tool in the container, wherein the product mass is processed or formed and processed by means of contact with the product mass processing tool, and the product mass processing tool is at least temporarily in contact with the product mass;
- and
- detecting, by means of a sensor means having a dielectric sensor, dielectric properties of the product mass in an environment of the dielectric sensor, wherein the detecting takes place continuously or at least temporarily, while the product mass is located in the container.
