Moisture probe for concrete mixers
Hydronix
Tough, digital, flush mounted sensor for measurement of moisture in wet and dry materials during the mixing cycle, in chutes and mixers.
The Hydro-Mix VI is a rugged, flush mounted microwave moisture measurement sensor for mixers and other process control environments. Designed by Hydronix to be installed in the turbulent environment of a mixer, the Hydro-Mix features integral signal processing and is easily connected to any control system. The sensor reads at 25 times per second which enables rapid detection in moisture content in the process, including the determination of homogeneity.
Typically used to measure moisture in concrete mixing, the Hydro-Mix VI is also used successfully in other industries where it can be installed in a mixer, for example, grain processing and animal feed. The Hydro-Mix is fitted into the floor of a mixer or screw conveyor and takes measurements as the material flows over the ceramic head during processing.
Remote configuration, calibration, diagnostics and software upgrades can easily be undertaken using Hydronix Hydro-Com software. This allows direct integration with any control system without the requirement of any other interface unit. Combined with on-board functionality such as signal processing, smoothing and averaging the Hydro-Mix VI is simple to integrate.
