APPLICATION OF HYDRONIX SENSORS IN THE CONCRETE MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY

Hydronix moisture sensors were initially developed for the ready-mix concrete and precast concrete industries to optimize the accuracy of mixing and slump control. These sensors have proven to be of great value in industries that use sand or aggregates in their processing.

Features of Hydronix Moisture Sensors:

Using microwave technology, Hydronix sensors can accurately measure the water content in materials as they move through silos, on conveyor belts, or in mixers. The sensors are placed directly in the material flow, performing 25 measurements per second, allowing real-time data transmission to the plant control system. This capability ensures precise water addition during processing, maintaining consistent product quality and minimizing material waste.

Installation Options for Hydronix Sensors:

Hydronix sensors offer multiple flexible installation options to meet the specific requirements of the plant. For optimal results, sensors can be installed at the discharge gate of the silo or inside the silo itself. The Hydro-Probe sensor model is ideal for measuring moisture as materials flow over the sensor surface. Additionally, to monitor moisture in sand and aggregates on the feed conveyor, you can install the Hydro-Probe or Hydro-Probe Orbiter above the conveyor to measure as materials move.
