Description
The Hydro-Mix is a rugged, microwave moisture measurement sensor designed to be installed flush with the floor of a mixer, chute or conveyor in process control environments. Reading at 25 times per second and combined with onboard functionality such as signal processing, smoothing and averaging, the Hydro-Mix accurately measures the moisture content of material as it passes over the ceramic faceplate. The sensor is for the measurement of sand, cement and aggregate mixtures within a concrete mixer during the mix process. The main parts consist of a stainless steel body, protection ring and end cap, silicon nitride ceramic facia. There is an external 10 way connector for power and communications. Internally there are two circuit boards.
