Hydronix (UK) Moisture Measurement System - Lintec & Linnhoff – Global

About

Digital microwave technology for water-cement ratio consistency and slump control

Hydronix Sensors utilise digital microwave technology for measuring the moisture in a flowing material. Hydronix Sensors uses its own unique digital measurement technique to provide the highest possible accuracy and range of measurement. Hydro-Control System can automatically calculate and add the correct amount of water to the mixer, ensuring that the required consistency of concrete can be easily achieved, one batch to another.

Features

Unique digital microwave measurement technique for ultimate precision.
Unique sensor features such as the choice of digital measurement modes.
Rugged design built to last.

Specifications

Specification	Hydro-Probe Sensor	Hydro-Mix Sensor	Hydro-Control System
Body Construction Material	Stainless Steel	Stainless Steel	The Hydro-Control VI is a standalone unit that can be connected to a control system, enabling the transfer of mix cycle information easily. With features such as automatic recipe selection and a coloured touch screen display, the unit is designed for simplicity of use and integration into new or existing control systems. The Hydro-Control VI unit can accurately and continuously monitor, displays and adjust the moisture levels of the material throughout the mix cycle. Using known recipes, the it automatically calculates and adds the correct amount of water to the mix. This ensures that the required moisture target can be easily achieved, one batch to another.
