Hydro-Mix Flush mount, digital, microwave moisture sensor 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. Remote configuration, calibration, diagnostics and firmware upgrades are simple using Hydronix HydroCom software. The linear output allows...

Typical Installation All types of static pan, horizontal shaft and ribbon mixer. Also suitable for installation in screw conveyors, chutes and other flush mount applications. For rotating pan mixers the Hydro-Probe Orbiter Sensor is recommended. Connectivity Up to 16 sensors may be daisy chained to connect directly to a control system via the RS485 serial communications link. Hydro-Control Connection Provides a complete system to control Direct Connection to Control System moisture in a mixing application. The analogue or serial interface a direct connection to an operator integrates easily...
