The Hydro-Mix VII is a rugged, flush mounted microwave moisture measurement sensor for mixers, chutes and conveyors in 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 response to changes in moisture content, including the determination of homogeneity.
Typically used to measure moisture in concrete mixing, the Hydro-Mix VII 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 firmware 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 VII is simple to integrate.
Note: You must use Hydro-Com version 1.6.3 or later to configure Hydro-Mix VII sensors
