Concrete Mixer Moisture Probes
Keeping aggregate moisture levels in check
Variable moisture level of sand and aggregates is the major cause of inconsistency between concrete batches. As gravity drains the water downwards the moisture in stockpile will not be constant. The deeper the loader shovel digs in the water in the material gets higher, and stays longer in the feeding bins, leaving high levels of moisture at the bottom.
Concrete Mixer Moisture Probes provide immediate feedback to the operator and allow for precise control over the water/cement ratio. Mixer moisture sensors can be installed in the floor of any type of concrete mixers and are the best solution for precast manufacturers where target moisture for every batch is within +/- 0.1% accuracy.
ARCOMIX V2 – Microwave Moisture Sensors
Arcomix V2 moisture sensors use microwaves to determine the moisture level in the mix. This is the most convenient and precise method for moisture measurement on the market. Measurement depth varies between 65 and 100mm, depending on the type of the mix and material. It ensures that a good portion of the mix is checked for an exact result.
- Wear resistant and easy to replace ceramic faceplate
- Can be installed on all type of concrete mixers
- Stainless steel body
- Measurements are not affected by temperature changes
- Wide range of integration options
- Can also be installed on conveyor belts and discharge chutes
MOISTCOM – All-in-One Configuration Software
