Precise Moisture Control with SONO-VARIO Xtrem® Gravel Moisture Content Sensor
SONO-VARIO Xtrem® Gravel Moisture Content Sensor is a superior solution for measuring moisture in highly abrasive and coarse aggregates like granite, recycle, gravel, rock, crushed stone, and RAP, with diameters up to 1.25 inches.
Discover the SONO-VARIO Xtrem® Gravel Moisture Content Sensor
Part of the esteemed SONO® sensors family, our SONO Vario Xtrem Gravel Moisture Content Sensor is engineered to deliver impeccable accuracy and reliability, boasting measurement readings better than 0.1% in concrete and asphalt production applications.
The Technology Behind Our Xtrem® Gravel Moisture Content Sensor
At the core of our SONO moisture sensors lies the groundbreaking TRIME® TDR technology. This patented innovation ensures that the measuring field penetrates deep into a substantial material volume, providing you with highly accurate and repeatable moisture measurements. With over two decades of expertise, Seztec’s moisture probes meet all your aggregate and fresh concrete measurement needs.
Built to Endure the Toughest Conditions
The sensor head of the Xtrem® Gravel Moisture Content Sensor is meticulously crafted from high-quality ceramic, designed to withstand the harshest abrasion. Beneath its rugged exterior, intelligent electronics armed with advanced algorithms and filters work tirelessly to automatically calibrate and adapt to surface abrasion.
Gravel Moisture Content Sensor with Replaceable Sensor Head
Unlike other competitors, we offer you the flexibility to replace the sensor head if it ever succumbs to abrasion, without the need to replace the entire probe. This not only extends your maintenance intervals but also saves you precious time and resources.
Precision at Every Level
Our probe features a built-in temperature sensor positioned just millimeters beneath the sensing head. This provides real-time material temperature readings and enables automatic temperature compensation to control measurement drift, ensuring the highest industry accuracy.
Tailored Calibration Options
Choose from 15 pre-programmed standard linear calibrations, allowing you to select the ideal setting for various material types, perfectly aligning with your measurement requirements.
Seamless Integration
SONO probes offer a range of interface options, accommodating every data transfer need. Transfer parameters such as moisture content, conductivity, and temperature directly into your PLC through two analog outputs (0-20 mA) or via RS485 and IMP-Bus interface. Alternatively, connect the probe to your local PC (USB port) using the SM-USB module or SONO-VIEW field display for individual parameter adjustments and calibrations.
Versatility Meets Precision
Whether for online process moisture measurement, concrete and asphalt production, ready-mix and pre-cast applications, or installations on conveyors, belts, hoppers, and screw conveyors, our SONO VARIO Xtrem Gravel Moisture Content Sensor delivers exceptional performance. It’s also perfect for highly conductive materials like Foundry Sand, Ore, Slag, and Coal.
Key Advantages
- Exchangeable sensor head with wear-resistant steel/ceramic window.
- Auto-correction function: the probe recalibrates itself in the event of abrasion at the probe head.
- Up to 15 different material calibration curves are directly stored inside the probe.
- Intelligent pre-processing inside the probe with smooth mean value accumulation and powerful adjustable filters.
