Nowadays, the concrete quality is of vital importance for the industrial production process. In order to meet the increasing quality demands, it is essential to control and regulate the moisture content. The Water Batching Computer BT-700 determines the moisture of the concrete in the mixer fast and exactly. It calculates and doses the water to be added with high repeatability and is thus the basis for a constantly optimal concrete quality. Water Batching Computer

High Repeatability The multi-level processing of the measured values is an important feature of the BT-700 as it ensures a particu- larly high repeatability. Thanks to this technique, every mixer with its specific mixing performance can be adju- sted to the output signal of the sensor. Measuring out- liers are suppressed for mixers with very high amplitude fluctuations. Thus, we have a constant value for calcula- ting the water to be added. This is especially favourable for the production of precast parts or Self-Compacting Unfiltered input signal of the microwave sensor Filtering of the multi-level...

Water Batching Computer Water Dosing Unit Microwave Sensors General Information The microwave sensors were developed in cooperation with the chair for high frequency engineering of the technical faculty of the Christian-Albrecht-University in Kiel. The measurement accuracy of the microwave sen- sor under laboratory conditions is better than 0.1 %. The complete linearity of the microwave sensor allows precise measurements with very dry concrete as well Temperature Stability The microwave sensors for installation in mixers are heat-resistant up to 60 °C. This guarantees that the measured value...

These problems can only be avoided by guaranteeing a constant concrete quality. Mass Products Here are a fast production, good filling behaviour of the core concrete with constantly the same height as well as...
