SONO MIX

Product catalog summary

Introduction
The document discusses the SONO MIX moisture sensor technology, which is used for real-time moisture determination in concrete mixers. This technology is based on TRIME® radar technology and is designed to maintain accuracy over time without value drift.

Specifications
The SONO MIX sensors are designed for various types of concrete, including earth-moist to fluent, with grain sizes up to 32 mm. The sensors are made from hardened materials to withstand wear and extend their lifespan. They are mounted on the mixer bottom or scraper, depending on the model.

Product Variants

SONO MIX: Suitable for all common concretes, with a hardened steel probe and special resistant ceramic measuring field.
SONO MIX Mini: Similar applications as SONO MIX, with a stainless steel housing not in contact with the medium.
SONO VIEW: An optional stand-alone display that can connect up to 16 sensors and includes PC software for parameterization.

Applications and Challenges
The document outlines the use of SONO MIX in different mixer types, such as one shaft, twin shaft, planetary, and intensive mixers. It highlights the importance of accurate moisture determination for quality control, especially in precast plants and concrete product production.

Recommendations
For processes with very short mixing times, external moisture determination in fine aggregates is recommended to maintain process speed and quality. Accurate moisture measurement is only possible in fully mixed, homogeneous mixtures.

Technical Data

Probe dimensions: SONO MIX (Ø 108 mm, height 135 mm), SONO MIX Mini HC (60 x 40 x 135 mm).
Measuring range: 0-100% vol. moisture content, with accuracies up to 1-3 liters/m³.
Power supply: +12V to +24V DC; 3W.
Calibration: Universal calibration provided, with options for user-specific calibrations.

Conclusion
The SONO MIX technology offers a robust solution for moisture measurement in concrete mixing, ensuring high-quality output and reduced operating costs through durable design and accurate measurement capabilities.
