Aggregate Moisture Measurement solutions

Variable moisture levels of sand, and aggregates, are the major cause of inconsistencies between concrete batches. As water drains down, under the force of gravity, the moisture levels of stockpile material do not remain constant.

Aggregate Moisture Probes provide immediate feedback on moisture levels, of the material, inside the bins and on conveyors. Accurate moisture detail is crucial for readjustment of quantities, in the recipe, during production.

HUMIARC V3 – Microwave Moisture Sensor

HUMIARC V3 moisture sensors use microwaves to determine the moisture level of aggregates inside bins, on conveyors and in the material flow. It is the most convenient, and precise, method for moisture measurement on the market. Measurement depth varies between 65 and 100mm, dependent upon the type of the material used, ensuring a sufficient portion is checked for an exact result.

  • Continuous Reading
  • Wear resistant ceramic faceplate and  stainless steel or coated body
  • Can be installed on all type of bins and conveyors
  • Measurements are not affected by temperature changes
  • Calibration data is stored inside the aggregate moisture probe to improve autonomy
  • Wide range of integration options

MOISTCOM – All-in-One Configuration Software

Moisture sensors require an interface and software to measure, adjust and record moisture readings. The MOISTCOM software package gives you total control and securely stores all the readings.

MOSITCOME offers:

  • Calibration, set up and diagnostics with up to 16 sensors
  • Easy multipoint calibration for high accuracy
  • Allows saving of parameters and measurements for analysis
  • Reserve copy creating and parameter restoring

Versatility and Easy Retrofitting

HUMIARC V3 aggregate moisture probes can be retrofitted to a wide number of concrete plants and are available in two options:

  • HUMIARC-X: with stainless steel body.
  • HUMIARC-P: coated in polymer which guarantees higher protection
