The Technology Behind Our SONO-VARIO® Sand Moisture Probe

Our SONO® Moisture Probes utilize patented TRIME® TDR technology. This technology penetrates deep into material volumes, providing highly accurate and consistent moisture readings. With over two decades of expertise, our Sand Moisture Probes are tailored to meet all your aggregate and fresh concrete measurement needs.

Customizable to Your Needs

The SONO-VARIO® Sand Moisture Probe is easily configurable to suit your specific application. Whether you require moisture measurement under a silo flap, inside a mixer, or on a conveyor belt, the SONO-VARIO® Sand Moisture Probe can be set to the appropriate operating mode. From single-value measurement to averaging, filtering, and more, you can fine-tune the probe’s functions directly within the sensor itself, thanks to the integrated high-capacity microprocessor.

Seamless Integration with Your SCADA or Control System

Our SONO® Sand Moisture Probes offer a variety of interface options to meet your data transfer requirements. Transfer parameters like moisture content, conductivity, and temperature directly into your PLC via two analog outputs (0-20 mA) or import them via an RS485 and IMP-Bus interface. Additionally, SONO® Sand Moisture Probes can be connected to a local PC (USB port) via the SM-USB module or the field display – SONO-VIEW, allowing you to adjust individual measuring parameters and conduct calibrations.

Applications Across Industries

SONO-VARIO® Sand Moisture Probes are versatile and find applications in various industries, including:

  • Installation in containers, hoppers, above conveyor belts, or in silos.
  • On-line installation, including below a clam-gate and on a weigh-belt.
  • Quarries and mines.
  • Concrete mixing plants (ready mix and pre-cast).
  • Bitumen industry.
