Hydronix launch Thermo-Tuff sensor

New low-cost, fast response temperature sensor for aggregate bins and concrete mixers 

HYDRONIX have added the rugged, compact and self-contained Thermo-Tuff temperature sensor to their product range. Designed to be used in the harshest of environments, such as concrete mixers and aggregate bins, the Thermo-Tuff is said to be the fastest, most durable temperature sensor in the world.

The low-cost sensor takes advantage of high-speed, high-accuracy electronics, thermally isolated from their surroundings, to achieve the fastest possible temperature response. The special electronic design also allows two-wire current loop connection with a linear output over a range of 0 to 80 degrees C.

The device is easy to install with a choice of fixing options, including a mounting collar for mixers and an extension mounting sleeve for aggregate bins, while its 4–20mA linear output allows for easy connection to all control systems.

With greater accuracy and speed of measurement, the Thermo-Tuff provides a low-cost solution to temperature measurement, providing highly accurate batch-by-batch readings as well as the ability to precisely control the temperature of aggregates and concrete in real time with the aim of reducing waste, lowering cost and increasing product quality.
