Innovative TDR Technology for the Construction Industry
For over 40 years, IMKO has developed specialized sensors that
surpass traditional measurement methods. The TRIME technology creates a defined measurement volume along the sensor, eliminating the need for recalibration due to surface abrasion. This ensures long-term accuracy and high reliability in demanding bulk solids environments.
Advantages of the SONO sensor series:
- Short measurement times for rapid process control
- High resistance to mechanical wear and abrasion
- Flexibility in mechanical integration with low material coverage
- Reliable data for w/c ratio determination
Quality Control from Material Delivery to Mixing
Monitoring begins at the point of delivery. Mobile solutions allow for the immediate assessment of aggregates like sand and gravel before they enter the process. This ensures that recipe adjustments can be made in real-time, preventing costly mixing errors and maintaining project schedules.
Precision Measurement during Dosing and Mixing Processes
Stationary SONO sensors facilitate moisture detection during the dosing of aggregates up to 32 mm grain size, whether under silo flaps or on conveyor belts. The technology is compatible with all standard mixer types, including pan, planetary, and twin-shaft mixers, providing stable data for both earth-moist and fluid concrete.
Seamless Integration and System Networking
The system is designed for user-friendly commissioning and networking. Using SONO CONNECT or SONO VIEW interfaces, operators can parameterize sensors, select calibrations, and analyze measurement data wirelessly or via wired displays.
- Wireless data transmission and graphical analysis
- Pre-installed calibrations for common aggregates
- Easy integration into existing plant control systems
- Exchangeable wear heads for increased cost-efficiency
