Description

Originally supplied to the concrete industry, Hydronix Hydro-Probe Orbiter Digital Moisture Sensors can also be mounted as a static sensor underneath a bin or above a belt conveyor and are easily adaptable for use in other industries such as sand, aggregates, cereal, animal feed, and fish meal.

Hydro-Probe Orbiter digital moisture sensors consist of two parts: the head unit which houses the electronics and connections and the sensing arm with a hard wearing ceramic. Both the sensing arm and the head unit can be easily changed eliminating the need to replace the entire sensor. To extend the life of the Hydro-Probe Orbiter, the sensing arm should always be fitted with an arm guard and protection rings.
