Hydronix Hydro-Probe XT HPXT02

Description

The Hydro-Probe XT by Hydronix is a high-precision digital microwave moisture sensor engineered for continuous use in demanding industrial environments. Designed specifically for organic and agricultural materials, it accurately measures moisture in flowing products including grain, feed, nuts, pulses, oils, and granules.
According to the datasheet, the sensor utilizes Hydronix’s advanced digital measurement technique, capturing both amplitude and frequency changes for superior linearity and precision over a wide moisture range. This allows it to provide up to 25 moisture readings per second, ensuring rapid response and stable results even with varying material types.

Fully temperature-compensated, the Hydro-Probe XT supports multiple measurement modes that can be configured to suit different applications. It integrates easily into both new and existing automation systems through RS485 digital communication, dual 4–20 mA outputs, and configurable digital I/O. Calibration data is stored internally, eliminating the need for frequent recalibration unless measuring new materials.

Constructed with a stainless steel body and ceramic faceplate, the sensor is built for durability. Installation options shown in the datasheet include bins, silos, and conveyors, ensuring optimal exposure to flowing material for highly representative measurements. Its performance remains unaffected by dust or color, making it reliable across a wide range of industrial processes.

The Hydro-Probe XT is used in:

• Concrete plants

• Aggregates

• Sand processing

• Asphalt production

• Food processing

• Grain & feed mills

It measures:

• Moisture

• Temperature

• Material density changes

It gives real-time moisture data so the system can control water addition and maintain product quality.
