The Hydro-Control VI is a multiple language, touch screen, water control system from Hydronix. It is typically used in the concrete industry for controlling the mix cycle to automatically provide the correct addition of water in the shortest possible mixing time.
The Hydro-Control VI is a stand alone unit that can be connected to a batch control system to easily enable the transfer of mix cycle information. With features such as automatic receipe selection and a colour touch screen display the unit was designed for simplicity of use and integration into existing control systems.
Using the reading from a Hydro-Mix or Hydro-Probe Orbiter sensor installed inside a mixer, the unit accurately and continuously monitors, displays and adjusts the moisture levels of the material throughout the mix cycle. Using known recipes, the Hydro-Control VI automatically calculates and adds the correct amount of water to the mix. This ensures that the required moisture target can be easily achieved, batch after batch.
The unit has been designed as a direct replacement for the Hydro-Control V to provide an easy upgrade path with minimum disruption to production. With a choice of water addition modes the Hydro-Control VI is the most versatile stand alone moisture control system available.
