Enhancing Concrete Truck Efficiency with SIKA induQ® Flow Sensors for Accurate Water and Admixture Control
The application report provides details about the use of SIKA induQ® magnetic-inductive flow sensors (VMZ08 and VMZ20) in volumetric mixers on concrete trucks. These trucks batch concrete on-site, reducing material waste and utilizing flow sensors for measuring water and admixtures, aiding in accurate ration control. The sensors, which have no moving parts, provide faster and more reliable measurements compared to turbine or vortex meters, especially in dynamic and pulsating flow conditions. The benefits include improved accuracy, low maintenance, and durability, with applications in both standard and volumetric concrete trucks.
