Page 11: Chapter 1 Introduction
Chapter 1 Introduction The Hydro-Mix XT Skid is a mounting device designed to enable a Hydro-Mix XT moisture sensor to ride over the surface of flowing material on a belt conveyor. Measurements are then taken by the flush mounted sensor as the material passes underneath. - Page 12 Introduction Chapter 1 Hydro-Mix XT Skid Installation Guide HD0927 Rev: 1.0.0...

Page 13: Chapter 2 Mechanical Installation
An area to the trailing edge of the Hydro-Mix XT Skid will need to be kept free from obstructions to enable samples to be taken (see page 20). -
Page 14: Assembly Of The Hydro-Mix Xt Skid
Chapter 2 3 Assembly of the Hydro-Mix XT Skid The Hydro-Mix XT Skid requires the user to assemble the system to match their requirements. The HMXT Skid Adjustment bars and the HMXT Skid M6 studs are pre-installed using Loctite 290 to ensure they are flush with the underside of the Sensor Plate. -
Page 15: Figure 4: Sensor Plate Setup
To ensure the Hydro-Mix XT can accurately detect the moisture, and to avoid damaged, the ceramic face plate must be flush with the underside of the Hydro-Mix XT Skid. To adjust the sensor, place the Hydro-Mix XT onto the mounting studs. Adjust the nuts on the mounting studs until the ceramic face is completely flush with the underside of the Sensor Plate. -
Page 16: Figure 6: Correct Sensor Adjustment
(recommended size: 50mm x 50mm). The Hydro-Mix XT Skid is attached to the square bar using the Mounting plate and Clamp Plate. The Hydro-Mix XT Skid must be installed so it faces the material flow. For correct operation, the Hydro-Mix XT Skid must be installed parallel to the conveyor belt. -
Page 17: Figure 8: Height Adjustment Range
Once mechanically installed as shown in Figure 7, the height of the Hydro-Skid should be adjusted so that the underside of the Hydro-Mix XT Skid is at least 50mm from the conveyor, this is achieved by adjusting the position of the mounting plate (Figure 8). The height adjustment range is shown in Figure 8. -
Page 18: Improving The Material Flow
Installing the Hydro-Mix XT Skid on an Angled Conveyor Belt The Hydro-Mix XT Skid can be installed on a conveyor belt that is running at an angle. It is recommended that the Hydro-Mix XT Skid is only operated at a maximum of 30°. -
Page 19: Figure 12: Material Levelling
Belt Extension Plate (Part number 5125) The Belt Extension Plate is designed to enable the Hydro-Mix XT Skid to be installed at the end of the conveyor belt (Figure 13). This type of installation is common at the output of a horizontal dryer where the length of the belt is very short. -
Page 20: Calibration Of The Sensor
The following are recommended to help maintain the Hydro-Mix XT Skid: • Visually inspect to confirm that the Hydro-Mix XT Skid is operating at the correct height, especially if the material on the conveyor belt has changed. Never allow the Hydro-Mix XT Skid to come into contact with the conveyor belt, as this will increase the wear on the underside. -
