Hydro-Mix XT Skid Installation Guide HD0927 Rev: 1.0.0   11 

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.
