About Sensor Control
SENSOR CONTROL GmbH, headquartered in Neuwied, develops and manufactures sensors, measurement systems and automation solutions for the foundry, ceramics and bulk solids industries. The portfolio comprises capacitive moisture sensors in wedge-shaped (SC 7100), rod-shaped (SC 7200) and round (SC 7800) designs for use on conveyor belts, in silos, containers and mixers, as well as temperature probes with PT100 elements for bulk solids (TF 6-100, TF 6-200). In addition, the company supplies automatic moisture control and dosing systems for sand preparation (FRS-A, FRS-T, FRS-K, FRS-M), automatic sand testing systems (SPC), pneumatic binder injection (BMI), water and steam dosing units (Novatronic), conveyor belt scales, laboratory equipment and plastometers for the ceramics industry. The sensors are manufactured in various wear-resistant materials such as Teflon, low-wear plastic, solid ceramics, glass-fiber-reinforced Teflon and abrasion-resistant special rubber. Alongside its product range, the company offers engineering and control systems for complete preparation processes.
