Automatic System for Monitoring the Mixing of Conglomerates
First Claim
1. System for detecting the direction of rotation in mixers, the speed of rotation in mixers, the volume of concrete mix contained in the mixer and the plasticity of the concrete mix inside the mixer and for automatically identifying the mixer, characterized in that it has a sensor which is installed integrally with the mixer so as to rotate together therewith and which performs the functions mentioned, analysing the forces acting on the blade with which it is provided, during its interaction with the concrete mix existing inside the mixer, transmitting all this information to other terminal devices by means of a wireless communications system.

Abstract
The invention relates to an automatic system for monitoring the mixing of conglomerates. The inventive system can be used to monitor and measure the volume of a conglomerate, i.e. a concrete, mortar or other similar product, and the conditions in which the conglomerate is being mixed inside a mixer. The invention is characterised in that the system is provided with a sensor which rotates integrally with the mixer and which is fitted with a blade that is sensitive to the stresses exerted by the conglomerate thereon. The invention is also characterised in that the aforementioned information is transmitted to one or more terminals, by means of radio communication or other similar wireless communication means, for use in industrial processes.
