SONO WZ the Water/Cement Analyzer for Fresh Concrete from IMKO

The term innovation is derived from the Latin “innovare”: “to renew”. But just renewing or developing is useless if it serves no other / higher purpose. This way innovation means more:

One of our success stories is that our SONO-W/Z won the innovation award at BAUMA in 2016. With that the product became noticed in the industry. But we always had more in mind with this instrument and improved our "baby" continuously over the last years. Succesfully attracting a great community of customers, selling more instruments and helping our customers to get their job done right converts ideas into innovations: more reliable, with more precision in more countries.

In the construction sector, SONO WZ shows how mobile TDR measurement technology can contribute to quality assurance on the construction site. Monitoring fresh concrete quality is particularly relevant: dense urban development, demanding high-rise projects, and the use of different raw material sources introduce high demands on water content control.

Among the approved testing methods, the TDR penetration method stands out thanks to its particularly short measurement time of around two minutes and its large measurement volume. This allows every truck mixer to be tested directly during unloading, without the detour via a concrete laboratory.

With the new wireless version of SONO WZ, this solution is being further digitalized. In the future, measured values can be documented with time and location stamps and integrated into cloud-based processes, an important step toward smart construction and complete quality assurance.
