MiniCapsule

Ultimate Flexibility in Process Diagnostics

Stop Guessing. Start Tracking. A portable, fully wireless sensor that can be dropped anywhere to measure temperature, conductivity, permittivity, motion, and vibration. Monitor your critical processes – from grain drying to complex mixing – directly from your smartphone.

The MiniCapsule takes PREDIT’s Intelligent Tomography out of fixed pipelines and brings it wherever you need it most. Whether it is thrown into a silo, suspended in a tank, or dropped into a mixing vat, the MiniCapsule delivers critical process data instantly.

Equipped with advanced sensors, it measures temperature, conductivity, and permittivity, making it an incredibly powerful tool for monitoring moisture levels, drying processes (like grain), and material composition. Additionally, a built-in gyroscope and accelerometer track movement, orientation, and vibration, offering deep insights into agitation and mixing efficiency.


MiniCapsule

The MiniCapsule is an intelligent, two-electrode sensor engineered for extreme versatility. 

Designed to withstand all possible process temperatures, pressures, and chemical compositions, it can be dropped anywhere—from deep separators to active agglomeration drums—to measure interfaces, motion, and material properties.

MiniCapsule

Completely Wireless or Wire-Tethered

  1. Battery-Powered Freedom: The standard MiniCapsule operates fully on battery power. Just drop it in, and it starts measuring.
  2. Direct Mobile Communication: No need for complex control room setups. The capsule connects directly to your smartphone, allowing you to read real-time data anywhere on the site.
  3. Optional Wired Connection: For continuous, long-term monitoring where retrieving the capsule is difficult, it can be equipped with a thin tethering cable connected directly to the MIRA unit.
  4. Hermetically Sealed & Robust: Nothing gets inside. Built to withstand extreme pressures, high temperatures, and aggressive chemicals.

Examples of Limitless Application Potential

Cement Truck & Transit Mixing (Construction & Logistics): Throw the MiniCapsule directly into a cement truck or any tanker truck. Monitor the temperature, viscosity, and mixing dynamics of concrete or other materials in real-time during transit, ensuring optimal quality before it even reaches the site.

Heap Leaching Agglomeration (Mining & Metallurgy): Throw the MiniCapsule directly into the rotating agglomeration drum. The built-in gyroscope and accelerometer precisely track the tumbling dynamics and rotation, while conductivity and permittivity sensors monitor moisture levels with temperature and binder distribution in real-time. Ensure optimal agglomerate quality and stability for your leach pads without ever stopping the drum.

Moisture & Drying Monitoring (Grain & Agriculture): By measuring permittivity and conductivity, the MiniCapsule accurately tracks the moisture content of grain in silos or dryers. Optimize energy use and prevent spoilage by knowing exactly when the drying process is complete.

Mixing & Agitation Profiling: Drop the capsule into industrial mixers or vats. The built-in gyroscope and vibration sensors monitor the turbulence and flow patterns, while electrical measurements confirm when a mixture has reached perfect homogeneity.

Curing & Solidification Processes: Monitor concrete, resins, or other materials as they cure. Changes in conductivity and permittivity clearly indicate the state of chemical reactions and solidification in real-time.

Fermentation & Bioprocesses: Track the progression of fermentation in breweries or biopharma. The capsule monitors liquid composition changes and detects foaming or gas formation without the need for fixed probes.

Mobile Tank & Logistics Tracking: Place a MiniCapsule inside transport tanks to monitor the condition, temperature, and agitation of sensitive chemicals or food products during transit.

Heavy-Duty Interface Profiling: Scan vertical interfaces in large production vessels, separators, and tanks by moving the capsule through the layers to map emulsions and heavy foams.
