How to monitor compost windrows with long temperature probes?
Ever wondered how to monitor compost windrows temperature? Long compost temperature probes help you monitor the temperature deep inside any compost pile. For example, in a 3-meter-high compost window, you’d need about one meter of probe to monitor its temperature from the centre. This ensures you get accurate temperature readings throughout the windrow.
Short probes lack the depth needed to provide precise temperature readings for large compost windrows. Lacking enough temperature information could cause you to make mistakes when deciding the best time to turn the compost pile. This can make composting cost more and make the process slower.
Periskop long compost windrow monitoring probes are perfect for industrial composting. They come in one-meter and two-meter lengths, are completely wireless, and packed with useful features. In compliance with composting regulations across many countries, it’s recommended to monitor temperatures within compost windrows ranging from 70 cm to 150 cm in depth.
For windrows exceeding 3 meters in height, authorities require temperature measurements at the centre. For those managing large compost windrows (1-3 or 2-3) meters in industrial composting, Periskop long compost temperature probes with temperature alert application are the go-to solution, ensuring compliance with the guidelines and effective management of composting processes.
How do Periskop long compost temperature monitoring probes with an SMS alert system work?
- These probes are equipped with two temperature sensors, strategically positioned in the handle and at the bottom tip of the spike. Designed for convenience, the long stem temperature probes efficiently monitor the temperature of your compost windrows.
- This data is then seamlessly transmitted to the base station, that transmit data to a cloud base application
- Base stations transmit temperature data to a cloud base application, from where you can manage all of your composting process and set temperature alerts in case of abnormality. Compost temperature monitoring application enables you to generate data reports of the entire composting process.
