AP® Bio-Dri Sensor Assembly with 20’ Cord

The AP® Bio-Dri Sensor Assembly with 20’ Cord is a specialized temperature-monitoring component designed for use with the AP Bio-Dri II System, which is widely used in the livestock industry—particularly in swine production—to heat and dry transport trailers and help prevent the spread of viruses such as PEDv and PRRS.

These sensors play a critical role in the Bio-Dri II system’s automated, high-temperature drying process, ensuring trailers reach and maintain the required temperatures after wash-down.

This process helps verify that trailers are properly dried and disinfected before reuse.

Key Details & Functions Purpose: Measures critical temperatures during the drying cycle, including trailer surface temperature and air or duct temperatures within the system.

Biosecurity Role: Confirms that trailers reach targeted high-temperature thresholds necessary to help eliminate harmful viruses.

System Integration: Works as part of the Bio-Dri II system, which records and logs cycle data for documentation and verification of the decontamination process.

Assembly Components: Includes the sensor head, mounting hardware for installation in the drying bay, and a 20-foot cord that connects to the main controller for flexible placement.

Sensor Types: Depending on the part number, the assembly may include an infrared (IR) temperature sensor for monitoring trailer surface temperatures or an RTD temperature sensor for monitoring air or duct temperatures.

The 20’ cord length allows the sensor to be positioned at optimal locations within the wash or drying bay while maintaining a reliable connection to the system controller, ensuring accurate temperature monitoring throughout the drying process.
