The Apollo screed temperature sensor (part numbers RM54722087 and RM54435011) is a critical component in modern asphalt paving operations. Designed to measure the temperature of asphalt material directly at the screed, this sensor ensures optimal paving performance by providing real-time thermal feedback.

• Direct temperature measurement at the point of material placement
• Signal transmission to the paver's control system for operator feedback
• Durability in high-heat environments, ensuring consistent performance
• Compatibility with various asphalt paver models

Built for harsh paving conditions, the Apollo screed sensor features:

• Robust housing resistant to thermal expansion and mechanical stress
• High-sensitivity thermocouple or RTD element for reliable readings
• Sealed connectors to prevent moisture and dust ingress
• Optimized probe design for minimal response time

The difference between RM54722087 and RM54435011 typically lies in connector types, mounting configurations, or compatibility with specific paver brands.

For optimal performance, the sensor must be:

• Properly mounted near the screed's exit point to capture true mat temperature
• Securely wired to avoid signal interference from engine vibrations or electrical noise
• Periodically checked for buildup of asphalt residue, which can affect readings

The Apollo temperature sensor is used in:

• Road construction - Ensures smooth, durable pavement surfaces
• Airfield paving - Meets strict temperature requirements for runway durability
• Parking lot and municipal projects - Maintains consistency in smaller-scale paving
