What Rhosonics does
Rhosonics Analytical B.V. is a privately held Dutch industrial-instrumentation company headquartered in Putten, Netherlands, founded in 1992. The company designs, manufactures, and supplies non-nuclear ultrasonic in-line analyzers that measure density, total suspended solids (TSS), total dissolved solids (TDS), and chemical concentrations in real time within slurries and process liquids. Its core technology uses acoustic impedance principles for continuous, non-intrusive measurement, eliminating the regulatory, safety, and licensing burden of radiation-based density gauges. The product portfolio is organized into three families: the SDM ECO Slurry Density Meter for mineral slurries; the CDM 9670/9680 Chemical Density Meters for chemical-based slurries and liquors; and the CCM Series (CCM 8500, CCM 9500, CCM B30, CCM COD, CCM 9580, CCM 9585) for multi-chemical concentration measurement in semiconductor, flat-panel display, copper foil, pulp and paper, and brewery wastewater applications. Hardware is complemented by pipe integration accessories (UFTC spool pieces, UWC/UFTW wafers, UTP tank sensors, UHP insertion probes) and supported by commissioning, troubleshooting, and the Rhosonics Academy training platform.
Rhosonics serves enterprise customers across mining and mineral processing (OCP Group, Agnico Eagle Meadowbank, Grupo Mexico, Rio Tinto Gove, Weir Minerals), ore refining, dredging, tunneling, water and wastewater treatment, pulp and paper, semiconductor manufacturing, flat-panel display production, copper foil production, chemicals, and roof-tile manufacturing. Select end-customer logos disclosed include Sandvik, Freeport-McMoRan, Northern Star, Vale, Harmony, Pan American Silver, Tianma, BOE, TCL, ICL, AlliedGold, Vinacomin, Nanya, and Visionox. The go-to-market blends direct enterprise field sales (Area Sales Managers, a Business Development Manager) with a global network of specialized regional distributors covering Europe, North America, Latin America, Asia, Oceania, the Middle East and Africa, and the CIS. Rhosonics is ISO 9001:2015 certified (since 2010) by DEKRA; pricing is quote-based and tailored per configuration, with multi-year hardware and service contracts.
The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investor or parent entity, and no funding rounds are on record. Rhosonics' 30+ year operating history, sustained product evolution (most recently the SDM ECO launched in November 2023), and a 2025-2026 events calendar spanning SEMICON Korea, InterBattery, Mining Indaba, Euro Mine Expo, Caspian Oil & Gas, Exponor, Exposibram, Electra Mining Expo, and others indicate a continued offensive push into battery materials, semiconductor adjacencies, and emerging mining geographies.

Rhosonics product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Rhosonics designs, produces, and supplies ultrasonic sensors and analyzers for real-time inline measurement of slurry density and chemical concentration in industrial process fluids. The portfolio includes the SDM ECO (Slurry Density Meter), CDM Series (Chemical Density Meters), and CCM Series (Chemical Concentration Meters), complemented by pipe integration accessories and the Rhosonics Academy training platform. Core technology replaces radiation-based density gauges with non-nuclear ultrasonic measurement for industries such as mining, dredging, semiconductors, and chemical processing.
Product overview
Rhosonics develops a portfolio of three main categories of ultrasonic analyzers for industrial process measurement: the SDM ECO (Slurry Density Meter) for real-time density measurement of mineral slurries in mining and dredging applications; the CDM Series (Chemical Density Meters) including CDM 9670 and CDM 9680 for measuring density, TSS, and TDS of chemical-based slurries and liquors; and the CCM Series (Chemical Concentration Meters) including CCM 8500, CCM 9500, CCM B30, CCM COD, and CCM 9585 for measuring chemical concentrations in various industrial processes. These products are complemented by pipe integration accessories (wafers, spool-pieces, tank sensors) and the Rhosonics Academy training platform. The SDM ECO is the flagship product released in November 2023, representing an upgrade from the SDM-4 with improved accuracy and connectivity options.
