iPR Ex-Protection:
Process Refractometer

Schmidt + Haensch Process Refractometer

The process refractometer IPR EX is a modular system. The basic configuration consists of a measuring head and a controller. You can choose from 4 measuring ranges for highest precision. The controller has a free configurable LCD display, a keypad for data input, menu selection and programming and a serial interface RS232. Up to 3 sensor heads per controller are possible.

Features

  • Inline, real-time refractive index, Brix or concentration measurement to monitor and control the concentration of dissolved solids in solutions, or liquids in process
  • High Resolution: 0.000005 RI / 0.003 Brix
  • Stainless steel measuring head featuring a sapphire or YAG prism, CIP capability (pipe pigs usable)
  • Continuous measurement and real-time process control with analog and digital outputs, limit comparators and internal diagnostics
  • Programmable scales, Brix scale temperature corrected
 

Suitable for many applications in the food and sugar industry as well as chemical and effluent monitoring systems:
  • Determination of mixing ratio
  • Quality and concentration control of dissolved solids
  • Interface detection (product change)
  • Concentration and pollution of cutting oils and lubricants
  • Concentration and pollution of detergents

Mounting accessories:
VariVent (Tuchenhagen or costumer specified (CIP and pipe pig use)
Accessories:
Cleaning device for prism, paperless data recorder, Universal Controller
