iPR HR: High Resolution
Process Refractometer

Schmidt + Haensch Process Refractometer

The new iPR High Resolution (iPR-HR) from the established inline Process Refractometer iPR-series of SCHMIDT+HAENSCH has an amazing high resolution This instrument is specially designed to meet particular requirements for higher accuracy in applications like pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, wellness drinks and more

Additional communication skills can be added to the new generation of iPR HR measuring head using the Data Logger. The process sensors can visualize the measuring results as a single solution Data Logger. It can be used as a fully autonomous sensor or connected directly to a supervisory process control system or to the Universal Controller.

The new generation of iPR HR measuring heads also allows the possibility to construct an intelligent sensor station which may consist of several refractometers, turbidity measuring devices and CO2 sensors. The Universal Controller can also be used as a control desk for other process sensors e.g. O2 , CO2 , pH or conductivity. This special kind of characteristic in the communication opens valuable economical advantages for customers, because a separate display or special configuration is not needed for each sensor.
