Anderson-Negele ITM-4
Four-beam Turbidity Meter | Food, Beverage and Dairy
Turbidity Sensors
We offer Turbidity measurement for very low turbidities in pipes from DN25
- Active phase separation also for media with low turbidity from 0 to 5000 NTU.
- Glass-free sapphire optics with pollution compensation.
- Compact device, no separate evaluation unit necessary.
- For increased efficiency in production processes such as separator automation, lauter tun control and filter monitoring.
- Reliable fresh and waste water control.
- Units NTU and EBC switchable (11 ranges per unit).
- 4 free selectable and externally switchable measurement ranges.
- Smallest measurement range 0…5 NTU resp. 0…1 EBC.
- Highest measurement range 0…5000 NTU resp. 0…1250 EBC.
- Colour independent measurement principle (wave length 860 nm).
- 3-A certificate with process connection Tri-Clamp and hygienic thread connection.
The benchmark for turbidity control
With its very high sensitivity and a response time of <1 sec. the ITM-4 Four-beam turbidimeter it detects and signals any variation immediately.
This offers significant advantages in many applications:
- Phase separation: immediate detection of transitions of different products, e.g. skimmed milk to whole milk; shorter transition phases without time buffer mean less product loss and thus cost savings.
- Filter monitoring: Immediate reporting of possible malfunctions for reliable quality management.
- Water control: monitoring of water and wastewater.
- Damage prevention: Reliable protection against incorrect transfer of media, e.g. of product into the cooling circuit.
- Process automation: Continuous in-line monitoring eliminates the need for manual sampling and visual inspection, providing highly accurate compliance with specifications.
Advantages of ITM-4
- Permanent precision: The colour-independent measurement (860 nm) with 2 transmitters and 2 receivers (90° scattered light and 180° transmitted light) ensures reliable measurement results irrespective of the influence of solids or air bubbles. Contamination on the sapphire optics is automatically compensated.
- Highly accurate, application-specific measurement: Resolution and measuring range can be selected for easy adaptation to media and processes.
- Simple installation, commissioning and operation: Nominal pipe widths from DN 25 with various process connections and the complete fitting made of stainless steel ensure trouble-free and durable operation.
Applications
- Breweries: lauter tun control, CIP systems, filter monitoring, yeast harvesting, separator control, water and waste water control.
- Dairies: Phase separation during media change (e.g. milk-water), CIP systems, separator control, cooling system monitoring, water / wastewater control.
- Juice or wine production: quality monitoring, filter monitoring, water and wastewater control.
- Mineral water / soft drinks: process control during bottling, water and waste water control.
