Rotating shear force transmitter for fiber consistency from 1 – 16%

The MEK-30000 TwinTorque^TM inline transmitter measures fiber consistency of pulp suspensions in the range of 1 – 16%. This rotating shear force transmitter works practically in every measuring position in pulping, bleaching and papermaking applications.

• Low investment and lifecycle costs
• Faster results than by conventional blade transmitters
• It is pre-calibrated, durable, reliable and universally useable
• Insensitive to fiber composition, freeness, fillers, flow, air content or pressure
• For closed loop consistency control

Benefits

• Fiber consistency measurement from 1 to 16%
• Applicable in the blow line after digester, in screening and washing stages, bleach plant till machine chest
• Closed loop consistency control
• Can be installed in 200 mm pipes without a vessel
• Its predecessor (MEK-2500) 3-phase motor  was exchanged for a standard electrical connection of 100 – 240 +10% VAC, 50/ 60 Hz

Specifications

The sensor is intended for inline installation into pulp- and papermaking process lines through a weld-in stud. It is rated for voltages of 100 – 240 VAC at 50 Hz / 60 Hz.
