Measurement & Monitoring
The new Parsum IPP-80 in-line particle
sizing probe: robust, trouble free
granulation monitoring
The new Parsum IPP-80 probe
from Malvern Instruments brings
easy to integrate inline particle size
measurement for efficient process
monitoring and control. Suitable
for powders, pellets and granules
the new probe enables the realtime monitoring of agglomeration, coating and granulation processes.
The resulting data provide a secure basis for pilot plant studies, process
optimization and control. A robust, sanitary design delivers long-running
operation with minimal attention and includes in-built self-diagnostic tools
that ensure data quality.
Heat Flux Measurements in the
Micro-watt range
greenTEG offers high-precision thermal sensors (gSKIN®) for process control
and maintenance. greenTEG’s sensors resolve heat flux in the Micro-Watt
range and detect temperature gradients down to Nano-Kelvins.
Applications: mass flow measurements, real-time detection of thermal
influences in high-precision instruments, non-invasive
temperature
measurement & profiling, as well as fouling & icing detection.
The gSKIN® heat flux sensors measure three types of heat fluxes: conduction,
convection, and thermal radiation. They generate an analog voltage signal
proportional to the heat flux. The signal can be read out and further processed
to monitor processes and conditions.

Loop-powered BL 540
isolator for easiest 20 mA
signal transmission
Hosokawa Micron Ltd’s latest, Machine to Machine
(M2M) Remote Monitoring initiative can help
manufacturers monitor industrial plant and equipment
to deliver production cost savings, improve product
quality and equipment performance and predict
potential equipment failure enabling timely and efficient
preventative maintenance.
For galvanically isolated 1:1 transmission of 4..20
mA standard signals, Knick provides the BL 540
isolator from its low-cost BasicLine series. By
reliably decoupling the field and control levels,
the device prevents system malfunctions.
‘This technology and the skills we can offer customers for improving
production are relevant to both Hosokawa equipment and that of other OEMs.
The expected customer benefits from improved remote condition monitoring
and support are faster resolution of problems, decreased equipment
downtime and more efficient operation of the plant and equipment,’ explains
Iain Crosley, Managing Director, Hosokawa Micron Ltd.
At a low 1.7 V voltage drop, the device needs
no auxiliary power supply but can be powered
through the loop – this results in the additional advantage of a much
reduced wiring effort. The isolator features a 0.2% full scale accuracy. One
and two-channel devices are available in a 6 mm DIN rail housing. BL 540
isolators are CE-compliant and UL-certified. Knick provides a three-year
warranty for the devices.

New Temperature
Sensor Series for
HVAC and Building
Technology

Profiling technology for
contact paste driers and
contact firing furnaces
with a very low clearance
The compact, innovative enclosure with protection class IP65/NEMA
4 facilitates easy and fast installation of the sensors. Due to external
mounting holes the sensors can be installed with closed housing, which
protects the device from building site contamination. The new temperature
sensors line matches the design of the successful E+E humidity, CO2 and
air velocity sensors. The result is a comprehensive HVAC sensor choice,
with a uniform look, from a single manufacturer.
The new Datapaq SolarPaq temperature profiling
system is a combined solution for photovoltaic cell
contact drying and firing processes. To ensure
efficient energy use, ovens and furnaces used in the solar/PV industry are
built with low entrance and exit heights. Consequently, in-process temperature
monitoring requires special technology. Datapaq has designed an ultrathin
logger (9 mm) and thermal barrier (16 mm) which can be used in all these
processes. The DQ1840 steel-cased logger, developed from the established Q18
line, performs the majority of profiling runs without extra thermal protection.
It withstands up to three minutes at up to 300 °C. For use in firing furnaces,
Datapaq supplies the TB7237 thermal barrier which provides protection at up to
800 °C for 45 s or at 400 °C for 4 min.
