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.

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.

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.
