Hygienic turbidity meter for the food and beverage industry

• Compact, hygienic design with integrated electronics and parametrisation display
• Elastomer-free sealing with an ingress protection of IP69K in a robust housing
• Fast reacting and comprehensive process monitoring

The NIR sensor of the TS x050 series is a 180° see-through sensor measuring absorption or turbidity in fluids in the near infrared range (880 nm wavelength). The sensor is installed in and/or on tanks or pipelines. The optical window of the sensor is submerged in the process medium in order to measure the physical properties by absorbing irradiated light.

The TS 1050 and TS 2050 are simple designed, low cost sensors with a turbidity scale between 0 to 100%. There are 3 OPLs (Optical Path Length) available:
5 mm, 10 mm and 20 mm / 0.2", 0.5" and 0.8", each for a different turbidity range. The TS 2050 additionally is used in manual or automatic quick-change fittings of the SENSOFIT family. There are only 2 OPLs available for the TS 2050: 5 mm and 10 mm / 0.2" and 0.5".

The NIR measuring systems TS 3050 and TS 4050 are used for monitoring the optical density or absorption of fluids in order to watch the process results continuously or to securely indicate changes. A logarithmic amplifier with only one OPL of
5 mm / 0.2" guarantees a very wide measuring range, which is about 4 times the size of the TS 1050 / 2050. The TS 4050 additionally is used in manual or automatic quick-change fittings of the SENSOFIT family.
