Fast weighing results under almost any installation conditions Now the weighing and metrology experts at Sartorius have expanded the Combics family to include the high-resolution CH Series of industrial scales, with weighing capacities from 16 to 300 kg. Built with monolithic weigh cells, these new models have weighing platforms that deliver a resolution of up to 340,000 digits. For example, a scale with a capacity of 34 kg has a readability of 0.1 g. With short stabilization times, low sensitivity to vibration and electronically compensated preload without reduction of the weighing capacity, this series guarantees fast weighing results under almost any installation conditions. Moreover, the built-in motorized calibration weight makes the scale ideal for integration in GMP/GLP certified production processes. It provides fast and reliable weight values even under conditions that require dust and water protection up to the levels of IP65 or IP67. Just like other members of the Combics family, CH components are easy to configure…

Fast, reliable and non-destructive moisture analysis with an optical analyzer With the new LMA500 from Sartorius, there is an optical moisture analyzer on the market whose appeal lies not only in speed and accuracy but also in its user-friendly calibration functions. Any lab technician can perform base calibrations as well as expansive recalibrations and batch adjustments, thus making it possible to react to changes in sample characteristics with speed and precision. The main areas of use for the new moisture analyzer model are in at-line process control and in the laboratory. Thanks to near-infrared (NIR) technology, the equipment operator knows the moisture content of a sample within seconds and can adapt the production process right away, directly beside the production line, in accordance with the results of measurement. This not only boosts process reliability and efficiency, it also saves valuable time. The LMA500 is ideal for all analysis procedures on coarse and fine pourable products, and can analyze samples with a moisture content…

Sartorius PMD300 Since most moisture analyzers only conduct random spot checks, Sartorius designed the PMD300 moisture analyzer series especially for online analysis. These new machines provide the user with a complete overview of the current state of a production process or the state of a batch. Thanks to the use of microwave resonance technology, the user continuously receives the moisture content of his material within less than a second. Using this information, he can immediately adjust his process to the measurement results. The analysis is independent of matrix properties like product color or density. As a result, different batches can be analyzed without recalibrating, which is a tremendous advantage for natural products. Online analysis means that entire batches are measured continuously and precisely. Thanks to the continuous, precise moisture analysis and the resulting increase in process safety that this machine offers, the PMD300 Online Moisture Analyzer will pay for…

Sartorius presents: new products for connecting weighing components over Ethernet Connecting components in Ethernet networks is a seminal topic in the process industry, bringing the vision of a universal data transfer method within a company one step closer to reality. This theme is already being addressed by Sartorius today presentating two new products: the X3 process indicator and the PR5220 process transmitter. A special highlight of both instruments is their convenient, state-of-the-art connectivity for Ethernet networks. The standard Ethernet TCP/IP interface enables trouble-free integration in existing computer networks. Basic transmission of weight values, process status messages or other information over a network is fast and easy. For identification of scales within the networks, the X3 and PR5220 are assigned names and IP addresses. Configuration of these new instruments is remarkably uncomplicated. When the product`s IP address is entered in a browser, such as the Microsoft Internet Explorer, the product`s own home page opens…

Recipe management with Sartorius ProBatch+ The Sartorius ProBatch+ software offers a variety of functions for managing raw materials, creating recipes, preparing and starting production runs, generating and saving reports – in short: it ensures efficient monitoring and control of batching processes. With this powerful system, users can perform simple applications using just a single scale and also larger process automation tasks with up to 16 production lines operating in parallel and with up to 16 automatic process vessel or hopper scales. All scales run in parallel and can be operated and monitored simultaneously. Flexible connection of Sartorius ProBatch+ to the X-Family or other process logic controllers, such as Siemens S7, guarantee the highest precision and reliability of processes. The Windowsâ user interface in ProBatch+ makes it easy for users to create recipes. Batch and special process steps, such as mixing, heating and cooling, etc., are entered in the recipes. At the end of…

A wide range of options Users can choose from three application levels, a variety of resolutions, a large selection of interfaces and other options. This adaptability makes Signum ideal for virtually any use, from simple weighing to demanding applications. The display and control unit can be set up within minutes for optimum ergonomical use – whether next to the weighing platform, on a column, or mounted on the wall. Optional interfaces Optional interfaces meet all the requirements for state-of-the-art data transfer, including Ethernet and PLC connectivity. Any of the models in this series can be fitted with an optional analog/digital converter for a second weighing platform, such as a reference scale or bulk weigher. Overload protection Signum scales not only have high overload protection, they are also extremely rugged and resistant, and adapt well to virtually any conditions in industrial use. ATEX Signum scales are available for use in zone 2 and…
