Noncontact measurements from Berthold find application in both coal-fired and biomass power plants. Using our sophisticated online moisture analyzers our customers gain real-time information on the raw material moisture and are therefore able to improve the boiler efficiency. Additional information about the burning process is provided by our carbon in fly ash analyzers. To better control the flue gas treatment, we offer carbon in fly ash analyzers of milk of lime or density measurement of gypsum suspension. We also provide robust and non-contacting bulk flow meters monitoring how much material is fed into the boiler. This is the only way to ensure a controlled supply of fuel, which ultimately leads to a lower consumption of raw material. Radiometric level measurements or switches are part of our product range as well.

It enables precise level measurement, early detection of cyclone blockages in the preheater, accurate bulk flow monitoring on conveyor belts, and effective moisture measurement – even under harsh operating conditions.

The modular system for our filter units is supplemented by metal filter elements. These are available in lengths of up to 900 mm. Existing systems can also be easily converted using the same screw thread in the filter plate. The metal elements are particularly suitable for high temperatures of up to 500 °C. They can be almost completely regenerated to their new state using a water bath or ultrasonic bath. The fineness of the filter fabric is adapted to the application. The metal fabric can be selected with a mesh size of up to 2 µm.

Production requirements in the powder industry are becoming increasingly strict. Whereas initially, a dosing accuracy of 100 grams was sufficient for processing bulk materials, the demand came for a much more accurate dosing system. In response to this demand, our engineering department has developed a Micro Dosing System with an accuracy of 1 gram.

The micro feeders in the DosWeigh series are gravimetric dosing scales that are particularly suitable for the controlled addition of fine-grained bulk materials. The DosWeigh achieves a very high discharge accuracy of < +/- 0.5 %. The dosing weigher weighs the materials continuously or in batches and is used for small and medium dosing capacities of 1 to 3,000 litres per hour. +++ The DosWeigh BELT uses a conveyor belt instead of a dosing screw. +++ Application: - For precise weighing and dosing of fine-grained bulk materials such as powders and granulates, especially for abrasive or fragile bulk materials - Continuous or in batches - For small and medium dosing capacities from 1 l/h Advantages: 1. high reliability and low maintenance cycles The stable mechanics of the micro feeder and the optimised coordination of the loosening unit and discharge unit guarantee high reliability and low maintenance cycles. 2. very high discharge accuracy With the ModWeigh DI weighing electronics, the DosWeigh realises precise differential weighing, i.e. material is discharged continuously, even while the container is being filled. 3. precise and long-term stable dosing 4. good price-performance ratio

Thanks to its modular design, MICRODEX™ can be seamlessly integrated into a wide variety of production processes, significantly reducing residual quantities compared to conventional dosing screws. The compact design allows for easy installation and intuitive operation. Smooth, joint-free inner surfaces ensure quick and thorough cleaning – ideal even for highly sensitive applications such as the production of baby food. For maximum flexibility, MICRODEX™ can be equipped with an additional fine dosing screw at the outlet. This allows both larger production quantities to be handled efficiently and precise, reproducible micro-quantities to be dosed. This unique dual function increases productivity, reduces waste and optimises process control in the long term.

The compact 80GHz Micropilot FMR10B, FMR20B, and FMR30B radar sensors simplify your level measurement and increase your process efficiency. Guided operating assistants (so-called &quot;wizards&quot;) enable easy commissioning in less than three minutes. The device can be easily operated remotely via smartphone or tablet, or via the color touchscreen display. Heartbeat Technology reduces process interruptions and increases productivity.

MIC FlowMeter The MIC Microwave Measuring System consists of a sensor head with stainless steel pipe and an evaluation electronic control unit. To mount the equipment a hole for the integral brackets is first drilled in the conduit. The sensor is installed flush with the wall and therefore is wear-free.

Microwave Moisture Measuring Sensors with corresponding evaluation system for the bulk material industry. For the control of additional water, weighing and drying processes in batches in mix, granulating, and fine grinding processes for optimization and control in bins, silos and mixers.

4B's Milli-Temp, a loop powered analogue sensor with a 4-20 mA linear output that is scaled across a temperature range for continuous temperature monitoring - is now also available as an ATEX-certified version. The Milli-Temp series can be used on any application where bearing temperature monitoring is needed. The sensor has been designed to allow the depth of the probe to be adjustable depending on the application. This adjustability allows the tip of the probe to be placed in the optimal position for monitoring bearing temperature and also enables verification using the 4B ADB Tester. The sensor screws directly into the bearing housing using the threads of the existing grease zerk. The body of the Milli-Temp has an integrated zerk, allowing lubrication of the bearing without the need to remove the sensor. The sensors are supplied with a 3m cable. The connections are not polarity sensitive therefore special connection requirements are eliminated, and the cable can be extended in the field. Product Highlights • One Body Design - provides a 4-20 mA output provided directly from the sensor, eliminating the need for an external transmitter • Rated to -40 Degrees • Small Probe Diameter Allows Easy Grease Flow • Probe lengths 50mm, 75mm, 100mm, 150mm, 200mm • Approved for explosive atmospheres: • ATEX and IECEx Zones 20, 21 & 22 for dust

Our mini filters are the solution to your problem. They are used, for example, to filter the displacement air of a differential dosing scale. There is often little space for a dedusting filter here. However, the displaced air must be able to escape unimpeded and filtered so that a correct weighing result can be delivered. Our mini filters allow the process air to escape without any problems. The filter element is regenerated from time to time by compressed air pulses. The mini filters are compact in design and can be inserted into a container with the filter cartridge or attached with an extra pipe. A small integrated valve tank supplies the filter with compressed air, allowing the filter cartridge to be continuously regenerated. For filtering suspended solids, a polyester filter medium of filter class H13 can be selected. Naturally, it is conductive and suitable for use in explosive atmospheres. The mini filters are attached using a clamp connection, allowing the filter cartridge to be replaced without tools. Two sizes are available: The filter module with a diameter of 160 mm and a housing height of 130 mm including the solenoid valve is attached with a DN125 Tri Clamp® connection. The two-way-filter with a diameter of 100 mm and a housing height of 160 mm including solenoid valve is attached with a DN65 Tri Clamp® connection. The mini filters are designed for pressures up to 12 bar and are suitable for use as pressure shock-resistant protection in potentially explosive areas of dust zone 20 with a suitable clamping connection. With our filter control unit, the solenoid valve can be controlled for the regeneration of the filter surface, and the pressure difference before and after the filter can be monitored. In highly sensitive areas such as the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, our minis can ensure maximum process safety as additional police filters. Optionally they are expandable by activated carbon (e. g. for filtering aromatics).

PUCEST®mixing instruments … for almost every mixer, in almost every position Common problems with pan-type mixer: - insufficient mix results - long phase of emptying - material residues stay in the mixer - long mixing time/ longer charging time of transport - redundant mixing time wastes energy/current Pan-type mixer problems „ blading“ - every set of mixing instruments requires many different models of blades and parts (depending on producer, mixer type and model year, these parts also differ from each with type, fixing, function, wear performance) - often wrong blades can be installed - provisioning/ inventory control for many different parts requires costs and is expensive. - wrong ordering of blades, the mixture is turned more like „carrousel“, as it is mixed up The solution: PUCEST® mixing instruments Successfully retooled mixers to PUCEST® mixing instruments with right blade ordering.
