Special Applications
in-tek Sensors & Systems currently discussed in this site specifically
relate to use within the food and beverage industry. However, alternative
uses of on-line infrared spectroscopy may also be available, especially
where IR measurement already plays a role in the laboratory.
Additionally, the in-tek IR Series may be configured to work in EXP-rated environments, be fitted with cooling coils for high temperature use or even have the measurement prism flange extended for use in deeply submerged installations.
Weights & Dimensions:
The cost of transporting new or repaired instrumentation should always
be considered at the purchase stage! The in-tek IR Series is extremely
small when compared to traditional by-pass systems and therefore transit
costs are likely to be significantly less!

The in-tek IR Series of on-line instrumentation comprise a single state-of-the-art sensor module and a self contained, water tight Sensor Control Module. Unlike traditional infrared spectrophotometers that use transmitted light, the adopted technique of Attenuated Total Reflection (ATR) requires source penetration of just a few microns to obtain accurate absorption results, allowing consolidation of all optical components in to a single stainless steel sanitary 3-A housing for direct mounting to the product line using industry standard Varinline® valve body assemblies.
On-line mounting eliminates difficult to clean bypass lines and negates the need for high maintenance pumps commonly associated with this type of measurement. Pre-determined narrow band-pass interference filters are critical to differentiate the sensor type within the series by matching the energy source to the absorption model of the chemical or product under test. The Sensor Control Module provides a simple user interface as well as connectivity to plant controllers or computers via Ethernet connection, with other industrial interface types such as multiple analogue 4-20mA current loops, EtherNet and Profibus available as optional extras.
The in-tek Drink is a solid-state-of-the-art beverage system that combines
three
Critical measurement parameters in to a single on-line sensor, providing
the soda manufacturer with accurate real-time results without the need
for a high maintenance, pump driven
and difficult to clean bypass stream.
The combination of °Brix, CO2 and Titratable Acid measurement facilitates single point analysis of sugar and artificial sweetener based product either as part of a filling machine product interface control loop or for end-point quality assurance verification when using optional PC software.
Installation, Commissioning
and After Sales Service
Close co-operation between the customer and supplier is the key to ensuring
trouble free installation and use. Right from the initial interest stage,
B+S Process Instruments works closely with the client to identify the correct
instrumentation for the job and provides ongoing installation and commissioning
advice. This side-by-side approach continues throughout the working life
of the equipment.
Being solid-state devices installed directly to the line, in-tek IR Sensors require little or no routine maintenance. However, in order to provide total peace of mind, B+S Process Instruments offer a number of after sales support packages either directly or through its network of authorised distributors. Service packages include extended warranty up to 5-years, 48 & 72-hour component replacement, on-site preventative maintenance, on-site performance verification and a 24-hour diagnostic and software support facility by way of GoToMeeting All service packages are subject to additional charges and may not be available in all geographical locations.
