MATERIAL PROPERTIES For quality control and to measure material properties we offer a full range of testing instruments such as tensile testers, thickness meters, fibre analysing equipment etc. An important market for these instruments is the pulp, paper and packaging industry. We have a comprehensive catalogue available with information about all the possible tests for this industry. Bendtsen porosity and roughness Horizontal tensile tester Fibre Analyzer Sample preparation Vertical tensile tester Box compression tester Micrometer Testline for various measurements like colour, thickness, smoothness, roughness, tensile, base weight, moisture etc.
COLOUR MEASUREMENT Colour and colour perception are essential for many products. This is the case in the food, paper and chemical industries along with many others. We offer solutions for colour evaluation with our colour evaluation cabinets, handheld instruments, bench top instruments and on-line sensors. Benchtop spectrophotometer Our colour evaluation cabinets are used for judging the visual appearance of a product under different standardized lights. By looking at the products under the various standard lights we can evaluate the appearance in shops, offices and outside in daylight. Handheld instruments are ideal for quality control of products in a standardized way. By measuring with certified and standardized equipment, colour evaluation is no longer subjective. It makes it possible for product acceptance to be within defined tolerance limits. We supply various models for different applications. A bench top instrument can also be used for defining colour recipes. On-line colour sensors are ideal when a direct colour evaluation is required in the production process. These sensors measure real-time and make it possible to directly control the production process.

RADIATION MEASUREMENT Our radiation measurement instrumentation is used in various markets. In the recycling, environmental and metal industry our handheld meters and portal monitors are used to detect and search for radioactive sources and contaminations. Our instruments comply with all European regulations. Research institutes, hospitals, government and the nuclear industry are other important markets where our personal dosimeters, handheld meters, spectrometers and portals are used. For detecting radioactivity and accurate dose rate measurements we supply equipment for accurate, fast and reliable measurements. Spectrometers Source localizing Portal detectors Stationary spectrometers Handheld devices Radiation monitoring systems Personal dosimeters
MOISTURE NEAR INFRARED For moisture or dry substance determination of powders, granulates and solids, the NIR measurement technique is often the most practical method for fast analysis. This technique is based on the principle that a specific wavelength of infrared light is absorbed by water. Within seconds our laboratory and at-line instruments determine the moisture percentage of a product. Our on-line sensors measure directly real-time continuously and makes direct process control possible. In addition to moisture measurement, this technique is also capable of measuring for example fat/oil and protein levels in a product. The most common applications are found in the food, wood, paper, pharmaceutical and chemical industries, but in many other industries we have solutions when it comes to moisture measurement and control. Our systems are based on two different NIR techniques. The first one is a filter based technique where a pre-defined set of NIR filters are used to measure at fixed wavelengths. The second technique is a full spectrum measurement. We are able to advise which technique and instrument is the best solution for your application. For complete profile measurements over the width of a web we use a scanning system. The scanning system can carry sensors to measure moisture, base weight, ash, colour, opacity and formation. Scanner for web profile measurements Laboratory and at-line On-line process measurements
MOISTURE MICROWAVE For moisture measurement in liquids, a microwave or radio frequency technique is the best way to measure the concentration or dry substance. The microwave technique is based on the principle that microwaves are absorbed by water. This technique for concentration measurement is very suitable for liquids and slurries like milk, molasses, coffee solutions, creams etc. Microwave controller with various sensors RF sensor for slurries Handheld moisture sensor MOISTURE RADIO FREQUENCY Installation with both microwave and RF sensor The technique used for moisture measurement based on radio waves uses the principle that radio waves are damped and shifted in phase by different materials. This is due to the fact that every material has its own dielectric constant (electrical conductivity). This method is called RF (Radio Frequency) technique. We supply handheld meters, on-line and at-line process sensors. We also supply a system for measuring the complete moisture profile of boards. Applications for our radio frequency systems are found in producing building materials like gypsum boards, wood boards, fibre plates and also in the food industry (for example caramel).

REFRACTOMETERS Refractometers are a standard measurement method in the food industry. These instruments are being used to measure brix-value or sugar concentrations. Combined with our CO-2 analysers it is possible to supply complete beverage analyser systems. For on-line process measurement and control and for laboratory application, we have various models available. Brix, Alcohol and CO-2 analyzer Laboratory refractometer In-line refractometer Refractometer installation Diet drink analyzer Laboratory refractometer Contact information This brochure gives an overview of our possibilities. We are also always working on new developments. When you are looking for methods to improve or to guarantee your product or production process don t hesitate to contact us. Together we will discuss which measurement solution is best in your case and we advise you about the possibilities. M.C.
