Recently, BTG introduced new mounting devices for its well-known shear force consistency transmitter, MEK-3000 TwinTorque. With a small mounting saddle and also an adapter flange for existing installations it is now possible to take full advantage of the MEK-3000's performance, which includes:Tight process control through superior measurement precision; fast response and short dead time reliability of its measuring principle, making it ultra-versatile and universal; attractive installation cost due to single-phase power supply; low maintenance - combining a robust construction with a minimum number of wearing parts; elaborate diagnostics to make troubleshooting easy; and suitable as replacement system, since it adapts easily to existing MEK installations.The MEK-3000 is suitable for use in all parts of the pulp and papermaking process when it comes to measurements of consistencies in the range of one to 16 percent.Due to its improved sensitivity the MEK-3000 measures the torque accurately – independent of the size of the sensing element. The new mounting devices support the trend to smaller size of the total installation – sensor and mounting device – which brings about more installation flexibility. The minimized set-up also reduces the need for a measuring vessel.
