Product Description
NLINE BRIX MONITOR DCM-20 WITH HYGIENIC PROCESS CONNECTIONS
- Define liquid product interfaces in beverage and dairy products filling lines.
- Achieve and ensure product quality in sugar dissolving, juice blending and jam vessels.
- Correlate membrane filtration efficiency of protein and whey separation in Ultra Filtration systems.
- Optimize steam feed in dairy evaporation processes.
Robust Hygienic DesignEngineered with SS 316L stainless steel and polished housing, the SS DCM-20 ensures long-term durability and hygiene, essential for beverage, food, and pharmaceutical process lines. It meets FDA and RoHS compliance standards for wet parts, supporting stringent industry requirements and clean-in-place (CIP/SIP) operations without compromising reliability.
Advanced Sensing and Data CommunicationEquipped with a high-precision refractive index sensor, the transmitter delivers rapid measurements (response time <2 seconds) and supports both analog (4-20 mA) and digital (RS485 Modbus) signals for seamless process integration. Optional data logging extends process traceability and quality assurance, enhancing operational efficiency.
Flexible Installation and OperationThe SS DCM-20's inline Tri-Clamp mounting, optional flange, and compact footprint (max height 220 mm) ensure easy integration into existing lines. Its digital LED display provides local monitoring, while automatic control mode, simple calibration options, and multiple cable entries (PG9/PG13.5) make setup and maintenance straightforward.
FAQ's of SS DCM-20 Inline Brix Transmitter:
Q: How does the SS DCM-20 Inline Brix Transmitter measure sugar content in liquids?
A: The device uses a refractive index sensor to determine the Brix value, representing sugar concentration in real time. As liquid flows through the inline unit, changes in refractive index are converted into precise digital Brix readings displayed locally and available via output interfaces.
Q: What methods are available for calibrating the transmitter, and how often is calibration necessary?
A: Calibration can be performed either manually through the onboard controls or automatically using reference solutions. The recommended calibration frequency depends on process requirements and system stability, but regular scheduled checks ensure optimal accuracy and compliance with quality standards.
Q: In which industries and applications can the SS DCM-20 be installed?
A: Designed for use in beverage, food, and pharmaceutical processing, the transmitter is ideal for continuous inline monitoring of sugar concentration (Brix) in production lines, ensuring consistent product quality and process control.
Q: Where can this transmitter be mounted within a process system?
A: It is installed inline via a Tri-Clamp connection or optional flange, typically at points in the process stream where real-time Brix monitoring is most beneficial, such as after mixing, dilution, or evaporation stages in liquid production lines.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this device in process automation?
A: Operators benefit from continuous, accurate Brix monitoring without manual sampling, improved product consistency, compliance with hygienic standards, CIP/SIP compatibility, and straightforward integration with existing control systems through versatile analog and digital interfaces.
Q: What is the recommended usage environment for the SS DCM-20?
A: The transmitter is rated for operation in environments with temperatures from 0C to 60C, humidity up to 95% RH (non-condensing), and pressures between 1-10 bar, making it suited for industrial liquid processing conditions.
