Measure liquid, solid, and pasty material with one system

Polytec’s spectrometer system is uniquely capable of measuring liquids, solids, and pasty materials with a single device, offering unmatched versatility for different industrial applications. Whether analyzing viscous liquids like oils, dry powders, or mixed consistency materials such as pastes, this all-in-one solution provides a seamless transition between various sample types. This capability is particularly beneficial for industries like food processing, agriculture, and pharmaceuticals, where diverse sample materials require precise and consistent analysis without the need for multiple instruments or setups.

Smallest dust-explosive proof sensors

Polytec's dust-explosive proof sensors, the smallest in their class, come with certifications for multiple countries, ensuring compliance with diverse safety regulations worldwide. These sensors are designed to be safely used in potentially hazardous environments where dust explosions are a concern, such as in milling, mining, starch, and other industries where powder is involved. The compact design allows for easy integration into existing systems, providing robust safety and high-performance analytics in dusty conditions. This makes Polytec's sensors a reliable choice for industries needing to comply with strict safety standards without compromising efficiency.

Multiplexer - monitor multiple production steps

Polytec's NIR spectrometers can be equipped with up to 6 probes thanks to the multiplexer technology. This allows the producer to use only one spectrometer to monitor multiple production steps. 

The Multiplexer enables efficient spectrometer-based analysis at multiple measurement points within a process, allowing for flexible integration with various probes. This setup is ideal for performing multiple evaluations simultaneously, reducing costs, and optimizing the efficiency of the measurement process. The multiplexer can handle multiple channels, making it versatile for different types of analyses across several stages of a production line. This capability is particularly useful for industries that require comprehensive monitoring and data collection throughout the production process.

The most compact sensors for short and long distances

Polytec's sensors are compact and easy to install, making them ideal for flexible use in industrial settings. The PSS-H-B01 and PSS-H-B02 contact sensor heads are designed for close-range sample measurements, handling liquids, powders, and bulk materials at distances up to 50 mm. For longer distances, the PSS-H-A03 distance sensor head allows measurements from 150 to 600 mm, perfect for conveyor belts and strip products. Both sensor types feature robust construction for demanding environments, providing versatile options for accurate process monitoring.

Two wavelengths (2100 nm wavelength range)

Polytec's spectrometer system offers two wavelength options, with the 2100 nm wavelength being particularly advantageous for analyzing edible oils. This wavelength is highly effective for measuring oil characteristics, making it ideal for applications across various oil types. The ability to utilize this specific wavelength ensures precise and reliable analysis, which is critical for quality control in food production.
