How Can an Inline Turbidity Sensor or Turbidity Meter Optimize Processes and Reduce Cost?

Typical Applications for Hygienic Inline Turbidity Sensors

Product differentiation:

Turbidity sensors help distinguish between different liquids, ensuring correct processing, storage, or filling. Examples include:

  • Automatically stopping pre-rinse water when turbidity reaches a certain value, ensuring the cleaning process starts at the optimal time.

Process control: Turbidity levels can trigger process corrections through signals to the PLC. Typical applications include:

Quality monitoring: Turbidity sensors ensure consistent product quality by monitoring concentration levels:

Advantages of Turbidity Measurement Across Industries

Which Measuring Principles Are Used in Turbidity Sensors?

What is Relative Turbidity Measurement?

Relative turbidity measurement, using the backscattered light method, offers key advantages such as seamless inline sensor installation and cost-effectiveness. The ITM-51 turbidity sensor is highly adaptable and can be easily retrofitted into existing pipelines as small as DN25.

What is Four-beam Turbidity Measurement?

The ITM-4 is designed for easy integration, fitting into pipelines ranging from DN25 to DN100 (or 1″ to 4″) using a sanitary screw fitting or clamp connection.

This method is also employed in the ITM-4DW variant, which is specifically adapted and approved for drinking water applications. The ITM-4DW offers a cost-effective solution while maintaining the high accuracy and reliability of the ITM-4.
