KPM KC3 Blade Consistency Transmitter
KPM KC3 Blade Consistency Transmitter
Reliable, damage resistant transmitter
KPM KC3 provides reliable and maintenance-free measurement. With its patented, shock resistant and seal-less transfer mechanism, KPM KC3 is the only transmitter in the market with no moving parts. It also boasts titanium parts for the wetted areas and an unbreakable diaphragm to stop process from entering transmitter.
Measures a wide consistency
KPM KC3 fits all applications, measuring a consistency range of 2-16 percent. Plus, the unique and highly-sensitive eddy probe accurately measures shear force.
Remote display unit
Remote display unit can be mounted to any desirable location. It has a large display and intuitive, menu-driven user interface, which features simple set-up, calibration and troubleshooting functions.
Simple calibration
One-touch calibration sequencing makes sampling, set-up and calibration easy. Built-in features include: time-stamping of samples for later evaluation and calibration, calibration calculation with multiple points and statistics, and remote selections for different pulp grades.
Low installation and lifetime costs
The installation is done via standard stainless steel mounting saddles, with titanium options available for upgrade. Service requirements are low because of the seal-less transfer mechanism with no moving parts or O-rings. All parts are field changeable without shutting down the process and emptying the process line.
