Product Overview

True-phase method measurement
The KPM KC7 provides precise total consistency measurement of mixed pulps using the well-tested microwave true-phase technology. With a wide-range of options available, the flowthrough model boasts the largest available diameter while the insertion-style’s antennas have been designed to avoid microwave reflections in pipe and generate a self-cleaning effect. Mills get the most representative, accurate, reliable measurement unaffected by process variables or obstructions.

Accurate, total consistency measurement
With a microwave signal utilizing phase vector modulation that contains a microwave-wide band sweep, KPM KC7 provides high accuracy measurement that is unaffected by variations in pulp species, fiber length, freeness and in process conditions, unlike optical and shear force technologies. KPM KC7 measures fibers and fillers for total consistency, making it ideal to measure mixed pulps and has single point calibration.

Remote display unit
Remote electronics offers large display for easy operation and set-up. Intuitive, menu-driven interface features simple set-up, calibration and troubleshooting functions

Two versions for wide range of installation options
The inline, dual-plate design is uniquely equipped with an optional retractable temperature sensor for hard processes. The flow-through model fits pipes up to 16″, the largest size on the market for the most representative results.

No maintenance
KPM KC7 needs no preventive maintenance; it has no wearing parts at all. The flow-through models do not have measurement parts inside the pipe to be hit by foreign particles. Depend on KPM KC7 for a reliable and maintenance-free product.

Enhanced diagnostics
To further enhance the diagnostics features of the KPM KC7, all sensors will be equipped with an integrated pressure sensor, available as a spare part.
