SATRON VCF – Optical Freeness & Consistency Transmitter for Pulp & Paper Industry
Real-time freeness and consistency measurement for precise fiber quality control and optimized pulp refining. Engineered for continuous inline monitoring with no moving parts, VCF optimizes energy usage and ensures uniform quality, leading to better machine runnability.
Key Features & Benefits
- Multichannel Parameter Measurement: Freeness + Consistency
Simultaneously measures both fiber freeness (°SR / CSF) and consistency, providing critical data for fiber development control. - Real-Time Inline Measurement
Instant backscattering-based analysis using multi-channel LED technology allows rapid adjustments to refining and screening operations. - Optimized Fiber Refining Efficiency
Accurate freeness measurement supports fine-tuning of refining intensity, improving pulp strength and reducing energy consumption. - Maintenance-Free Operation
Fully optical, with no moving parts. Minimizes service needs, downtime, and total lifecycle costs, ensuring a long lifetime. - Fast Return on Investment
Improves refining efficiency, reduces chemical and energy use, and stabilizes end-product quality for fast financial payback. - Wide Application Range in Pulp Manufacturing
Monitoring fiber in stock preparation as well as in mechanical, recycled fiber and kraft pulp processing. - Harmonized Instrumentation Platform
Compatible process couplings and user interfaces across Satron VC series simplify mill-wide deployment and staff training.
