VOF Turbidity and Solids Optical Sensor
The SATRON VOF is an optical turbidity and phase interface sensor that operates on the absorption principle using reliable LED technology. It is optimized for monitoring wastewater, effluents, impurities in clean water, and color variations in different processes.
Designed for flexibility, the sensor can be easily removed from the process line via a 1” ball valve, enabling relocation or maintenance without stopping production. Its robust construction and low-range turbidity measurement capability make it a trusted choice for harsh process environments.
Key Features & Benefits
