‘Panta Rhei’ - everything flows!

ANDRITZ RheoScan, one of the latest

developments by expert engineers at

ANDRITZ AUTOMATION, is a patented

technology for efficient regulation of auto-

mated polymer dosage. By understanding

sludge flow characteristics, optical mea-

surement enables maximum efficiency in

polymer utilization by making adjustments

depending on actual sludge viscosity. The

ANDRITZ RheoScan saves up to 30% of

polymer consumption on permanent ma-

chine operation. Different connectivity solu-

tions are available.

CharacteristicsANDRITZ RheoScan Included

Digital camera with focus on sludge texture

Lighting equipment (LED) for illumination of relevant sludge area

Cabinet (W600 H600 D350) with panel PC for visualization and

parameter control

Optical measurement system via preferred connectivity:

OPC server provides process data via ethernet cable

Profi-bus connection

Hard-wired (4-20mA analog or 24VDC digital)
