In 2014, Instek Control launched the Level Transmitter Mining (LTM-2) level measurement probe as alternative to traditional measurement systems for difficult and sometimes seemingly impossible measuring environments.

Instek Control is pleased to introduce the ITM-51 – the first turbidity sensor with IO-Link developed by Anderson-Negele.

In this blog post we are going back in time to toast the life of Italian physicist Giovanni Battista Venturi (1764 – 1822). He was responsible for figuring out an important element in basic fluid and airflow dynamics, which came to be known as The Venturi Effect.

Digitalisation has already found its way into many branches of industry under the keywords "Industry 4.0" or "Internet of Things", and today it is impossible to imagine life without it. INSTEK Control is excited to announce that the new dimension in hygienic measuring technology is digital and analogue, compact or remote and modular.

When it comes to a brewery, you clean to prevent the transfer of tastes from one beer to the next, and you clean to help assure your product is safe for human consumption. In the face of increasing supply and demand, brewing plants are compelled to keep the cost of production as low as possible, without sacrificing safety and quality of the end-product.

The highest priority in the production of food, beverages and pharmaceuticals is product safety. In sanitary applications, such as the production of vaccines or baby food, the purity, quality and stability of the product must be ensured.

MyLab can be applied throughout the whole food production chain: from raw materials to intermediates to final products, from the inspection of incoming goods to hygiene monitoring and finally to product analysis for correct labelling.

The density sensor RHOTEC L measures the density of small liquid samples. They are manually injected into the sensor. The instrument is designed for laboratory applications requiring maximum sensitivity and highest accuracy. It is easy to operate and maintenance-free.

Raw water quality depends greatly on its source. Based on the raw water quality and the specifications for the purified water, Centec select the most appropriate technologies for each client. Usually, multi-stage regimes are necessary for water purification. For water pre-treatment, sand and multi media filters are used to remove suspended material (e. g. silt, clay, organic matter). Such material in water can reduce the effectiveness of downstream components such as ion exchange resins and reverse osmosis membranes. Soluble iron and manganese are found in water that contains no dissolved oxygen. They cause a metallic taste and form deposits in piping systems. The Centec De-Ironizer is designed for iron and manganese removal. If harmful bacteria and microbes are suspected, the water is disinfected by UV, ozone or free chlorine. Activated carbon (AC) filtration removes odours, tastes and oxidizing agents like free chlorine that can lead to chemical attack of membranes elements in subsequent purification steps.
