AW-Lake ProScan Specifications

ProScan™ In-Line Process Sensor

Ideal for for detection of product transitions,
monitoring turbidity and measuring product
concentrations, such as in dairy processing,
brewing and juice processing.

Features:

Utilizing advanced optical and microprocessor technology, ProScan™
produces a linearized 4-20 mA output that can be tailored to a wide
range of applications. The sensor attaches directly to the process line
and allows real-time, in-line analysis of fluid streams. The sapphire
lens and 316 stainless steel construction will withstand the high
temperatures, rapid temperature fluctuations and chemical agents
typical in food and pharmaceutical processes. The simple design
allows plant personnel to install, tune and maintain it with ease.

ProScan can be installed virtually anywhere in the production or waste
stream where it is important to detect process interfaces, monitor
turbidity or measure product concentrations. In pasteurizer lines, a
popular installation site is downstream of the HTST.

Uses:

The ProScan signal can be used to switch valves and direct the liquid
stream to the filler, recirculate it or divert to drain. ProScan is also a
valuable tool to control CIP prerinse cycles and maximize product
recovery. The simple NIR sensor helps processors recover as much
product as possible before initiating cleaning and helps to ensure
expensive chemicals are added at the appropriate time. In addition,
ProScan can act as an excellent monitor of BOD loading on waste lines.
From receiving lines and pasteurizing lines to filling lines and waste lines,
ProScan offers an economical solution to your process control needs.

Benefits:

HIGHLY ACCURATE

The ProScan sensor utilizes NIR technology to accurately and instantly
detect product transitions, monitor turbidity and measure product
concentrations at all stages of your liquid process.

NON-INTRUSIVE MONITORING

Utilizing advanced optical technology, ProScan sends a beam of light into
the process and measures the backscatter. The intensity
of this scatter is proportional to solids concentration.

IMPROVED AUTOMATION

ProScan acts as an eye in your process to allow real­time process control and help improved product quality,
productivity and ROI.
