Corona process
3.3 Functional description
The
Corona process
is a measuring system which is used to determine the
ingredients and color of solid and pasty organic materials. It features two
spectrometers which enable the wavelength range of 380 – 1650 nm. Internal
referencing ensures consistently reproducible and reliable results.
The optical design enables installation of the
Corona process
directly above a
conveyor belt or other open conveyor systems. At the same time, the sample can
pass by the
Corona process
at a measuring distance of 90 to 600 mm.
The
Corona process
is equipped with two redundant halogen lamps and
automatically switches over to the second lamp if the first one fails.
The stainless steel housing and the hygiene standard adhered to the design allow
the use of the device in the food industry.
The
Corona process
features a mounting option for installing it on open
transport systems, e.g. above conveyor belts.
The
Corona process
is operated at 12 – 24 V SELV/PELV and may be connected
only to the intended power supply (safety extra-low voltage).
It has a voltage input which is connected to a 12-24 V DC power supply (40 W
power supply unit / inrush current < 4 A).
The
Corona process
can be connected to a computer via an Ethernet interface to
perform measurements, calculations and displays of ingredients.
Furthermore, the
Corona process
offers the possibility of utilizing 4 digital inputs
and 4 digital outputs.
