The superior way of measuring sludge levels: Sonatax sc process probe
The Sonatax sc is a digital process probe for the continuous determination of the sludge level or the sludge height in sedimentation tanks, vessels and reactors. The sludge level or sludge height is calculated without contact between the probe and the sludge based on the propagation time of the ultrasonic echo. An efficient automatic wiper cleaning system keeps the ultrasonic head clean. The Sonatax sc is factory calibrated for long-term calibration stability. A simple correction allows adjustment to local conditions. In addition, the probes are compatible for Hach SC200 and SC1000 controller platform.
