Starch measurement in the paper industry

Process monitoring with LiquiSonic®

Concentration measurement of starch in sizing processes


Measurement accuracy: ± 0.05%

Wheat, corn, potato starch, etc.

No additional cleaning necessary

Plug & Play system

LiquiSonic® ensures precise analysis and monitoring of starch concentration without additional cleaning steps, with an accuracy of ± 0.05% through ultrasonic measurements. The robust Plug & Play LiquiSonic® Sensor construction guarantees a long service life of the system and reduces time -consuming laboratory measurements.

Exact and maintenance-free concentration measurement

In paper production, sizing is a critical process step. Desired properties such as tear resistance and dry strength are imparted to the paper. Therefore, process monitoring is particularly important to use costly resources as efficiently as possible.

Simple and quick commissioning is enabled by the Plug & Play system. Compared to other measurement methods, ultrasonic sensors always provide a clear signal in the typical concentration range of 0 - 40%, without requiring elaborate cleaning and rinsing processes and costly cleaning equipment. In addition, complex measurement tasks for special paper starch adhesives with additives or measurements over 40% starch content have already been successfully implemented.

Due to the permanent data logging of our durable LiquiSonic® sensors, können zeitintensive Laborauswertungen vermieden werden und Genauigkeiten von ± 0,05 % erreicht werden, um jederzeit optimale Prozessbedingungen garantieren zu können.

Plug & Play installation system

Our LiquiSonic® immersion sensor is the perfect solution for precise measurement of starch concentration. Thanks to our Plug & Play system, the sensor can be installed directly into existing pipelines without elaborate modifications.

The LiquiSonic® Controller 30 allows the connection of up to four sensors, enabling continuous monitoring of starch concentration at several critical points with just one controller. This allows for quick reactions to changes.

Our LiquiSonic® immersion sensor can perfectly measure the typical concentration range of 0 - 40% as well as the classic process temperatures in the range of 20 - 60°C. Furthermore, our system is suitable for a variety of starch types such as wheat starch, hydroxyethyl starch, potato starch, corn starch, and modified starch.
