Hygienic process viscometer

HYGIENIC DESIGN

Hygienic viscometers are essential for sanitary and sterile settings, or any environment where contamination is a risk:

  • Food industry
  • Biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry
  • Cosmetics
  • Paint and coating systems

Material

Compliant with 1935/2004/EC. As a minimum all wetted parts are manufactured from 316 (1.4401) stainless steel. Other materials, including corrosion-resistant nickel alloys are optional. Specialist coatings e.g. fluoropolymers, are also offered.

Construction

The all-welded solid sensor rod has an open construction for easy cleaning and to eliminate contaminant traps.
Welds are smooth and crevice-free.
Sensor surface finishes to Ra < 0.4 µm.

Clean In Place

All XL7 viscometers are clean-in-place (CIP) compatible.

Process Connection

XL7 viscometers are supplied with process fittings to match the connections that already exist on your equipment. This includes any size or type of sanitary fitting, including quick-release tri-clamp mountings, RJT, IDF, DIN, SMS, Varivent® and others.

XL7's with hygienic sanitary process fittings

Since the viscometers were installed they have proved to be 100% reliable, with no fluctuation on the measurement of our liquids. We would definitely recommend them to other companies considering buying them.

We design for the worst case. We go beyond basic compliance to make sure our equipment still gives outstanding performance in the most hostile industrial environments.

The performance has been excellent. We have not had any issues with the viscometers. The operators have come to trust them and use them to optimise the process.

Our products shape modern viscosity measurement. We are always stretching the limits of what is possible.

Every component is considered in meticulous detail. We are obsessed with detail. Success at this level needs that obsession.

With this viscometer we can now get the data we need to tune our mathematical models and correlations and increase the accuracy of our viscosity predictions.

We question everything and copy nobody. Every product is unique.
It is flattering to see others mimic some of what we do, but innovation is in Hydramotion’s DNA and you can’t copy that.

We chose Hydramotion because they could offer us an intrinsically safe instrument that’s easy to use and low maintenance, not only that, the Hydramotion viscometer was very competitive pricewise against other machines.
