Temperature (Material, Fabric) and Dwell Time
Fabric temperature TDS
Application:
Monitoring of heat-treatment processes like drying, fixation, condensation, shrinkage, curing, crosslinking in textile, carpet, paper, foils
Sustainable impact
- Save energy and CO2
Due to the precise temperature monitoring and control of drying, heat setting and heat treatment processes with the TDS sensor, the energy input for this can be significantly reduced. And this in turn saves CO2.
- First-Time-Right-Principle
Rejects or second choice goods can be avoided thanks to process monitoring and the associated reproducibility. This saves both the use of materials and the costs involved.
Air Humidity, Exhaust Humidity
Exhaust humidity FS X
Application:
- Circulating and exhaust air humidity of industrial dryers of any kind (textile, paper, food, wood, building materials, chemistry, etc.)
- Control of exhaust humidity to save energy
- Control of circulating air humidity for a uniform drying climate to increase product quality
- Possibility to connect up to 3 humidity sensors FS X to the electronic box FS X Box
Sustainable impact
Save energy and CO2
- By optimizing the humidity inside dryers, the exhaust volume can be reduced (Reduction based on experience: 5.000 m3/h) and energy for drying set to a minimum.
- In turn, you reduce your carbon footprint dramatically. (Based on empirical values, this results in a saving of 152 t CO2/year).
Oxygen Measurement
Oxygen measurement OS
Application:
