TECO C3000 Fixed Mount Probe
The C3000 Fixed Mount Probe is a mechanical shear force sensor that reacts to changes in the network strength of a particular furnish. When fibers encounter an obstruction to their flow, they have to shear or tear apart in order to pass. The amount of force necessary to separate the fibers is a direct function of consistency.
Product Summary
Download Product Summary SheetThe C3000 Consistency Sensor is designed as one of the critical components of the TECO StockriteTM family of consistency instruments.
Its simple, rugged, reliable design allows the C3000 to be applicable over a wide range of consistency levels.
Its low flow threshold, capable of being on-control immediately, in combination with its design benefits make the C3000 Consistency Sensor your best choice for consistency measurement.
Features & Benefits
- Simple / Reliable Design – No moving parts or maintenance issues.
- Stable Calibration and Excellent Repeatability.
- Remote Mounted Transmitter – good for high vibration, high temperature, or inaccessible applications.
- Angled Leading Edge Design – easily sheds any foreign objects, excellent for recycle furnish applications.
- Low Flow Threshold – ability to be on-control immediately at low velocity rates.
- Wide Consistency Range – applicable for a variety of
consistency levels. - Titanium Sensor – for maximum longevity.
Applications
With no moving parts, and an angled leading edge, the C3000 sheds foreign objects easily and is very easy to maintain, making it an excellent choice for a stable, repeatable consistency measurement in hard to measure applications such as recycle furnishes.
This sensor is also designed as a remotely mounted unit to be used in combination with TECO’s TMC-6000 Microprocessor Transmitter, making the C3000 sensor an excellent choice for high vibration, high temperature, or inaccessible applications.
