Advantages of viscous control systems

IFA Technology offers viscosity control systems that increase efficiency and reliability in production processes. They enable continuous real-time monitoring and reduce manual intervention, saving time and costs. They ensure consistent product quality through precise control and reduce rejects and rework. Process parameters are automatically adjusted in the event of deviations.

Real-time monitoring and automatic optimization

Viscosity control systems continuously record the viscosity of liquids or pasty materials during the production process Real-time monitoring enables immediate adjustments to the process parameters This keeps the viscosity within the desired specifications, which is essential for consistent end product quality

The systems prevent production downtimes or quality fluctuations by intervening immediately in the event of the smallest deviations. They are particularly valuable for sectors such as paints and coatings, the pharmaceutical industry, semiconductor technology and solvent-based impregnation processes.

IFA Technology offers customized complete systems, tailored to specific requirements and production processes. These systems contain all the important components for reliable viscosity control:

  • Mixing container for homogeneous material distribution
  • Post-dosing units for viscosity adjustments
  • Recording consumption data to optimize the production process.

These integrated solutions offer maximum efficiency and improve product quality and production speed.

Specialized viscosity sensors, which vary depending on the application, measure the viscosity. These sensors are at the heart of the viscosity control system and detect immediate changes in viscosity.

Rotation sensors: These sensors measure the viscosity by rotating a measuring body in the liquid. They are ideal for applications where high precision is required.

Inline sensors: These sensors are integrated directly into the production line and enable continuous measurement of viscosity without interrupting the process. They are particularly useful in fast-paced production environments where an immediate response is essential.

Resonant frequency sensors: These sensors determine the viscosity based on the resonant frequency changes caused by the liquid. They are particularly effective for the accurate measurement of very low or very high viscosities.

The viscosity control systems are equipped with a parameterizable control system that can be adapted to production requirements. This control system enables complete control over the viscosity controller and can be seamlessly integrated into existing systems. All production data can be monitored in real time via interfaces to control systems in order to react immediately to changes. The integration immediately improves process stability and product quality, regardless of whether a new production line is being set up or an existing system is being retrofitted.

Measuring instruments: Stationary design to keep liquid media in the tank or product circuit at a set viscosity.

Viscosity ranges: The measuring sensors are selected according to the medium and detect viscosities from 0 to 1000 mPas as well as over 1000 mPas up to approx. 100,000 mPas.

Automatic metering: The metering of alcohols or solvents, for example, is automatic and keeps the viscosity range constant.
