ANDRITZ RheoScanAutomatic adjustment of polymer usage
‘Panta Rhei’ - everything flows!
ANDRITZ RheoScan, one of the latest
developments by expert engineers at
ANDRITZ AUTOMATION, is a patented
technology for efficient regulation of auto-
mated polymer dosage. By understanding
sludge flow characteristics, optical mea-
surement enables maximum efficiency in
polymer utilization by making adjustments
depending on actual sludge viscosity. The
ANDRITZ RheoScan saves up to 30% of
polymer consumption on permanent ma-
chine operation. Different connectivity solu-
tions are available.
CharacteristicsANDRITZ RheoScan Included
Digital camera with focus on sludge texture
Lighting equipment (LED) for illumination of relevant sludge area
Cabinet (W600 H600 D350) with panel PC for visualization and
