Model 104PC
At-line Portable Paper Consistency Analyzer
The 104PC at-line portable sensors are designed to assist the papermaker to assess felt condition and optimize the drainage and drying characteristics of the machine. The 104PC-F is a small sensor that is held against the underside of the wire to determine the consistency of the sheet at various points along the forming section of a paper machine without disrupting production. Basis weight and consistency measurements can be used to optimize essential wet-end performance characteristics. The 104PC-D measures the sheet exiting the press section and through the dryer sections. The small, single sided sensor is held lightly against the sheet in an open draw between the dryer cans to obtain a weight measurement. This data and the bone-dry weight at the reel are used to calculate the water in the sheet.
	Features Direct digital readout of basis weight or consistency Use in the press and dryer section on grades from newsprint to pulp Fast and lightweight Easy to set-up and operate with reliable and repeatable measurements Battery-powered for cordless operation Insensitive to changes in surface condition or color Compatible with existing gamma sensors Specially designed sensor heads minimize contact between sheet or wire Download data to and from a PC

Model 104TC
System - TC Series for Paper Makers
Traditionally, papermakers have positioned the “dry-line” to obtain the proper drainage on the wire. However, larger paper machines, elevated wires, steamy forming sections, and remote control room locations make dry-line monitoring difficult for operators. As top wires and additional fourdriniers are added the dry-lines can disappear altogether. The 104TC Fixed Point Gamma System when coupled with a 104 Sensor affords a simple and realistic means to monitor and control the basis weight or consistency of the sheet at many locations in the forming section. One or more sensors can be mounted before and/or after top wires, dandy rolls, multi-ply sheets, and gap formers depending on various paper machine configurations.
