BTG launches new consistency measurement transmitter
ECLÉPENS, Switzerland, April 25, 2008 (Press Release) - With its MEK-3000 TwinTorque(TM) BTG now offers a revolutionary new shear force consistency transmitter. Based on more than 80 years of experience in consistency measurement and a well proven measurement principle – more than 30.000 installations worldwide – the TwinTorque is prone to become your new trustworthy workhorse. It is suitable for use in all parts of the pulp and papermaking process when it comes to measurements of consistencies in the range of 1 – 16 %.
Centrepiece of the TwinTorque are the twin motors, another of BTG's patented designs. Each motor directly drives one axis which allows for a very compact design and improved precision of the torque measurement leading to optimal accuracy. The twin motors thus deliver a host of unbeatable benefits that will lift your performance to a whole new level:
- Lowest possible installation costs through a single-phase power supply and minimized set-up. There is a reduced need for a measuring vessel, since a smaller weld-in stud can be used for many applications
- Tightest possible process control through superior measurement precision, fastest response and shortest dead time
- Proven reliability of its measuring principle, making it ultra-versatile and universal
- Lightweight – at only 13 kg it can easily be lifted by just one person
- Lowest maintenance: combining an extremely robust construction with a minimum number of wearing parts
- Suitable as replacement system, since it adapts easily to existing MEK installations
- Elaborate diagnostics to make troubleshooting easy
The TwinTorque's unique technology is complemented by a new leading-edge communication platform – the CPM. Besides the standard HART protocol, this unit offers a broader range of communication possibilities like profibus PA and fieldbus foundation. Nowadays a DTM is also available.

Or visit our booth at SPCI 2008, Stockholm, (A29:30) where the new TwinTorque will be presented – as the first in a new line of easier, smaller, smarter, lighter instruments for the pulp and paper industry.
