HK1 Series

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document describes a microwave measurement device developed by Harrer & Kassen GmbH for continuous in-line measurement of dry matter in products such as cheese, milk, and curd. The technology uses electromagnetic waves to determine the water content or dry matter based on the dielectric properties of the product.
Specifications: The device features state-of-the-art microwave technology, real-time measurement, continuous monitoring, and modular design. It is maintenance-free, non-destructive, and unaffected by vibrations. The device requires no salt or metal between antennas for accurate measurement.
Applications: The HK1 series is suitable for various production processes in milk processing, offering real-time measurement of dry matter and water content. Specific models include HK1-MC for cheese, HK1-M for milk and curd, and HK1-C-3A for butter and mozzarella.
Technical Data: The evaluation units are housed in stainless steel or aluminum, with protection types IP66/NEMA 4 and IP65/NEMA 4. They support power supplies of 100-240 V/AC or 24V/DC, with interfaces like RS232 or RS485 and optional PROFI-BUS-DP. Operating temperatures range from -20°C to +85°C.
Compliance: The HK1 devices comply with CE directives, including EMC directives 2014/30/EU, low-voltage directives 2014/35/EU, and RoHS directives 2011/65/EU.

HK1 Series-2

Transmissions signal passes through an in-homogenous product Description: At the microwave measurement technology an electromagnetic wave with very low energy is generated. This signal is coupled via an antenna into the product (Cheese, Milk, Curd, etc.). Depending on the dielectric properties of the product the signal propagates in the product. After the signal has passed the product a second antenna receives the signal (Transmission). Amplitude and phase shift of the received signal are an expression for the water content or dry matter of the product. The microwave measurement is very stable...
