HK6 Series

Product catalog summary
Description: The microwave measurement devices by Harrer & Kassen GmbH utilize low-energy electromagnetic waves to measure the dielectric properties of products, providing data on water content or dry matter. The system is stable, quick to respond, and non-destructive.
Advantages: The devices feature state-of-the-art technology, easy installation, resistance to vibrations, and require no maintenance. They offer real-time measurement, continuous monitoring, and easy calibration.
Conditions for Successful Measurement: The product must not contain metal between antennas, and the signal should pass through a homogeneous product.
Customer Benefits: The system allows for real-time monitoring, consistent production quality, early detection of production failures, and easy calibration. It supports multiple languages and has a secure user interface.
HK6-CLN Features: This model includes an automatic cleaning function to prevent measurement distortion from sugar buildup, ensuring reliable BRIX content measurement.
Calibration: Pre-calibrated at delivery, the device requires only a one-point calibration for standard BRIX measurement, with an accuracy of 0.5 BRIX, or 0.2 with multiple point calibration.
Installation Considerations: Install in areas free of air bubbles and with ambient temperatures below 85°C. For pipelines, install vertically after a pump with pressure >1.5 bar.
Technical Data: The HK6 features aluminum die-cast housing, IP65/NEMA 4 protection, and operates within -20°C to +85°C. It includes RS232/RS485 interfaces, analog outputs, and optional PROFI-BUS-DP.
Operation: The HK6-C/-C-CLN models have a membrane keypad and LCD display, while the HK6-F/-F-CLN models offer remote control capabilities.
Directives: The HK6 complies with EMC, low-voltage, and RoHS directives.
Technical Data Antennas: Made of stainless steel, with options for different flange sizes and antenna covers suitable for various temperature ranges.

HK6 Series-2

Transmissions signal passes through an in-homogenous product Description: The microwave measurement devices generate an electromagnetic wave of low energy. This signal is coupled via an antenna into the product. 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 and it has a quick response to product changes....

HK6 Series-3

The measurement is contacting, the measured values are available as BRIX, % (only % without constituent name), g/l, %H2O or TS. Because of further increasing quality requirements after ISO and EU standards, the industries have an enhanced demand for improved quality control, standardization and In-Line trend observation. The Harrer & Kassen microwave instrument can be installed at pipelines or vessels in a sugar plant. But consider: Install at a place where no air bubbles appear and ambient temperature is below 85°C When installing at a pipeline, always install in a vertical pipe after the pump...
