Total Consistency Measurement Metso Microwave Consistency Transmitter

The Metso MCA-FT flow through transmitter is available for pipe sizes from 50 mm up to 300 mm The new, rugged, light weight construction is designed to survive harsh process conditions. Metso Microwave Consistency Transmitter Experience is the key Metso MCA is a third generation microwave consistency transmitter. All latest electronics and redesigned mechanical construction provide even better reliability, easier installation and the tremendous accuracy of the microwave measurement principle. The Metso MCA measures total consistency independent of pulp grade, recipe or production speed – for...

MCA %Cs Unbleached pine Bleached pine Bleached birch Groundwood CTMP Eucalyptus Operating Unit for local control, power and cable connections. Lab %Cs Basis weight measurement fillers, conduct the microwaves faster than water so that shorter transmission times are seen with higher consistencies. The relationship is linear, making it easy to calibrate the device irrespective of what is being measured. Broke, recycled fiber or other difficult pulps do not present any problems. Feed-forward Basis weight control control Flow ratio control No Regular Maintenance Required Machine chest Regular maintenance...

The measurement is not affected by fiber length (birch at 1.3 mm and pine at 3.5 mm), freeness (unbleached pine at 650 CSF and ground wood at 50 CSF), Kappa (mechanical vs. fully bleached pine), brightness and color (unbleached vs. bleached pine) and pulping process (chemical pulp vs. mechanical pulp). The fork model, Metso MCA-F can be installed in the same process coupling as Metso’s shear force transmitters including Metso SP and earlier SmartPulp and Pulp-El types.
