The measuring method is based on the further development of the rotational viscometer principle. Already the Convimeter I works here with a wobbling motion, which ensures a good substance exchange and macroscopic shear at small shear gradients. With the Convimeter II, the measurement is now fully digitized, which leads to a reduction of moving parts and thus to particular ease of maintenance and robustness. The fully digital signal processing.

Creating viscosity profiles – characterization In food production, ingredient mixtures with non-Newtonian behavior are regularly encountered. The “Characterization” measuring program can be used to analyze the rheological behavior on the basis of a precisely definable speed profile. The results support the planning or adaptation of production processes. New or modified formulations can thus be tested on a large scale under real conditions. The measurement results are available directly on the operating unit or on any browser-capable device in the same network.

Shear rate matching – measured value alignment During prescribed quality controls in the laboratory, the conditions in production can only be reproduced to a limited extent. This is due to the fact that shear rate-dependent viscosities from a laboratory environment cannot be easily transferred to a process section. With the help of shear rate matching, the measured values can be matched (within the speed range).

• Wide range of applications – thanks to adjustable shear rates and large measuring range
• Automation – measurement and control during the production process
• Fast substance exchange – due to pump effect
• Low shear rates – macroscopic shear at small shear gradients
• Measurement of the overall structure – behavior is not only recorded at an interface, but determined over a macroscopic rang
• Precise measurements – viscosity is measured at real prevailing conditions
• CIP – “Clean In Place
