BTG MEK-2400 shear consistency transmitter

Connection measuring container: DN125

The MEK-2400 is a versatile consistency transmitter that can be optimised for many different applications using different components. The transmitter is
suitable for applications throughout the entire process: from the blow line after the digester, in screening and washing stages, and in the bleach plant through to the machine chest before the paper machine.
The rotating shear force measuring method means the transmitter is virtually insensitive to the normal variations found in freeness, fillers, black liquor content, flow velocity, air content, and pressure.
The MEK-2400 is an intelligent, microprocessor-based transmitter which is fully operated using the SPC-1000 hand-held terminal, and can be connected at any point.
Most settings can be made from the keypad on the junction box.
Communication with a Distributed Control System is handled using a superimposed signal that uses a standard HART® protocol (Universal Commands). Power is supplied by a local power supply mounted in the transmitter’s junction box.
This transmitter is part of BTG’s “smart transmitter” product line.
One easy-to-use hand-held terminal configures a number of different measuring instruments. The MEK-2400 is the 4th generation of rotating transmitters from BTG, and is based on the successful and well-proven MEK-2300, of which over 16,000 units have been sold. This new transmitter provides even greater flexibility as a single model covers the entire consistency range, as well as improved stability, lower maintenance requirements and longer life time.
