Coperion, which has locations in North and South America, now offers Version 5.0 of its RotorCheck contact monitoring system for rotary valves. In production and processing operations, this system aims to register, evaluate and report unwanted contact between the rotor and housing in order to be able to prevent metallic abrasion, and thus potential contamination of the product being conveyed.
This product particularly aims to benefit industrial sectors with high-quality requirements, frequently changing products and recipes, or a high number of cleaning cycles. The newly introduced physical separation of measured value logging and evaluation electronics has advantages in terms of operation and maintenance, while the redeveloped control system is designed to provide advanced options for event diagnosis and connection to host systems. Furthermore, the use of high-quality components aims to contribute to longer uninterrupted running times.
