Model IRmadillo -An Infrared Process Analyser Fit for the Factory Floor
Keit enables better monitoring & control of manufacturing processes by providing real-time chemical analysis with a breakthrough technology – the IRmadillo. The IRmadillo is a robust, mid-infrared spectrometer that excels as an in-line process analyser of liquids. It can be configured to operate in traditional spectrometer mode, or loaded with a calibration model and run as either a concentration meter, a qualitative classification analyser, or both simultaneously. Not only does it match the power of a laboratory-grade instrument, but it is tough enough as a process instrument to install directly into a manufacturing line to catch any problem when it happens, not after it happens. Because the IRmadillo provides real-time analyses, Keit helps producers make faster decisions to run their processes more efficiently, safely and profitably.
Traditional FTIR instruments operate using a pair of moving mirrors based on a design from the 1800’s called the Michelson interferometer. The IRmadillo has no moving parts and instead is built upon an arrangement of static mirrors. The light is processed by splitting it and sending it around a loop of mirrors to create an interference pattern on the detector which is analysed and converted into a spectrum.
Our IRmadillos use diamond ATRs – a naturally robust, scratch resistant material that gives our process analysers the compatibiity over a wide range of chemical and biochemical processes regardless of pH or the nature of the chemistry. We have several models to suit your needs including an Ex-certified IRmadillo and other models that are compatible with sterilise-in-place (SIP) and clean-in-place (CIP) processes.
