Real-time process monitoring, minimal downtime, and maximum plant availability – enabled by the combination of Hellma spectroscopy probes and Knick retractable fittings

Optical spectroscopy enables continuous monitoring of production and manufacturing processes, delivering valuable real-time data for process control and quality assurance. A key requirement for precise and reliable measurements is a robust and permanently available spectroscopic interface.

The UV/Vis/NIR spectroscopy probes and flow cells from Hellma are directly integrated into the process and capture relevant parameters exactly where they occur. This allows deviations to be detected at an early stage, processes to be optimized in a targeted way, and consistently high product quality to be ensured.

The combination of Hellma spectroscopy probes and Knick retractable process adapters opens up new possibilities for flexible and cost-effective plant operation.

A wide range of process connections enables the measurement solution to be optimally adapted to a variety of process conditions and applications. This facilitates integration into existing production environments and provides the basis for stable and reliable measurements over the long term.

With Hellma and Knick, two German technology leaders have joined forces, both recognized worldwide for innovative solutions, the highest quality standards, and decades of experience in process analytics. Users benefit from perfectly matched components, a high level of investment security, and reliable performance even under demanding process conditions.
