The products of Berthold Technologies

Level Measurements

Contactless level measurement for industrial applications – invented by Berthold In the process industry, precise systems for level and level switch measurement are fundamental and make an important contribution to the safety and high quality of production and logistics processes. Applications are most frequently carried out on liquids and solids in process tanks, storage tanks or silos. However, there are requirements in which level measurements are not feasible or attainable with conventional measurement technology due to the extreme boundary conditions or only possible with very high installation or maintenance costs. This is applicable, for example, in environments with high pressure or high temperatures or with aggressive or abrasive media.

Density Measurements

Optimize your process with the density measurement from Berthold. Our density measurement systems are noncontact and maintenance-free. They provide accurate density and concentration readings of liquids such as acids, alkalis, slurries, solutions, and suspensions. Clamping on the outside of existing pipelines, the density measurement system can be used on pipes with diameters from 25 mm to over 1000mm, chutes, and vessels. Berthold’s density measurement is radiometric and therefore ideally suited for use in extreme measurement environments, such as with abrasive, highly viscous, or highly corrosive media, or even in the case of vibrations. It is completely unaffected by the flow velocity of the medium.

Bulk Flow Measurements

Optimize your process with bulk flow and throughput measurement from Berthold. The radiometric bulk flow measurement from Berthold is used to measure flow rates and throughput on all kinds of conveying systems. The major advantage of our systems is that the measurement performance remains stable even after years of operation with a repeatability of ±1 %, meaning there is no need to recalibrate with time. Due to the non-contacting nature of the measurement and the lack of moving parts, encrustations, dirt, wind and changing belt tension do not affect the bulk flow measurement. Combined with the conveyor velocity signal, the mass flow rate is accurately determined without any negative influence from dust, temperature, vibrations, varying particle sizes or chemical properties of the measured material.

Online Moisture Measurement

Online measurement from Berthold for bulk materials, powders, and granulates. Being a manufacturer of various moisture measurement systems in the field of process measurement technology, we can offer you the optimum solution for your applications. Berthold offers a variety of moisture measurement approaches and solutions for process control, supplying the optimal technology for your application. The moisture content is an important and decisive quality parameter in many industrial production processes.

Our online measurement enables optimal optimized process control, with cost-efficient energy use in firing or drying processes, and reduces waste by measuring in real-time during production. Accurate monitoring of moisture during product loading ensures compliance with delivery specifications. Berthold‘s measurement systems are simple, robust, and reliable, and work unaffected by dust, temperature or color. From the food industry to power plants to the pharmaceutical industry – the areas of application for our measuring systems are limitless.

Concentration Measurement

Online measurement for liquids, suspensions, and pasty media. Concentration, density, or dry matter can be measured in a wide variety of products, continuous processes, pipelines, and vessels using the microwave measuring systems from Berthold. From the food industry to power plants and the pharmaceutical industry — the fields of application for our microwave systems are manifold and the selection of sensors is correspondingly large. Our special technical features, such as checking the plausibility of measured values or very high measurement and frequency dynamics, set new standards.

Sources & Shields

A radioactive source that emits ionizing radiation is a component of radiometric measuring systems. The radioactive material is completely sealed in an extremely resistant capsule. This guarantees safe and long-term use even under extreme environmental conditions. Our shields, made of steel or stainless steel and filled with lead or tungsten, offer the best shielding effect in every situation. The shielding or shutter remains closed during transport and maintenance work on the container until the measurement is put into operation.
