The Canty Camera / Light combination is Tri-clamp® mounted on to the existing light or sight port of the centrifuge to allow continuous internal viewing from the control room. In the control room, the VectorTM image processing computer will analyze this view and provide a 4-20mA output of fill level, filtering level, and a separate cake (solids) detection signal. The level control allows for consistent batching to the centrifuge. The cake detection 4-20mA output signal provides for immediate detection of solids, which prevent the cake from cracking. This means higher product yield due to fewer washes, and ultimately better product quality.
