Viscosel®
For Continuous Viscosity Control

Both the pneumatic and electric Viscosel®s offer:

• Applications
  Widely used in viscosity control of inks, coatings, adhesives, paints, gelatin capsules, chemical formulations.
  
• Convenient & Inexpensive
  Viscosity measurement and control combined in one compact package that mounts easily to process equipment on the production floor. Operating method uses the well-accepted coaxial cylinder principle of viscosity measurement.
  
• Responsive
  The Viscosel®'s sensitive response and automatic operation assures continuous conditioning of fluid.
  
• Measures in-line
  Eliminates time constraints associated with viscosity analysis of grab samples in the laboratory; provides early detection and correction of in-process deviations from desired set points.
  
• Quality control
  Decreases raw material and product waste; maintains control of desirable product qualities (coating thickness, ink printability, % solids, etc.)
  
• Easy to clean
  Only the measuring cylinder and sample chamber come in contact with the sample. They can be easily cleaned or - if necessary - replaced without re-calibration.
  
• Easy to change range
  Measuring cylinders hook on and off easily, without tools and without need to adjust the instrument.
  
• Standard or custom mounting
  Using the standard mount, the Viscosel® can be moved wherever and whenever required. Custom bracket, cart, and tank mounts are available
  

The VTA-120 includes viscosity indication and control in one complete package and is widely used on line in the printing and coatings industries for automatic addition of solvents.

• Easy-to-read viscosity indication
  The easily read set point mark and viscosity indicator are in parallel when the instrument is on control, making possible a quick visual check, even from a distance.
  
• ±1% accuracy full scale
  The Viscosel® is guaranteed to be accurate within ±1% of the range in use and reproducible to ±0.5%.
  
• Safe pneumatic operation
  The Viscosel® and its drive, the indicator/controller and the valve for solvent addition are all pneumatically operated, without complex electronic circuits.
  
• Finely modulated control
  The Viscosel® system offers on/off pneumatic control with 1% throttling action. Whether working with inks, coatings or lacquers, the instrument maintains constant viscosity by controlled solvent addition. The viscometer is also available as a transducer only.
