Consistency Samplers

Cross Company Consistency Samplers

In the paper industry, consistency control is critical and being able to obtain a proper sample plays a key part. The sample must be representative, repeatable, and obtained by the employee safely. To save on expenses, many plants will use a ball valve but ball valves are unlikely to give a representative sample.

Specifically designed consistency samplers can be either manual, for easily accessible locations, or pneumatic, for hard to reach areas. For best results, the sample should be taken in the same location as where the consistency transmitter is monitoring.

Cross Company is proud to offer Valmet’s consistency and filtrate samplers. Their products are highly repeatable and suitable for all pulp grades and process media. Interested in discussing how a consistency sampler can improve safety and efficiency of your sampling process? Contact the experts at Cross today!

The Importance of Reliable Sampling in Process Analysis

From manufacturing to chemical processing, understanding the composition of substances during the production process is necessary to maintain efficiency, safety, and product integrity. That’s why process analyzers like consistency samplers are so important for process applications. They act as a bridge between complex, real-world processes and the data-driven insights required for informed decision-making.

The accuracy of any process analysis is dependent on the reliability of samples collected. The samples then are analyzed to provide insights into the composition, concentration, and characteristics of the substances (in the case of paper manufacturing, potentially the pulp).

Incorrect or inconsistent sampling can lead to inaccurate analysis results and false information about the state of processes. Deviations in product quality, regulatory non-compliance, and compromised safety are just a few potential outcomes of poor sampling practices. That’s why a well-designed and properly implemented consistency sampler from a respected brand is critical for obtaining reliable data and making informed decisions.

Applications for Consistency Samplers

There are many uses for process analyzing equipment in paper manufacturing or other process applications. Some applications for consistency samplers include

Quality control – In paper manufacturing, maintaining consistent pulp quality is essential for producing high-quality paper products. Consistency samplers are used to extract pulp samples at different stages of the production process, ensuring that the pulp consistency remains within specified ranges.

Chemical monitoring – Consistency samplers help monitor the consistency of chemical solutions within a process. By analyzing samples, manufacturers can verify the accuracy of additive dosages, preventing over or underuse of chemicals that could impact final products

Effluent Monitoring and Compliance – Process industries, including paper manufacturing, are subject to environmental regulations regarding effluent quality. Consistency samplers are employed to collect samples from wastewater streams, allowing manufacturers to assess the consistency of pollutants, suspended solids, and other contaminants.

Did you know… Cross Company is an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan). Our ESOP started in 1979 and as of 2006, we are 100% employee-owned! Learn more about our ESOP and how that benefits both team members and our customers.
Did you know... the precision measurement group at Cross was founded in 1939 by our current CEO's grandfather, Jim King. That's a whole lot of calibration!
Did you know... A fingerprint weighs about 50 micrograms. We know, we weighed it! The residue left from a finger can actually make a difference in weight results which is why we wear gloves when we calibrate weights. For reference, a sheet of paper is about 4.5 grams, that’s 4.5 million micrograms.
Did you know… Cross Company has grown significantly since our start in 1954. Over the years we've acquired 26 companies! Today, our five groups have expertise in everything from industrial automation to precision measurement, and industry knowledge going all the way back to 1939.
