Torlon PAI at Greenville / Technical data
Technical data

Analyzer, probe and software, from the catalog.

Values from the Spectrally Raman Analyzers catalog. Inline means the probe sits in the process itself and reads without a sample being drawn. The configuration for Greenville, wavelength, spectral range and measurement points, is set in the feasibility report.

Spectrally X1 INLINE analyzer cabinet
01 · Spectrally X1 INLINE

A process Raman analyzer for continuous service.

Spectrally X1 INLINE measures composition in the installation, continuously through the batch. Two channels come as standard, enough for the reaction medium and a liquid stream from one cabinet.

Spectral range300–1650 cm⁻¹ or 300–3500 cm⁻¹
Spectral resolution8 cm⁻¹
Acquisition time5–300 s
DetectorBack-thinned CCD, TEC-cooled
Measurement channelsUp to 2 as standard, more on request
Industrial protocolModbus
CalibrationAutomatic, against a reference integrated in the probe
Laser lifetimeMin. 2 years
Operating conditions0–45 °C; 20–70% RH, non-condensing; warm-up 30 min
Power230 V AC, 50/60 Hz, grounded; 300 W
Spectrally X1 PROBE mounted on a process flange

02 · Spectrally X1 PROBE

The part of the system that sits in your medium.

An immersion probe for liquids, suspensions and slurries in vessels and lines, in batch or continuous operation, with a dedicated configuration for powders and granulates. The retractable self-cleaning module keeps the window clear while the analyzer stays in service.

Probe typeImmersion, fiber-optic connection to the analyzer
Process pressureUp to 16 bar
Process temperature−40 to +125 °C
Process pH2–10 continuous; 1–14 short-term
Ingress protectionIP67
Wetted materials316L stainless steel, fused-silica window, chemically resistant epoxy
Process connectionsFlange DN32/40/50 PN16; ANSI 1¼″/1½″/2″ Class 150; NPT male 1¼″; Tri-Clamp 1½″ and 2″; custom design
CleaningRetractable self-cleaning module: automatic retract, rinse and return cycle
03Spectrally OS

From raw spectrum to a value your operators act on.

Spectrally OS turns spectra into reaction progress, solvent content and powder flags, checks each spectrum against the batch specification and keeps the record on the analyzer.

Predictive modelsHybrid of neural networks (CNN) and classical chemometrics (PLS, PCA)
Spectral databaseProprietary and public, approx. 28,000 spectra
Operator interfaceSpectrallyUI, touchscreen
Data exportCSV / PDF / RAW
User managementRole-based access control (RBAC)
Data storageLocal database; measurement and logging continue without network
Industrial protocolModbus to PLC, DCS, MES, SCADA or LIMS

Flags with the numbers

PASS/FAIL classification, anomaly detection and alarms against your grade specification, sent to the PLC or DCS.

A logged model lifecycle

Calibration, validation and maintenance: models start in the feasibility study, are retrained on your production data and re-calibrated when a recipe changes. Every change is logged.

⇄

One software layer, lab to line

Models move between Spectrally X1 LAB, X1 PORTABLE and X1 INLINE, so the model built during feasibility is the starting point for the line model, which is then retrained on your production data.

04Raman next to the methods you know

The differences are physical.

Four points that matter for a polymer built in a liquid phase, and two that stay with the lab.

Common method
Inline Raman · Spectrally X1 INLINE
A pulled sample per check, prepared and carried to the lab
✓A reading about every 5 s, in the vessel or the line
Infrared: water and polar solvents absorb strongly
✓Solvent and polymer bands in one Raman spectrum
NIR: broad, overlapping bands
✓Narrow, bond-specific bands a model can assign
Separate tests for solvent and for polymer
✓Solvent and polymer read from the same spectrum
Stays with the lab
part properties

Tensile, wear and thermal properties depend on molding and post-cure, and stay on your lab methods.

Scoped in the study
carbon and graphite

Carbon-fiber and graphite-filled compounds absorb strongly; the study sets which grades the fingerprint check covers.

Your lab methods remain the analytical reference. The accuracy for Torlon® process streams comes from the feasibility study on your samples, measured against your lab methods.
