TurBiScat PM 40 - Where precision meets simplicity

The quality of every great beer begins with control – and is perfected through precision.

With the TurBiScat PM 40, precision meets simplicity. Designed specifically for the needs of modern breweries, this state-of-the-art inline measuring instrument delivers highly accurate turbidity readings, optional color measurement, and an intuitive user experience that sets new industry standards.


Measuring Principle
Dual-angle turbidity measurement – clarity at every stage of brewing:
  • 90° measurement for fine colloidal turbidity – ideal for quality control of filtered beer
  • 25° measurement for coarser particulate turbidity – perfect for filter monitoring and lautering processes

By combining both measurement angles, the TurBiScat PM 40 offers unmatched flexibility throughout your production line. Its VARINLINE connection and integrated display make installation quick and easy, while its mobility allows use at multiple measurement points as needed.

The result: instant detection of filter breakthroughs, faster corrective action, and the prevention of costly downtime – keeping your production smooth and efficient.


Optional Color Measurement
Color consistency, directly in the process: Optionally, the TurBiScat PM 40 measures beer color at 430 nm – inline and in real time. This ensures consistent color from batch to batch, without the delays and costs of laboratory analysis.


Operation and Configuration
Smart operation – your way:
  1. Directly on the device – view measurements, status history, and perform recalibrations with ease.
  2. Via smartphone or tablet – access all settings through an intuitive interface and visualize turbidity values as data or trends at a glance.


Maintenance
Easy maintenance – maximum uptime: All key maintenance tasks, including recalibration and sensor verification, can be carried out directly on the device. That means less downtime, more productivity, and consistent quality in every batch.

Conclusion
The TurBiScat PM 40 is more than a measuring device – it’s a key to consistent quality, optimized processes, and reliable production. Combining cutting-edge technology with effortless usability, it’s the perfect choice for breweries that demand nothing less than perfection.

Market launch of PhaseGuard ST 40 and TurbiGuard AD 40

Sigrist is pleased to present the new PhaseGuard ST 40 and TurbiGuard AD 40. These new devices will replace the previous models and offer numerous improvements and innovative functions.


Available models:

  • TurbiGuard AD 40 S1XX-0000.000: For medium and high turbidity.
  • PhaseGuard ST 40:
    • S2XX-0000.000: For medium and high turbidity
    • H2XX-8000.000: For very high turbidity levels


Areas of application
PhaseGuard ST 40:
  • Phase separation yeast/beer
  • Separator control for yeast separation
  • Dosing of kieselguhr

TurbiGuard AD 40:

  • Turbidity measurement on the lauter tun and whirlpool
  • At the separator
  • Before the kieselguhr filter or PVPP filter
  • Yeast dosage and yeast propagation


Important innovations and advantages of the new devices
Integrated display: Like all our new generation devices, the new models have an integrated colour display that directly visualises the turbidity value (TurbiGuard AD 40) or the device status (PhaseGuard ST 40).

Advanced user interface and simple parameterisation: In addition to displaying values, the main installation and maintenance operations can now also be carried out directly on the photometer. Advanced operation is simple using a smartphone or tablet via a point-to-point connection to PhaseGuard ST 40 or TurbiGuard AD 40.

New measuring head: Both devices are based on the established absorption measuring principle. The measuring head is based on the proven design, but has been redesigned and further improved in important details.

Process connection: The connection is still made via a VARINLINE connection. The new photometers are slightly smaller than their predecessors, which makes them easier to replace in the field.

Greater choice of communication options for process control: As before, analogue current interfaces (0/4...20 mA) are available, supplemented by all the new interfaces of the EdGe platform. (Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, Profibus DP, Profinet IO, PoE).

With these new devices, we are continuing the success story of the PhaseGuard and TurbiGuard and continue to offer our customers reliable and innovative solutions.

We are convinced that these new devices will offer significant added value for applications. If you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Water

Consorci d'Aigües de Tarragona (CAT) / Spain

The latest European Directive 2020/2184 established turbidity as a basic control parameter for the quality of drinking water. In anticipation of the new regulations, the Sigrist distribution partner in Spain, teqma, has worked with the Consorci d'Aigües de Tarragona (CAT), the water consortium of the city of Tarragona, to renew its turbidimeters. Tarragona is in the province of Tarragona with 860,000 inhabitants.

CAT installed the AquaScat 2 WTM from the Swiss company Sigrist-Photometer AG at the various measuring points of the treatment plant and the distribution network.

The AquaScat 2 WTM turbidity meter measures the turbidity in the free-falling water jet and thus enables a high resolution and accurate measurement down to low turbidity values of 0.001 FNU.

Consorci d'Aigües de Tarragona

»Due to the high resolution (0.001 FNU) allowing early detection of changes in water quality, low maintenance and easy calibration, the Sigrist turbidimeter turned out to be the measuring device we were looking for our water supply.«

Traffic & Environment

Road tunnel Gotthard / Switzerland

Since September 2007, a total of 210 Sigrist smoke detectors of the type FireGuard are in use in the Gotthard tunnel and its approach tunnels. Together with additional sensors such as linear fire alarm cables, flow measurement devices etc., the smoke detectors are the basis for the early detection of smoke and fire events.

In September 2016, after a period of use of 9 years, Mr. Werner Furrer, head of the Office for the Operation of National Roads (Switzerland), summarized their experience with the FireGuards as follows:

  • On average, there was one event per month, which was detected without fault
  • In a smoke event, the FireGuard is always the fastest system
  • No false alarms owing to correct parameterisation

»We have had no failures so far. Sigrist FireGuard smoke detectors are very reliable.«

Water Reuse

ARA Neugut / Switzerland

The revised Water Protection Act, which came into effect on January 1, 2016, mandates for the elimination of micropollutants in wastewater. As a pioneering plant, ARA Neugut has been operating an ozone plant since 2014, where such micropollutants are successfully eliminated.

The installed ColorPlus 2 system ensures continuous measurement of UV absorbance at 254nm before and after the ozone reactor. This enables ARA Neugut to monitor the elimination performance and thus add ozone as needed. Additionally, the ColorPlus 2 system also performs an automatic cleaning every 3 to 4 hours to prevent biofilm growth and guarantee reliable measured values at all times.
