CONTIFOAM
A universal, computer-aided system for reproducible, automated foam testing — open to existing test methods, precise in measurement, easy to integrate.
Basic Idea
The motivation behind CONTIFOAM
The basic idea behind CONTIFOAM was to develop a universal, open-architecture and computer-aided system that allows customers to perform their established — often highly specific — foam tests with significantly improved comfort through electronic data acquisition and automated control.
Goals
What CONTIFOAM delivers for your laboratory
- Automated measurement process to improve reproducibility
- Graphical presentation of results
- Data export and easy report generation
- Individual presentation of measurement results
- Reduction of personnel effort in foam testing
The CONTIFOAM System
Open, adaptable, precise
Designed as an open system that can integrate existing and established test methods:
- Universal foam height measuring device (computer-controlled)
- Test apparatus positioned between light and sensor column
- Continuous foam height measurement during formation and decay
- Online display of temperature and foam height
- Fully automated measurement process, flexibly configurable
- High-resolution, operator-independent data recording
- Easy cleaning, excellent reproducibility
- Transfer to QA systems and Excel export
- Suitable for existing and future test methods
Data Analysis & Reporting
Store, visualise, export
Measured data can be saved as a text file and imported into Excel for graphical presentation. This makes it easy to display multiple measurement series in parallel and create customer-friendly reports.
Specific evaluations (key figures) can also be derived from the foam curve to define classification characteristics.
Automatic Dosing
Optional accessories for extended testing procedures
The CONTIFOAM software can control a dosing unit in response to defined events, in order to mix additives into the pump jet in a controlled manner.
