MagModule II

Industrial process IMR analyzer

The Mag Module™ II Industrial Magnetic Resonance (IMR) process analyzer automatically measures multiple chemical and physical properties of polymer materials. Typical applications include XS, C2, FM, and Charpy (PP), as well as density (PE).

This proven technology is available for installation in both hazardous and non-hazardous locations. Rapid, non-destructive analyses of powders, pellets, or slurries are provided continuously with results directly communicated to the plant Distributed Control System (DCS). High performance data analysis methodology provides reliable measurement of process parameters for Advanced Process
Control (APC).

The Mag Module II is a complete solution designed for harsh industrial conditions, and includes fully automated sample extraction, sample handling, data analysis, software control, and plant interface. Domestic and international hazardous area safety certifications provide customers with the confidence for commercial implementation and long-term operational safety of LexMar Global IMR products
