CBX is an optical suspended solids meter designed to measure sludge and fluff blanket depth in clarifiers, thickeners, etc. in water and wastewater plants, as well in other facilities. It is possible to display measured values as text or as a graphic image of the sludge profile.
Working principle
The sensor is sent down into the clarifier/thickener and measures the suspended solids as it descends and sends the data via a communication cable to the Control Box. By submersing the sensor into the liquid you are able to obtain reliable suspended solids readings versus depth and avoid problems from foam and fluff layers in the clarifier/thickener.


Sludge blanket meter CBX is housed in a stainless steel cabinet with integral heating and fan, and is extremely suitable for installation indoors or out. The suspended solids sensor is equipped with an 11 m cable and has an inductive power supply. The current reading for suspended solids is transmitted using an optical interface. power supply and signal transfer are thus completely contact-free, which means a long
service life and a high degree of reliability.
