"Baur Folien" & "Tippkemper-Matrix", a strong and cooperative partnership since 2020!

Distance measurement in the biogas industry "Non-contact, precise, maintenance-free and wear-free"!

Already proven in use many times over!

At the beginning of 2020, we started a project for non-contact distance measurement between membranes in fermenters, final storage facilities and gas storage tanks in collaboration with Baur Folien from Wolfertschwenden. The distance and the geometric dimensions of the container provide a measure of the gas volume present.

As a solution, we use a laser distance sensor that has been extensively tested in the course of the project in cooperation with Baur Folien GmbH and many biogas plant operators and has been further developed to meet the necessary requirements.

Our laser measurements have proven themselves over the years and are now often used as a standard solution for the measurement tasks described.

All necessary Ex approvals are available for worldwide use and offer you maximum safety and reliability.

Below is some technical data for your information:

  • Measuring principle: Time-of-flight measurementLight used: Laser light in red, laser class 2
  • Scanning ranges: 0.05 m - 30 m, programmable to the required measuring rangeArea of application: Ex Zone 1, 2 - devices may also be used in Zone 0 due to OP approvalPower supply: 24 VDCOutputs: 4-20 mA and RS-485Design: M 42, protection class IP 67
  • Ex type of protection: Ex d (flameproof enclosure)
  • This sensor is mainly used in outdoor areas.
  • Advantages: Ex approval according to ATEX, IECEx, simple and customer-friendly setting of the required measurement parameters, lens heating to prevent condensation on the optics, laser clocking for long service life and safe operation.
