Color, clarity and consistency. These are just three characteristics that operators can monitor with a sight glass observation port when processing food or beverage products. A sight glass window can supply a visual means to ensure proper blending or mixing, accurate measurements and adherence to stringent quality standards.
Process Observation Solutions: LJ Star Design Capabilities Enable Sight Glass Window Customization
The best process observation window might not be in a catalogue or sitting on a warehouse shelf. It might exist as an idealistic drawing on the back of a napkin. Or the opposite of ideal might be expressed in an email, as mounting frustration related to sight glass windows that repeatedly fail, bringing production to a halt and necessitating continual replacement orders.
The team at LJ Star can help guide the process of designing and fabricating custom orders for sight glass windows to make it easy for you to turn idealistic concepts into viable reality and end your frustrations. We can help analyze your process observation parameters and work collaboratively on a new design that best fits the needs of your operation. Getting started, it helps to understand some of the factors that demand a custom approach and which options can get the sight glass observation port from a sketch into operation.
Since it was developed in the 1970s, METAGLAS® has been known as the safest sight glass in the world. A number of chemical and manufacturing companies collaborated to create METAGLAS, and to establish the standard with which it complies and by which all other sight glass is measured, a standard now called DIN7079.
