The SciLog ChemTec™ Automated High Precision Metering

The ChemTec family of programmable metering systems which can meter by weight or by volume.  Programmable without a PC, have built-in alarms, interface with pressure sensors, scales, printers, valves, and other I/O devices to give you safe, walk-away system operation and real-time data collection/ graphing.  ChemTec can also be interfaced with a computer/network.

Available with your choice of pump heads: peristaltic, piston & magnetic gear models.  Each ChemTec includes the intelligent controller, choice of motor size and choice of pump head type.  Optional: choice of balance/scale for metering by weight; 6-port rotary valves; pressure sensor for monitoring pressure; printer for data collection; SciDoc for data compilation into Excel spreadsheet/graphs; OPC Capability with easy data transfer to your companies internal OPC client/server.
