description The demand for high separation efficiency needs an advanced device that can be installed in the separation machinery. Parameters in the separation system, such as feeding flow rate and rotational speed, influence the sedimentation formation.

The main focus is to observe the particle sedimentation thickness in the specific positions inside an industrial-scale centrifuge. This wireless instrument has an excellent performance in ultra-high rotation operating speed due to its lightweight and flexibility. WERD transmitted the measured resistance to the processing PC, which then processed the data using the particle thickness formula.
