The IRmat provides continuous monitoring of water surfaces and detects even the smallest traces of oil using advanced infrared technology. Its high sensitivity and low-maintenance design make it ideal for industrial applications where early detection of oil contamination is essential.
The IRmat uses infrared technology to continuously monitor water surfaces. Infrared light is directed onto the water surface, where water absorbs most of the radiation while oil and other organic substances reflect it. By analyzing the reflected infrared signals, the sensor reliably detects even thin oil films with high accuracy.

The IRmat features non-contact measurement, enabling reliable, low-maintenance operation in enclosed installations. Its high sensitivity allows it to detect even the smallest traces of oil at an early stage, ensuring maximum operational safety. Factory calibration and durable infrared LED technology enable fast installation and long-term, dependable performance with minimal maintenance requirements.
Fixed installation is a straightforward method for mounting the sensor. The sensor can be installed using either a mounting frame or a support arm. A constant water level is essential for reliable operation. For optimum measurement accuracy, the water level should not fluctuate by more than ±1 cm. Optionally, fluctuations of up to ±7.5 cm can be compensated using ultrasonic water level compensation.
Pontoon installation provides a simple solution for compensating changes in water level. The floating pontoons keep the sensor at a constant distance above the water surface. This ensures reliable measurements regardless of fluctuations in the water level.
The sensor is installed on a bypass tank. A skimmer floats on the water surface and ensures that the self-priming pump continuously transfers the surface water. Floating oil is carried into the bypass tank together with the water. The tank’s free overflow maintains a constant water level, ensuring that the sensor always remains at the optimum distance from the water surface.
The IRmat measuring system consists of a sensor and an evaluation unit. The IR-21-A evaluation unit reliably processes the measurement signals from the IRmat sensor and can be calibrated to meet specific application requirements.
It is designed for the continuous monitoring of oil on water surfaces and is built for reliable long-term operation in demanding industrial environments.
