Dear Reader,
A warm hello from all of us at Rheonics! 👋
We’ve packed this edition with a bit of everything: a look at our recent battery-research work, two fresh pages on our site, some genuinely useful application reads, and — new this time — a heads-up on the events where you’ll be able to meet us in person.
Thanks for reading,
The Rheonics Team
In case you missed it 📢
1. Real-time battery electrode slurry quality monitoring
Yesterday, August 24th, we presented a poster at Swiss Battery Days, held at ETH Zurich, on one of today’s hottest topics: keeping battery electrode slurry consistent in real time. Batteries power everything from smartphones to EVs to renewable energy storage, and as demand climbs, so does the need for high-quality, efficient, and safe production. Our poster, presented by Dr. Vijoya Sa, looked at how inline measurement helps manufacturers get there.
A few things we walked through:
Where our SRV and SRD inline meters actually sit on the plant floor
Our patented BTR (Balanced Torsional Resonator) technology: vibration-immune, hermetically sealed, plug-and-play, with no moving parts
Real installations, from mixing tanks to dry-electrode extrusion QA/QC
With demand for batteries climbing across smartphones, EVs, and renewable energy storage, consistent, efficient, and safe production matters more than ever — and that starts with knowing your slurry in real time.
2. One sensor, any fitting
August is almost over, have you decided which sensor fits your process?
We shared a reminder that standardizing your measurement shouldn't mean re-piping the plant. Whether you need DIN 11851, G ½", NPT, Tri-Clamp, Varinline, or any other process connection, the Type-SR Sensors offer the exact fitting for your existing setup — with the same reliable electronics and software behind every one. One sensor to train on. Consistent numbers across every line.
New on our site: two new pages worth a look. 🌐
1. E4: SME-BOX — your lab measurement setup, all in one box
Meet the SME-BOX, our all-in-one electronics enclosure built for the lab. Inside a single unit you get an industrial PC, configured sensor electronics, and Rheonics software — preinstalled and ready to run.
Plug and go — power it (110/220 V AC), connect your sensor, and the built-in PC boots straight into the software
Connects to anything — Ethernet, Wi-Fi, RS-232, and RS-485 on the back panel
Windows 10 IoT + Rheonics Control Panel preloaded
Compact & portable — with a capacitive touchscreen up front
2. SlurrySense — freshly updated page
Our SlurrySense (SLS) page just got a refresh. If you deal with slurries that cake up on everything, take another look: self-cleaning CleanWave™ technology, continuous inline viscosity and density, and the new streamlined design for simpler mechanical and pneumatic mounting — all in one place.

Mark your calendar: meet Rheonics at events! 📅
We’re trying something new, giving you a heads-up on upcoming events well in advance, so you can plan a visit. We’ll keep this section updated with new events as they come, so check back each edition. Here’s where you’ll find the Rheonics team next:
🛢️ SPE ATCE 2026
Oct 21–23 · Houston, TX, USA · Booth 1209
One of the largest technical events for the global oil & gas (E&P) industry, gathering 5,300+ professionals and 150+ exhibitors. Stop by Booth 1209 to talk real-time viscosity and density monitoring for energy and production applications. 👉 LEARN MORE
🏭 73rd ICI Technical Conference & Equipment Expo
Oct 25–28 · Grand Rapids, MI, USA
