Krohne ­presents ­complete ­portfolio for the beverage ­industry

February 2015 Sensors & Transducers

Krohne recently presented its complete portfolio of solutions for beverage applications. In addition to the measurement of volume and mass flow for process and filling machine applications, level, pressure and temperature measurement, there is a breakthrough in analytical measurement: the Optisens series complemented by the new Smartsens range.

Smartsens is the first family of 2-wire loop powered analytical sensors with integrated transmitter technology. Any sensor can be connected directly to the process control system, featuring direct communication via 4-20 mA/HART. Optisens as well as Smartsens are also available as hygienic versions.

In the area of the tank and silo management, eg, for cereals, sugar or milk, Krohne presents its Optiwave and Optiflex level measuring solutions for continuous monitoring of stocks.

Energy management according to EN 50001 is an important issue for energy intensive businesses such as breweries and dairies: Krohne offers solutions for the monitoring of auxiliary circuits such as hot and cold water, steam, compressed air or burner consumption measurement.

Another highlight is Optiquad, a spectroscopic analysis system for inline measurement of ingredients. Optiquad M can be used for the inline measurement of protein, fat and lactose in milk products, while Optiquad WW is used for continuous inline measurement of chemical oxygen demand (COD) in dairy wastewater.
