Krohne Inc. highlights the advanced hygienic applications of the Optiswitch 6500 to the food and beverage industries. The capacitance level switch provides a minimally invasive solution for point level detection of liquids, liquid-liquid interfaces, and solids. Its unique features make it an ideal choice for businesses in the food and beverage industry, which require accurate detection that is also highly hygienic.

A key feature that makes the Optiswitch 6500 highly valuable in the food and beverage industry is its wide variety of available hygienic process connections. Unaffected by foam, condensate, or build-up, the product can be set to detect foam, or even changes in media characteristics of the same liquid. The product is also resistant to CIP and SIP agents, which are often used in food and beverage operations.

The Optiswitch 6500 can be installed in any position, maintenance-free, achieving very fast response times. The product is also fully compliant with FDA and EC1935/2004, in addition to being EHEDG and 3A certified, all of which are crucial standards for businesses in the food and beverage industry.

Typical applications of the Optiswitch 6500 range from small tanks in hygienic applications to tanks with tough, pasty, or strongly adhesive media. The product can also provide block prevention, overflow protection, dry-run and pump protection in tanks. A range of detections, from interface detection to high and low-level detection to detection of foam, are all achievable with this hygienic switch. Whether your business is operating a brewery, a burger factory, or any form of food and beverage operation, the Optiswitch 6500 provides accurate, hygienic, and compliant detection to enable safe and successful production.

Krohne introduces new flowmeter for use in milk reception with entrained gas

sarahm — Fri, 05 Mar 2021 15:34:17 +0000

Krohne, a global manufacturer and supplier of solutions in industrial process instrumentation, has introduced an application of its OPTIMASS 1400 C Coriolis mass flowmeter for use in milk reception with entrained gas. One example of this application is the installation at the Chile-based milk dairy Surlat. This application can also be found in every similar facility around the world where trucks deliver fresh raw milk from local sources. The meter reduces time and costs required for unloading aerated milk from road tankers and provides continuous and reliable flow measurement, eliminating unplanned shutdowns caused by equipment failure.

Made of stainless steel and with hygienic Tri-Clamp connections, the Krohne twin straight tube (DN50) Coriolis OPTIMASS 1400 C mass flowmeter helps the dairy processing plant accurately measure milk quantities at the raw milk reception. Featuring Entrained Gas Management (EGM), the OPTIMASS 1400 C provides reliable readings even in the event of gas entrainment in the foamy raw milk. Foam produced due to movement and vibration of large road tankers delivering milk had caused other meters to completely stop measuring – interrupting unloading and even causing commercial disputes over the quantity of milk delivered.

The meter enables continuous and uninterrupted measurement of volume flow and mass, density, and temperature – even at difficult milk reception process conditions with 2-phase flow. Maintaining operation over a wide range of gas fractions and complex flow conditions, the OPTIMASS 1400 C is certified for hygienic use. Available from DN15…100 / ½…4-inches, and with a maximum of PN100/ASME Cl 600, it comes with many hygienic fittings. It features 3 x 4…20 mA, HART7, FF, Profibus-PA/DP, Modbus, PROFINET, and Bluetooth.
