🍺NEW Case Study: Efficient & cost-effective beer filtration monitoring with the ITM-4DW
Ensuring beer clarity, stability, and shelf life demands uncompromising filtration performance, but monitoring filtration systems with conventional dual-angle sensors (90° + 25°) can be a major cost factor. That’s why a new test carried out in collaboration with a brewery in the Netherlands compared the ITM-4DW turbidity sensor against a competitor’s more expensive dual-angle device. ✅ The result? Both sensors performed equally in every test. With filtered beer, both delivered a correct flat line When changes were introduced (yeast, PVPP, silica gel/diatomaceous earth), both sensors reliably detected deflections in the measurement curves 📌 Conclusion for finished product filtration monitoring: The tests confirm that in many monitoring applications, the ITM-4 turbidity sensor is equivalent to dual-angle sensors, while being significantly more cost-effective. 📖 Read the Case Study to discover where this solution can benefit your brewery customers: Click here 🔹 Find our range of Anderson-Negele sensor solutions here: https://www.industrialtradingsolutions.com/brand/anderson-negele/ For more information, contact us – our team are always readily available to help. 📧sales@industrialtradingsolutions.com / 📞01675 621014 #ITS #AndersonNegele #DistributingSolutions #ProcessingExcellence #FlowControl #SmartSensors #TurbiditySensor #FluidHandling #Filtration #Brewery #QualityControl #BrewingInnovation #TurbidityMeasurement #FoodAndBeverageTech #CostEfficiency #ProcessAutomation
Common Mixing Problem ITS Can Help Solve – with Vak Kimsa
Mixing should be simple… but it’s often where production problems start. At Industrial Trading Solutions (ITS), we work alongside Vak Kimsa to help manufacturers improve mixing performance in hygienic industries like food & beverage, brewery, dairy, pharma and home care. Here are some of the most common mixing issues we help solve 👇 🔹 Inconsistent batches – uneven mixing affecting quality, texture or performance 🔹 Powder clumping – poor wetting, slow dissolving, stubborn lumps 🔹 Separation problems – unstable emulsions or products settling over time 🔹 Hard-to-clean systems – improving hygienic design and reducing CIP time 🔹 Over-shearing / overheating – protecting product integrity 🔹 Downtime & wrong spec – ensuring the right mixer is selected and sized properly When mixing is done properly, you don’t just improve quality – you improve efficiency, reliability and cost control too. If you’re battling mixing issues or planning a new line, feel free to message us – we’ll be happy to help. 📞01675 620914 | 📧 sales@industrialtradingsolutions.com 💻View more from Vak Kimsa on our ITS website: https://www.industrialtradingsolutions.com/brand/vak-kimsa/ #ITS #IndustrialMixing #HygienicDesign #FoodManufacturing #ProcessEngineering #VakKimsa #IndustrialTradingSolutions #PharmaManufacturing #HomeCareProducts #MixingTechnology #EngineeringSolutions #CIP #FluidHandling #ProcessingExcellence #DistributingSolutions

Get to Know Your Particles
Did you know that choosing the right filtration solution starts with your particles? Selecting a filter isn’t just a hardware choice – it’s a process decision. Hard, soft, gel-like, fibrous and abrasive particles all behave differently under flow, pressure and shear. Misread that behaviour, and the results are familiar: Clogging Premature wear Unstable or inefficient operation Understanding what’s actually moving through your system is the first step to getting filtration right. You don’t have to solve this alone. HiFlux brings decades of application know-how to help de-risk filtration choices before they impact production. It’s about understanding the process, asking the right questions, and matching the solution to real operating conditions – not guesswork. Yes, we supply filters – but more importantly, we help customers solve real production challenges. That starts with listening. Understanding the process. And finding the right solution, together. 💻Take a look through our catalogue of filtration systems: https://www.industrialtradingsolutions.com/productcategory/hiflux/ Speak to our sales team to discuss your process and find the right filtration solution: 📞01675 620914 | 📧sales@industrialtradingsolutions.com #HiFlux #ITS #ProcessingExcellence #DistributingSolutions #Filtration #ProcessEngineering #ParticleBehaviour #ProcessReliability #Manufacturing #FluidHandling #SeparationTechnology #ProductionEfficiency #EngineeringSupport #FiltrationSolutions
How to Extend the Life of Your Pipework – Practical Tips 📝
Well-maintained pipework doesn’t just support hygiene and performance, it saves money by reducing failures, downtime and premature replacement. A few smart habits can make a big difference. Correct cleaning Use CIP regimes that are effective without being excessive. Over-cleaning or incorrect parameters can accelerate wear just as much as under-cleaning. Avoid chemical incompatibility Ensure cleaning chemicals, concentrations and temperatures are compatible with your pipework material and seals to prevent corrosion and degradation. Early leak detection Small leaks often signal seal wear or joint issues. Catching them early prevents product loss, contamination risk and costly repairs. Choose the right seals Seal material selection is critical. The wrong elastomer can fail quickly under product, temperature or cleaning conditions. Set the right servicing frequency Service intervals should reflect usage, product type and cleaning intensity – not just the calendar. 🔹 At Industrial Trading Solutions (ITS), we help manufacturers protect their hygienic pipework and flow systems with the right components, advice and support. 📞01675 620914 | 📧sales@industrialtradingsolutions.com Small maintenance decisions today can prevent costly issues tomorrow. 💻 Take a look at our KMH product range and find the right solution for your system: https://www.industrialtradingsolutions.com/brand/kmh/ #KMH #HygienicEngineering #HygienicDesign #PipeworkMaintenance #ProcessEngineering #FoodAndBeverage #Pharmaceutical #CIPSystems #FlowControl #FluidHandling #Ducting #ExtendedLife #InstallationMaterial #IndustrialMaintenance #ProcessReliability #ManufacturingEfficiency #ProcessingExcellence #DistributingSolutions #ITS
