Flow Sensors
How can flow sensors and flow switches optimise processes, ensure product quality, and save costs?
Flow meters for the precise determination of the quantity, volume or speed of media flowing into systems are the basis for safe and efficient processes in almost all applications in the food and beverage industry.
Typical examples are
- accurate dosing when mixing beverages or dairy products
- recipe control for mixed or soft drinks
- monitoring of production processes in breweries or CIP systems
- high-precision control of bottling lines
Flow switches are used in almost all production plants to monitor the plant’s technical safety and the correct operation of the processes. A possible malfunction of a pump, a closed valve, or a misdirected medium is reliably detected and signalled.
With various technologies, Anderson-Negele flow sensors and flow switches offer a suitable measuring system for every application, every process, and every fluid:
- Magnetic-inductive flow meters for media with minimum conductivity >5 μS/cm
- Turbine flow meters for all aqueous media, regardless of conductivity
- Ultrasonic flow switches for all media with turbidity > 1 NTU or particles > 50 μm
- Calorimetric flow switches for all aqueous media, even high-purity fluids, independent of conductivity
How can a flow sensor save costs?
Measuring the quantity or volume with the highest accuracy can directly save costs due to loss prevention and better use of resources. Indirectly a cost reduction is achieved by recipe optimisation and improved control of the blending process. The specified quantities of the valuable resources are precisely adhered to so that the final product can be produced in an optimal and reproducible way in precisely the desired quality.
How can a flow switch save costs?
Flow switches are primarily used to control costs by minimizing risks. If a medium does not flow in a process due to a system error, this can cause significant damage. Pumps may run dry, CIP processes may not run according to specifications, mixing, and filling processes may be disrupted, all of which can lead to high plant or product damage. With flow switches, such malfunctions are immediately detected, and countermeasures can be initiated.
