The food, drinking industries are usually characterized by a high water consumption and considerable waste water dis-charge volumes.
For this reason, they face significant costs for water supply and trade effluent disposal. In addition to that, there are pumping, water and effluent treatment costs to be considered.
Expenses for water supply and waste disposal, increased global competition in Food & Drinking industry, rising of raw material prices and energy supply rates drive the importance of having more efficient and optimized production processes.
For these reasons, almost every type of business in the food, drinking industry should monitor its liquid flow processes in greater detail.
内部流动过程的监控和水分r supply and discharge lines requires flow meters to be retrofitted or spot measurement to be carried out as part of site surveys. The instruments required for these tasks have to be flexible, hygienic, quick to install and easy to operate.
Due to their contactless using ultrasonic flow measurement technique, low response time, and the high temperature tolerance of the flow sensors,PanametricsUltrasonic clamp-on flow meters are ideal to monitor CIP (clean in place) flushes specially with CIP using Ozone liquid which normally can damage other types of on line meter (Mag meters)
Companies of the food and drink industry employ large scale automated production systems. It is therefore important that every new measurement equipment can easily be integrated using different analog O/P’s & Digital communication protocols
Externally mounted sensors mean thatPanametricsUltrasonic clamp-on flow meters will not cause any pressure drop across the measurement location and bear no risk of leakage at any time.
Typical applications forPanametricsUltrasonic clamp-on flow meters:
• Pump, valve and inline flow meter performance verification
• Heat quantity measurement on heating and chilling lines
• Water and raw material consumption monitoring
• Flow metering of liquid products and ingredients
• Monitoring of CIP flush processes
• Pump and valve controlling
• Metering of discharges
• Site surveys
Panametricsclamp-on ultrasonic flow meters has therefore proven to be the ideal solutions for food, drinking industry.
Panametrics Solutions
Panametrics有一个广泛的夹在流量计使用ultrasonic measurement using transient time technique, the clamp-on flow meter modelAT600is a permanent, cost effective in installation and operation. The permanent clamp-on flow meter modelDF868have advanced features like build in energy measurement and data logging capability Additionally, asPanametricsnot only offer fixed installation but also portable clamp on Ultrasonic flow meter modelPT900which can be used for several purposes and applications regardless of the type of fluid, pipe material or diameter.
Apart from the fact that pipes do not have to be modified or cut to install clamp-on flow meters which avoids costly downtimes, there are further advantages of contactless flow measurement for the food, drink industries.
