FLOW SENSING CHALLENGES IN FOOD & BEVERAGE PRODUCTION


T


itan Enterprises offers a range of high- performance flowmeters in food grade


materials where both food hygiene and precision flow measurement are required. Flow monitoring of high viscosity


liquids requires devices such as Titan’s oval gear flowmeters. Unlike other flowmeters, measurement accuracy of oval gear flowmeters improves as the liquid viscosity increases. For low viscosity liquids, Titan’s NSF-approved 800-series and beverage flowmeters


provide a low-cost drink dispensing solution. Designed to give high performance over 6 flow ranges from 0.05 to 15 l/min, these devices have totally non-metallic NSF-approved wetted components. In processes where ingredients need to be maintained at high temperatures a flowmeter designed for applications requiring precise flow measurement at elevated temperatures would be needed. Capable of operating up to 110°C, Titan’s inline non- invasive Atrato ultrasonic flowmeter is largely immune from viscosity and offers excellent turndown and repeatability.

OKW’S SMART NEW MINI-DATA-BOX FOR MINIATURISED GO-ANYWHERE ELECTRONIC DEVICES


O


KW’s innovative and compact new MINI-DATA- BOX is ideal for miniaturised applications


including IoT/IIoT, automation, medical, security and surveillance technology, sensors and smart logistics. Its small size also makes it suitable for wearable electronics. MINI-DATA-BOX can be specified in two shapes,


either with or without flanges for screws and cable ties, enabling fast mounting to walls, ceilings, rails and masts. Each enclosure offers plenty of flat surfaces


for interfaces. The lids have distinctive bevelled corners – a ‘diamond cut’ design which reduces weight and further enhances the housings’ stylish, modern aesthetics. The tough design is assembled with tamperproof Torx screws and can be sealed up to


IP 65. Fixing supports are supplied inside for PCBs and components. MINI-DATA-BOX can be specified in 32 different models with sizes from 40 x 40 x 15


mm to 50 x 70 x 20 mm. They are moulded from UV-stable and flame-resistant ASA+PC- FR (UL 94 V-0) in traffic white or anthracite grey. OKW can supply MINI-DATA-BOX fully customised to customer requirements.

agnetrol’s revolutionary multiphase detector, Genesis, is a Time Domain Reflectometry Device (TDR) based level detector designed


to accurately define and quantify the various layers in multiple interface level measurement.


Encompassing a number of significant engineering developments from Magnetrol’s progressive engineering team, this innovative level detector can deliver a full interface profile of a vessel with performance which surpasses many of the more traditional technologies.


Utilising patented “Top -Down” and Bottom-Up” signals, long with advanced level detection algorithms, Genesis can be deployed in a wide variety of interface applications ranging from very light hydrocarbons to water-based media. For example, Genesis can be used to define the multiple interfaces in a separator vessel (Sand – water – emulsion – oil – gas) with exceptional precision and can even identify the magnitude of any emulsion layer.


The device utilises pulses of electromagnetic energy transmitted along a physical probe. From a “Top-Down” perspective, when a pulse reaches a surface that has a higher dielectric constant than air (εr = 1), a portion of the pulse is reflected. The time of flight of the pulse is then measured via high-speed timing circuitry that provides an accurate measure of the liquid level. The amplitude of the reflection depends on the dielectric constant of the product, with a higher dielectric constant yielding a larger reflection. In addition to sending high frequency energy down the probe to detect upper (or total) level, the Genesis sends energy up the probe to detect various other levels that may be present; including the top of an emulsion layer, bottom of an emulsion layer (water level) and sediment.


Magentrol’s Genesis is available from ABLE Instruments. Call on 01189 311188 or email info@able.co.uk for more information.
