DEAlcohol as an additive
Alcohol supply station
Various alcoholic beverages can be added to confections to improve their flavor. These liquids are stored in separate rooms and, when needed, pumped over a ring main with approx. +1.4 bar pressure directly to the appropriate stirring vessel. Due to the high alcohol content as well as the storage and processing temperature of +20 °C, the alcohol storage area is classified as a hazardous zone (Ex zone 1).
Level measurement in the alcohol tank
The level in the 1.5 m high alcohol tanks is measured hydrostatically by a VEGABAR 53 pressure transmitter mounted at the bottom. Due to the remote housing, the sensor can be adjusted and its measured values read out even in this explosion-endangered environment.
Overfill protection with VEGASWING 63
A VEGASWING 63 is installed in the lid of the stainless steel tank to monitor the upper limit level. The maintenancefree tuning fork switch reliably detects the switch-off point without being affected by the consistency of the various alcohols.
Pressure monitoring in the ring main
A VEGABAR 54 is used to monitor the feed pressure in the pipeline. The sensor allows small process fittings on the pipe and is resistant to the dynamic CIP and SIP cleaning processes.
