Alcohol as additive
|
|
Alcohol supply station
Different alcoholic beverages can be added to confections to improve their flavor. These liquids are stored in separate rooms and, when needed, are pumped over a ring main with approx. 1.4 bar (20 psig) directly to the appropriate stirring vessel. Due to the high alcohol content as well as the storage and processing temperature of 20 °C (68 °F) the alcohol storage area is classified as Ex zone 1.
|
Level measurement in the alcohol tank
The filling level in the alcohol tanks, which are 1.5 m (4.9 ft) high and hold approx. 1.2 cubic meters (42 ft3), is measured by a VEGABAR 54 pressure transmitter mounted at the bottom. The remote housing makes easy adjustment and reading of the sensor possible 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 maintenance-free tuning fork switch reliably detects the switching point without being affected by the consistency of the various alcohols.

Monitoring conveyance pressure in the ring main
A VEGABAR 53 is used to monitor the conveyance pressure in the pipeline. The sensor allows small process connections on the pipe and has a high overload and vacuum resistance that can withstand pressure and vacuum shocks in the pipeline.
