Tomato pulper
Level measurement and point level detection in the tomato pulper
|
|
Process data
Measuring task:
Level measurement and point level detection
Measuring point:
Hopper
Measuring range up to:
1.5 m
Medium:
Tomatoes
Process temperature:
+10 … +60 °C
Process pressure:
0 … 0 bar
Special challenges:
Steam, buildup
Application
In the pulper, the cores and skins are separated from the pulp of the tomatoes by means of centrifugal force. To ensure that this process runs efficiently and that there is no downtime, it is important to monitor the level precisely. Limit level detection in the waste container prevents overfilling.
Your benefit
Safe
Continuous process operation and thus no backlog of tomatoes
Cost effective
No plant downtime thanks to reliable measurement
User friendly
Easy installation in confined spaces
