Process data
Measuring task:
Pressure and point level measurement
Measuring point:
Container and pipeline
Measuring range up to:
2 m
Medium:
Milk, whey and curds
Process temperature:
+20 … +95 °C
Process pressure:
0 … +2.5 bar
Special challenges:
Aseptic process fittings, temperature fluctuations
Application
The milk is mixed with the cultures and the rennet and fed into the cheese vat. The milk is then coagulated at a constant temperature of +35 °C. After it has solidified, the curd is cut. The whey is then pumped out through a pipeline. The curd is removed for further processing. Reliable point level detection prevents dry run.
