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.
