Process data
Measuring task:
Pressure and point level measurement
Measuring point:
Pipeline, separator
Measuring range up to:
+2.5 bar
Medium:
Raw milk, cream, skimmed milk, solid particles
Process temperature:
+50 … +60 °C
Process pressure:
0 … +2 bar
Special challenges:
Easy to clean, foaming when the solids are discharged
Application
After the raw milk has been heat treated, it is cleaned in the separator and separated into the components cream and skimmed milk. The raw milk and cream are brought back together again in mixtures that depend on the desired fat content. To ensure a continuous supply of raw milk to the separator, the pressure in the raw milk supply line is monitored. The pressure in the skimmed milk and cream outlets is also regulated to ensure uniformity and standardisation. A point level detection system monitors the separated solid particles, such as the dirt or bacteria that settle to the bottom of the separator, and controls the cleaning processes.
