Process data
Measuring task:
Level, pressure measurement and point level detection
Measuring point:
Tank/pipe
Measuring range up to:
5 m
Medium:
Milk
Process temperature:
+1 … +150 °C
Process pressure:
+0.5 … +2 bar
Special challenges:
Stringent hygienic requirements
Application
The incoming raw milk is stored at a temperature of about 4 °C and stirred gently at all times to ensure it is kept until it is forwarded for further processing. As well as measuring the level in the vessel, the milk is protected against contamination with an overpressure. Point level detection prevents any overfilling of the raw milk tank.
