As the sensors are fitted to the outside of the pipework, there is no direct contact with the product. Potential entry points for germs or contaminants are completely eliminated. This helps ensure compliance with strict hygiene requirements, internal quality standards, and external audits and certifications.
Ultrasonic Flow Measurement for Hygienic and Cost-Effective Production Processes
In the food and drink industry, operators face the challenge of balancing the highest hygiene standards with continuous production and economic efficiency. At the same time, water, energy and wastewater costs are among the biggest cost drivers in production.
Benefits of Using Katronic Ultrasonic Flowmeters in the Food and Drink Industry
Katronic’s clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeters enable non-invasive monitoring of all relevant media flows without interrupting the production process or posing any hygiene risks. This makes them ideal for use in breweries, dairies and the food and beverage processing industries.
Ensuring Maximum Hygiene and Product Integrity
Installation without Production Downtime
Katronic clamp-on flowmeters can be installed whilst the plant is in operation. This completely eliminates the need for production stoppages, cleaning cycles or product losses. Particularly in plants operating continuously, this makes a significant contribution to ensuring plant availability and the stability of supply chains.
Sustainable Operational Efficiency
Apart from the initial purchase costs, there are no additional costs for pipework modifications or downtime. Some devices also allow simultaneous measurement on two pipes, thereby further reducing investment and operating costs. The result is a low total cost of ownership (TCO) over the entire life cycle.
