Ultrasonic Flow Measurement for Hygienic and Cost-Effective Production Processes

In the food and beverage 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.

The Benefits of Katronic Ultrasonic Flow Meters in the Food and Beverage Industry 

Katronic's clamp-on ultrasonic flow meters 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 beverage and food processing industries.

Ensuring maximum hygiene and product integrity

Since the sensors are mounted on the outside of the piping, 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.

Installation without production downtime

Katronic clamp-on flow meters can be installed during operation. This completely eliminates production downtime, cleaning cycles, and product loss. Especially in continuously operated plants, this contributes significantly to ensuring plant availability and supply chain stability.

Sustainable Operational Efficiency

Apart from the initial purchase cost, there are no additional costs for pipe modifications or downtime. Some devices also allow simultaneous measurement on two pipelines, further reducing both capital and operating costs. The result is a low total cost of ownership (TCO) over the entire life cycle.

Applications in the Food and Beverage Industry

Our clamp-on systems have a wide range of applications in this industry—we’ll present some typical examples below.
