Inline Analysis of Beverage Ingredients

- Plato, Brix, alcohol, extract and whey -

The LiquiSonic® analyzer system from SensoTech inhibits some new special features for use in the food and dairy production :

  • 3-A-certification for the LiquiSonic® sensors, of particular importance in the dairy production
  • additional analyzer function "EXtrACT-Totalizer" for use in breweries. The sensors are directly integrated into the brewing process by mounting the sensors into the pipelines of the lauter tun, wort cooler, filter or filler. A bypass is not necessary. At the wort boiler a long sensor will be installed directly into the vessel.

The several processes of beverage production
can be significantly optimized by using inline analytical measuring technology. For example, to improve evaporations, phase separations, blendings or fillings, the concentrations in beer and wine, mixed and soft drinks, juices and liquid dairy products can be monitored.
In the fruit juice and soft drink production usually the Brix content will be analyzed, whereas in dairies the whey or dry matter content is important. In wine making, quality parameters are the extract or alcohol concentration.
For the production of instant or liquid coffee the focus is on the concentration of extract and dry matter. In breweries, the inline analyzer measures the content of original gravity (Plato), extract or alcohol. The sensors are directly integrated into the brewing process by mounting the sensors into the pipelines of the lauter tun, wort cooler, filter or filler. A bypass is not necessary. At the wort boiler a long sensor will be installed directly into the vessel.

The LiquiSonic® analyzers of SensoTech
measure the various concentrations

with high precision, continuously and in real time.
The measuring results proved an accuracy of ±0.05 %
and will be updated every second.

If the results are utside of the defined production range, a signal will be sent immediately to initiate timely countermeasures. This ensures not only a high beverage quality and process reliability, but also avoids costs caused by failed batches. In addition, the inline beverage analyzer enables an efficient control of the raw material and energy consumption. For automated control, the measuring results ​​can be transferred to the process control system via analog or digital outputs, via fieldbus such as Profibus DP or via Ethernet.

A LiquiSonic® analyzer
consists of one or more sensors and one controller.
The sensors meet the high hygienic requirements of the beverage and food industry and are easy to integrate into any plant system. To determine the concentration, sonic velocity is used as physical value. This measuring method provides extremely fast, accurate and stable results. Due to the robustness and insensitivity to contamination the analyzer is maintenance-free and long-term operating.

The controller displays the measuring results ​​and shows clear trend views. The results can be analyzed with the controller or by network integration directly with the PC. Secure remote control options make an access to the device from different locations and computers possible. This ensures maximum flexibility and online information about the process status.

 

The LiquiSonic® inline analyzer of SensoTech measures the concentration of ingredients in the production of beer, wine, fruit juices, soft drinks or
dairy products.
