Sensor solutions for stable process control in homogenization
Precise pressure, flow and temperature control for consistent product quality
In dairy products, beverages and other food products, fat stabilization is achieved by breaking down droplets and distributing them evenly throughout the product using a homogenizer. Stable, efficient operation requires tight control of pressure, flow and product temperature.
Precision for stable pressure
We ensure precise measurement of high pressure at the homogenizer inlet and outlet for effective breakdown of fat globules and a consistent product texture.
Proven durability for demanding environments
Our robust, hygienic sensors operate reliably under the high-pressure, high-vibration conditions of homogenization, ensuring minimum downtime.
Real-time data for continuous process monitoring
Fast, repeatable measurement values allow process parameters to be adjusted instantly, ensuring uninterrupted homogenization and consistent product quality.
Homogenizer monitoring
Product passed through a high-pressure homogenizer requires precise, repeatable process conditions to break down fat droplets and distribute them evenly throughout the volume. This relies on three critical measurement tasks:
-
compress
Homogenization pressure — Precise monitoring of high pressure at the homogenizer inlet and outlet is required for effective breakdown of fat globules and a consistent product texture.
-
water
Flow rate — Continuous monitoring of flow rate is required to ensure a stable product feed and even distribution at the homogenization head.
-
thermostat
Product temperature — Precise measurement and control of product temperature is required to maintain proper fat fluidity and maximize homogenization efficiency.
