Enhance your beverage production

For over 40 years, Baumer has been a solution partner alongside global players and local beverage companies. Our hygienic sensors, designed for performance and built for durability, operate reliably in explosive silo environments, under the high temperatures of a flash pasteurizer, or at the speed of the filling line. By providing precise insight into the true condition of your machinery across the entire value chain, we increase efficiency and process reliability without compromising quality or food safety — so you can focus on your machines and your beverage.

Sensor solutions for your beverage production process

CIP (Clean-in-Place) systems

Inline sensor solutions developed specifically for CIP monitor key parameters such as conductivity, temperature, flow and pressure, addressing every dimension of the Sinner circle to deliver significant savings in time, energy and resources.

Filtration

Efficient, cost-effective separation and maximum availability require tight control of pressure, flow and conductivity. This ensures stable process conditions and enables detection of fouling and membrane wear.

Flash pasteurization

Fast, precise temperature, flow and pressure measurement unaffected by high temperatures plays a key role in ensuring food safety, energy efficiency and minimal thermal damage (the triple target).

Filling and packaging

A broad portfolio of process, optical and smart vision sensors, together with encoders and camera systems, enables flexible, fully automated filling and packaging of every type of beverage.

Solids handling

Transparency in inventory levels, smooth transfer and blockage detection are achieved with full traceability, using smart, robust sensor technology that also meets solids Ex standards.

Liquids handling

From intake to processing and storage, precise level, temperature, pressure and flow sensors create process transparency. They provide real-time stock levels while guaranteeing full traceability and uninterrupted beverage production with minimal losses.

Intralogistics

Combining position, distance and speed measurement with object detection and identification sensors enables fully automated, optimized management of material flows in your warehouse.

Homogenization

Stabilizing and improving a beverage's mouthfeel, color and texture is achieved by breaking down and distributing its particles. Stable operation requires tight control of pressure, flow and product temperature.

Dissolving

The controlled addition, efficient dissolving and mixing of components within a liquid, using a high-shear mixer under partial vacuum, is achieved with pressure, flow, temperature and level sensors as well as encoders.

Certifications and approvals

Baumer sensors are certified in compliance with all international design and material standards relevant to the food and beverage industry. Internal processes at Baumer are certified in compliance with DIN ISO 9000 requirements and approved accordingly. Hygienic sensors are designed, developed and manufactured in compliance with 3-A and EHEDG guidelines to guarantee the highest standards in food production.

An end-to-end development process, from the initial concept phase through to series production, is continuously validated by our customers' actual use. Sensor protection is a key element in this context: our sensors comply with IP69 protection class and undergo additional testing according to our internal proTect+ standard for maximum reliability and durability.
