Special challenges
High temperatures, internal tank installations, changing media, Condensate
Application
The measuring conditions inside a reaction vessel in a multi-product, multi-line production facility are characterized by changing media as well as widely fluctuating temperatures and pressures. Depending on the properties of the raw materials, either alloy, stainless steel or enamel lined vessels are used. Different components like stirrers, dryers and centrifuges also vary in each process. To ensure reliable operation and high productivity, both level and pressure have to be continuously measured and monitored.
Your benefit
Reliable
Certified hygienic design (3A/EHEDG) and approved materials according to EC 1935/2004 and FDA
Cost effective
Three instruments deliver four different measured values: pressure (head pressure and line pressure), level and temperature
User friendly
Standardized adjustment, process data storable and transferable
