Application
The incoming raw milk is stored at a temperature of about 4 °C and stirred gently at all times to ensure it is kept until it is forwarded for further processing. As well as measuring the level in the vessel, the milk is protected against contamination with an overpressure. Point level detection prevents any overfilling of the raw milk tank.
