Reaction vessel with agitator
Level measurement during the production of chewing gum base
Process data
Measuring task
Level measurement
Measuring point
Reaction vessel
Measuring range up to
7.5 m
Medium
Polyvinyl acetate
Process temperature
+120 … +150 °C
Process pressure
+1.2 … +1.5 bar
Special challenges
Low dielectric constant, turbulence
Application
Production of polyvinyl acetate – the base material for chewing gum – is carried out in a reaction vessel with a four stage agitator. The various raw materials begin to react when they are mixed by the agitator. To ensure smooth production, accurate level measurement is required.
Your benefit
Reliable
Certified materials according to FDA and EC 1935/2004 regulations
Cost effective
Easy cleaning of the vessel
User friendly
Simple installation through existing ball valves
