Intelligent solutions for the Food & Beverage Industry. r j ION lit t----- .r ,., i Introduction KROHNE 3 The challenge: Intelligent solutions for the Food & Beverage Industry. To perform well, you have to be constantly improving. This is particularly true for com- panies in the food industry, and for their suppliers. This sector, more than virtually any other, requires ongoing change, sometimes with extremely short product life cycles. In the consumer market in Germany, for example, 600 new items and product vari- ants are brought out every week, according to the GfK Group. For each product, strict hygiene regulations and legal requirements must be observed. KROHNE meets these challenges, and provides its customers in this highly competi- tive market with well thought out, state of the art solutions covering all areas of mea- suring technology. This exceptionally wide range includes measuring devices for storage and interim storage, dosing and mixing of conductive and non-conductive products, bottling and dosing, and products for the area of CIP cleaning. For measuring the tank level of lemonade using radar, batch filling of PET bottles for a Large fruit juice producer or exact dosing of liquid hop extract in a large brewery-you can trust measuring devices from KROHNE to get the job done at all stages of food production, processing and refinement. You can adapt the various measuring devices with perfect hygiene using the wide range of process connectors (DIN 11851, DIN 11864, clamp, SMS). Almost all of the measuring devices can also be linked to modern communication systems, such as Profibus PA. 0, tot �.

The Konig-Brewery in Duisburg can look back on nearly 150 years of history. It was founded by Theodor Konig in 1858 in the small country town of Beeck near Duisburg. At a time when simple, top-fermented beers were the order of the day, Konig went against the general trend and decided to use the more elaborate Pilsener brewing process. The strategy worked. By 1900 the brewery was supplying a whole range of locations around Beeck and Duisburg, with an output of almost 50,000 Hectoliters. Today their output is around 1.8 Million Hectoliters. Along- side the established brands, Konig Pilsener and Konig Pilsener Alcohol-free, the beer mixer drink, Konig Pilsener Lemon, has been produced and bottled in Duisburg since March 2006. 340 highly qualified staff work day after day to ensure the success of the Konig Pilsener brand.

For seamless monitoring of the grain and malt levels, the Konig- Brewery chose the OPTIFLEX 1300 level meter from KROHNE for the silos. Their hop and malt supplies are stored in cement silos. They have a total of 23 square cement silos with a height of 22 m and a capacity of 100 t. - — The new generation of measuring devices, which measures the level in the malt silo using micro-im- pulses, combines various benefits in a compact unit. 0PTIFLEX 1300: Guided radar level meter.

The end result is that there is no uncertainty about availability and no need for partial refills, enabling optimum use of the available storage capacity. a Y I t 2 a L82 Flow measurement and dosing in the mashing kettle with OPTIFLUX 6300.

If you don't have the right temperature, you can't get anywhere with the mashing and boil- ing processes in the brewing house. That's why the TTP 200 temperature sensor from KROHNE measures and checks both processes in both the mashing kettle and the straining kettle. In the sensor tip of the TTP 200 there is a Class A PT 100 chip as standard (2-, 3- or 4-wire), which complies with EN 6075. This guarantees very fast response times, even with very short installation lengths with reduced measuring tip. These compact thermometers are avail- able with a broad range of standard signals, independent of the head-mounted transmitter selected.

Correct and precise dosing of hops is without doubt one of the key - tasks for measuring systems on the way to converting hops into the finished Pits.

The quantity of sterile air depends on the flow volume to the brewing tank, and also on the number and state of the dosed yeast cells. The H 250 variable-area flow meter from KROHNE does a first class job. The only variable-area flow meter certified by the EHEDG continuously measures the air from the wort pipe to the brewing tank at an operating pressure of up to 6 bar. Adding yeast and air, the brewing phase can now begin in the cylindrical-conical tank. The extract in the wort then turns to C 0 2 and alcohol. For bottom-fermented beers, such as pits, this process takes around 5-8 days.

The excellent measuring performance of the flow meter guarantees exact dosing of the correct quantity of water. But that is not all. Using its diagnostic func- tions, the unit controls the sensors and the electronics cyclically. The built-in diagnostic applications also in form about e.g. partial fill- ing, low conductivity and damage to the liner. Juice KROHNE 23 Continuous density and BRIX measurement of sugar syrup in the sugar dissolving station with OPTIMASS 7300. As mentioned in the section on flow measure- ment and dosing of process water in the sugar dissolving station, the exact ratio of water feed to the quantity of sugar determines the later BRIX value of the finished sugar syrup. For this reason it is vital to continuously mea- sure the density and BRIX value of the highly viscous sugar syrup in the sugar dissolving j station, to avoid variation in quality. OPTIMASS 7300 is ideally equipped for this task. As well as directly measuring the density and I mass, the device can also measure the volume and temperature of the product. r 4 c r - 24 KROHNE Juice Flow measurement of juice in the pipe and plate heat exchanger of the pasteurization unit with OPTIFLUX 6300. To increase the shelf-life of the fruit juice, it is heated to a temperature of 70 - 85 °C in a heat exchanger. The exact temperature depends on the type of juice. To ensure pasteurization, the temperature must be maintained for 15-30 sec- onds. The shelf-life of the juice has now been increased. Monitoring of flow volumes in the heat exchang- er of the pasteurization unit is very important. After all, the flow speed determines how long the juice spends in the pasteurization unit, which in turn determines whether the pasteuri- zation is effective. The OPTIFLUX 6300 electro-magnetic flow me- ter takes on this task with great success. The high measuring accuracy of the device enables the flow speed of the juice in the pasteurizer to be maintained constant. The shape of the PFA liner is preserved by a stainless steel mesh behind it, guaranteeing precise and reproducible results even for high operating temperatures. a s i I Am I Volumetric flow measurement in the (KHS-ACF) filling unit with BATCHFLUX.

Calibration KROHNE 41 Calibration at KROHNE: High precision and accuracy, every time. The true quality of a flowmeter shows under testing conditions, such as drastically varying pressure and sudden vacuums, or when measuring materials, which are inhomogeneous or have a high proportion of solids. That's why at KROHNE we do everything we can, right from the calibration stage, to ensure that our flow meters can handle these conditions with the highest precision, reliability and reproducibility- and shine. Every KROHNE flowmeter is wet-calibrated by direct volume comparison -the most precise calibration method there is. Electro-magnetic and ultrasonic flowmeters are calibrated using the largest calibration system in the world at KROHNE-Altometer in Dordrecht in the Netherlands. No wonder that the KROHNE calibration facilities are generally 10 times more precise than the flowmeters to be tested. Thus we can guarantee our customers the highest degree of measurement accuracy and top precision for all flowmeters under reference conditions. There is another benefit for our customers. KROHNE delivers the largest j flowmeters worldwide with an NKO certificate, guaranteeing the highest level of measuring accuracy, even under difficult operating conditions. -- now _ ����� M 9 v 0 0 3 w o KROHNE,Inc. v 7 Dearborn Road Peabody,MA 01960 o Phone:(9781535-6060 0 or(800) Z Fax:)978)535-535-1720 www.krohne.com/northamerica Y O I n fo fa k ro h n e.c o m www.krohne.com
