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 fi lling 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 refi nement.

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 Profi bus PA.

The König-Brewery, Duisburg, and KROHNE:

Premium technology for a premium product. The König-Brewery in Duisburg can look back on nearly 150

years of history. It was founded by Theodor König 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, König 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, König Pilsener and König Pilsener Alcohol-free, the beer mixer drink, König Pilsener Lemon, has been produced and bottled in Duisburg since March 2006.

340 highly qualifi ed staff work day after day to ensure the success of the König Pilsener brand.

For seamless monitoring of the grain and malt levels, the König-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 benefi ts in a compact unit.

For example, parts built into the silo, such as steps or platforms, have no effect on measurements.

Another advantage of OPTIFLEX, compared to earlier radar devices, is its higher signal dynamic. This means sharper impulses, which make it possible to measure thin-ner interfaces. Even the most severe disturbances, such as considerable surface movement, foam, coating of the probe or fi ne dust in the tank don‘t bother the OPTIFLEX.

With the guided radar from KROHNE, the brewery can plan their orders, helping them to reduce costs. The end result is that there is no uncertainty about availability and no need for partial refi lls, enabling optimum use of the available storage capacity.

OPTIFLEX 1300: Guided radar level meter.• Guided radar level meter.• Extremely stable measurements, even with extreme disturbances, such as dust, moving surfaces, coating of the probe• Simple to set up, with automatic installation wizard• Recognizes and measures very thin interfaces from 50 mm

The task is challenging. You have to ensure that the ratio of malt and mashing water is correct. OPTIFLUX 6300 must also carry out exact dosing of sparging water later in the brewing process, for optimum leaching of the residue in the lautering kettle.

OPTIFLUX 6300 electro-magnetic fl ow meter performs well in both positions. The unit has a new seal concept. The sensor is arranged so that the molded seal works at the front of the process pipe where it has the greatest con-tact pressure. This reduces the danger of the seal being pushed out of place to an absolute mini-mum. As a result, when the seal expands during the cleaning cycle, it only extends backwards into the expansion chamber.

OPTIFLUX 6300• New L-seal concept prevents the seal from extending into the measuring pipe • Straightforward SIP/CIP cleaning• Cleaning temperatures of up to 150°C/300°F depending on the process connector• Hygienic process connectors available (e.g. DIN 11851, DIN 11864, clamp, SMS)• Vacuum-proof liner

This guarantees a hygienic seal and also increases its life time.

The unit also leaves the factory with the innovative IFC 300 fl ow converter. This comes with appli-cation and device diagnostics as standard, making installation and operation particularly simple and user-friendly.Even the high ambient tempera-tures in the brewing house are no problem for the IFC 300.

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.

To achieve optimum conditions during the heating process in the brewing house, the exact quantity of heating steam should be mea-sured. While taking the measure-ment, important data about heat-ing steam usage can be gathered at the same time.

OPTISWIRL 4070 vortex fl ow meter from KROHNE performs impres-sively. It can measure steam usage within of 1% of the measurement value. The high measuring dynam-ic of OPTISWIRL 4070 measures the smallest fl ow quantities as precisely as the largest fl ows.

As the OPTISWIRL 4070 is not sen-sitive to external vibrations, it can be mounted near to a mash pump without any extra preparation and the measuring process will not be disturbed or interrupted.

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 fi nished Pils. It is one of the most important parameters responsible for the taste and quality of the beer. The hops are put into the wort ket-tle during the brewing process. The wort is heated as hops are added and the extract value is set by the degree of steaming. Highly precise dosing of the hops optimizes the boiling process and minimizes the use of hop extract. As the hop extract is not conduc-tive and is very viscous, it is kept warm enough to fl ow in a warming cabinet. This preparation is worth-while, because the OPTIMASS 7300 can then dose the fl owing hop extract into the wort kettle with a measuring accuracy of 0.1% This high measuring precision is good for fl avor and good for the brewery balance sheet.

The capabilities of the OPTIFLUX 6300 C can also be used for measuring the fl ow of wort from the mashing kettle to the mash fi lter.

Correct measurement of wort quantities before they reach the mash fi lter is extremely important. After all, the operation of the mash fi lters is determined on the basis of this value. This measurement also provides valuable information about how full the fi lters are and their lifespan.

OPTIFLUX 6300 meets these requirements admirably. With an operating pressure of up to 6 bar and a measuring range of up to 2,820 hl/h, the electro-magnetic fl ow meter measures wort quanti-ties with great accuracy, either in the compact or the stand-alone version.

As the OPTIFLUX leaves the factory with a vacuum-proof liner, it can be used without diffi culty in areas where high temperatures and vacuums are common.

To ensure fast and consistent brewing of the beer wort in the cylindrical-conical brewing tank, sterile air must be distrib-uted consistently into the wort using a system of nozzles. The quantity of sterile air depends on the fl ow volume to the brewing tank, and also on the number and state of the dosed yeast cells.

The H 250 variable-area fl ow meter from KROHNE does a fi rst class job. The only variable-area fl ow meter certifi ed 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 CO2 and alcohol. For bottom-fermented beers, such as pils, this process takes around 5-8 days.

Juice

18 KROHNE Juice

With regard to the consumption of fruit juices per capita, Germany is on the forefront. In the last 60 years, there was an increase from 1.9 to 41 litres. The fruit juice industry in Germany consists of approximately 450 producers with more than 7,500 employees which generate an overall turnover of 3.5 billion Euro. For the production of 4.3 billion litres of fruit juice and nectar more than 800,000 tons of

fruit have been processed. Lead-ing fruit juice producers as well as contractors trust in state-of-the-art KROHNE fl ow, level, pressure and temperature measurement instruments in a number of pro-cesses. Well-known examples are Eckes-Granini Deutschland GmbH and KHS. The latter has commis-sioned the most modern PET juice fi lling machine in Germany in 2006.

In general, a lot of fruit juice is made from concentrate. The con-centrate, which is delivered from various suppliers, is highly viscous at temperatures of around 4 °C. It is measured gravimetrically in kg, and transferred from the delivery containers, such as tank-trucks or barrels, into the concentrate stor-age tanks.

The OPTIMASS 7300 is their fi rst choice for measurements in the storage tanks and for mixing. This high-end device from the OPTIMASS mass fl owmeter range has a revolutionary straight pipe design, which makes it eminently suitable for measuring the highly viscous concentrate with just one pipe. The single pipe design also means that emptying and cleaning the de-vice is simple and straightforward.

Working at an operating pressure of up to 10 bar, the OPTIMASS does not just give reliable fl ow mea-surements. The BRIX value is also continuously calculated on the ba-sis of the density, which is directly proportional to the BRIX value of the fruit juice concentrate.

The correct ratio of water, sugar and additives largely determines the fl avor, the look and the quality of a fruit juice.

This is not the only reason why it is very impor-tant to dose the correct quantity of water in the mixing tank to the sugar dissolving station. The exact ratio of the water feed to the quantity of sugar also determines the later BRIX value of the fi nished sugar syrup, which is required to produce fruit juice and soft drinks.

The OPTIFLUX 6300 electro-magnetic fl ow meter from KROHNE is ideal for this task. It does more than just reliably measure the fl ow of process water into the collection tank. The excellent measuring performance of the fl ow 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 fi ll-ing, low conductivity and damage to the liner.

As mentioned in the section on fl ow 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 fi nished 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 station, to avoid variation in quality. OPTIMASS 7300 is ideally equipped for this task.

As well as directly measuring the density and mass, the device can also measure the volume and temperature of the product.

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 fl ow volumes in the heat exchang-er of the pasteurization unit is very important. After all, the fl ow 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 fl ow me-ter takes on this task with great success. The high measuring accuracy of the device enables the fl ow 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.

KHS trusts in electro-magnetic fl ow meters from KROHNE during cold-fi lling with a KHS-ACF (Asep-tic-Cold Filling) unit.

ACF fi lling unites several benefi ts in a single process. Firstly, it is a fi lling method, which is particu-larly gentle with the product, and this is refl ected in the fl avor of the juice. It also means that preser-vatives do not need to be used, unlike hot-fi lling. However cold-fi lling makes particular hygiene demands of the devices used in the fi lling system.

The managers at KHS trust the BATCHFLUX fl ow meter from KROHNE in this particularly sen-sitive area. The compact device was designed specially for exact fi lling and dosing of drinks of all types. BATCHFLUX has already proved it‘s effectiveness in many rotary fi llers for fi lling thin-walled light PET bottles in various sizes, thanks to its high measuring ac-curacy and reproducibility. The extremely high reproducibility is due to the ceramic liner, which retains its shape and is vacuum-proof at temperatures of over 130 °C despite frequent internal cleaning.

To optimize the production phase in fruit juice manufacturing and to minimize waste, continu-ous measurement of the fl ow of juice in the pipes to the storage tanks is vital.

This is a typical task for the hygienic EMF from KROHNE. Excellent measuring performance is not the only outstanding feature of the compact OPTIFLUX 6300 electro-magnetic fl ow meter. It also offers the operator a broad measuring range up to 0 to 300 m3/h. A wide range of pro-cess connectors ensures that the meter can be adapted hygienically.

Milk

30 KROHNE Milk

The dairy industry is facing enor-mous challenges. A wide variety of new products and fl avor variants with increasingly short product life cycles are reaching the supermar-ket shelves every week, while at the same time major companies and retailers are trying to sim-plify their confusingly complicated range of products to offer more clarity for the consumer and in-crease their value add. Sometimes contradictory trends, such as an increase in convenience products (“extra-long life fresh milk“) while the organic sector is also growing, mean it is hard to make reliable predictions for the future.

Going the extra mile:News trends and news challenges

for the dairy industry.

Milk processing companies are faced with the challenge of pre-serving a high standard of hygiene in their systems even when they are working with constantly chang-ing products.

With its products and solutions covering every area of measuring technology, KROHNE has estab-lished itself in this continually developing market as a reliable partner for both medium-sized dairy companies and multi-nation-als.

For dosing, mixing, fi lling or CIP cleaning, KROHNE’s exceptionally wide range of measuring systems provides the perfect solution for al-most any application. Try them out for yourself!

After the milk has passed through the air separator, it is cooled to around 3 °C and then pumped into the milk storage tanks. The level is normally measured by a hydrostatic pressure transmitter, which is mounted in the base of the tank using hygienic process connectors. Because of the condensation, which accumu-lates in the tank and runs down the walls, the pressure sensor must be well protected to prevent moisture from entering.

The demands on a fl ow meter in the UHT system are considerable: high bacteriological safety, no moving parts, and of course CIP cleaning.

In this case, the OPTIFLUX is used in the UHT system of a multina-tional company, which produces and fi lls condensed and UHT milk, soups and ready sauces, baby food and special food products at its plant in the south of Germany.

The milk required to mix with these products is heated to a temperature of up to 143 °C in the UHT system for a few seconds. It is then immediately cooled to 4 to 5 °C. This extreme temperature change kills almost all the germs in the milk.

This process also denatures a small number of proteins. This means that the change to the fl a-vor of the milk is minimal, and the

Flow measurement in the UHT system.

milk is more easily digestible. A welcome side-effect of the dena-turation is that the milk becomes slightly more viscous, making it seem less watery in the mouth of the consumer. The milk is then ho-mogenized to improve the cream-ing stability.

The milk is then fi lled in cartons or brown glass bottles and sealed with an airtight seal.

The rapid temperature changes in the UHT system can cause an extreme vacuum. This is why the managers chose the OPTIFLUX 6300 – and with good reason. The electro-magnetic fl ow meter leaves the factory with a vacuum-proof PFA lining, which is held in position by a stainless steel grill. This enables the device to give stable measurements even in case of rapid pressure and temperature changes.

34

It is not just the quality and concentration of the cleaning agents that de-termines the effectiveness of CIP cleaning, but also how fast it is carried out and at what temperature.

The OPTIFLUX 6300 performs this task impressively. The electro-mag-netic fl ow meter gives reliable measurements of both the fl ow and the speed of incoming high-percentage lye, acid and water in the run-up to CIP while the concentration of the cleaning solution is being increased.

It is necessary to increase the concentration of the cleaning solution if the various cleaning agents are thinned by the CIP cleaning procedure. Dur-ing this phase, cleaning agents in high concentration (30 - 50%) are dosed into the CIP container, to return to the desired concentrations of cleaning agents.

High resistance to vacuum is also essential in the CIP system itself, be-cause of the frequent temperature changes. This is where the strengths of the OPTIFLUX come to the fore. With its special liner, fi xed on a stain-less steel mesh, it is resistant to vacuums and gives outstandingly reli-able and reproducible measurements.

The OPTIFLUX electro-magnetic fl ow meter• High measuring accuracy for exact measurement of water and cleaning agents• Compact and stand-alone versions, making it easy to use in inaccessible areas• Vacuum-proof liner allows the use at high temperatures and vacuums

Hygiene is the highest priority in food production. CIP – Cleaning In Place – is an economical and time-saving process for cleaning process systems quickly and reli-ably. All parts of the system, which carry the product, such as pipes, containers and heat exchangers, are fl ushed with different clean-ing agents – generally water, acid and lyes. To clean as effectively as possible, concentration, tempera-ture and fl ow speed of the cleaning agents are constantly monitored and maintained at a previously defi ned optimum value. Complete separation of the water, the acid and the lye is important for re-use of the cleaning agents in the CIP system. The faster the change between the different stock tanks is carried out, the more frequently the cleaning agents can be used.

After pasteurization and sterilization, the ice cream mixture goes to the storage tanks, where it rests for at least 6 hours.

Then the liquid mixture of milk, fruit juices, sugar and fat or sugar and water goes to the freezer. There it is cooled at temperatures of -27 °C. The mixture freezes as soon as it touch-es the sides of the freezer drum, and is stirred by constantly rotating knives. Like with whipped cream, air is beaten in at the same time, giving it its delicious creamy texture.

In the interests of cost effi ciency, it is increas-ingly important to measure the exact consump-tion of the individual fi lling and packaging machines.

Dosing in the freezer with OPTIMASS 7300.

Nestlé Schöller uses the OPTIMASS 7300 for this task. This high-end device from the OPTIMASS range of coriolis mass fl ow meters is used for exact dosing of the liquid mixture before it goes into each individual freezer.

The revolutionary single pipe design stands out for its excellent measuring performance. Inho-mogeneous mixtures or air entraiment do not bother the OPTIMASS.

The single pipe design also guarantees mea-surement with a minimum pressure loss of pressure. The device can also be easily emptied and cleaned by hand.

Industrial automation in the pro-cess industry has been undergoing rapid changes for the last two de-cades. This is also refl ected in the processes of the Food & Beverage Industry. Where central and largely autonomous structures were once standard, intelligent decentralized architectures are now setting the tone.

Open, standardized interfaces, such as HART, PROFIBUS and FOUNDATION FIELDBUS are used to realize system concepts, in which products from different manufacturers work together in harmony.

KROHNE has been accompanying these developments actively for years. For batch dosing and mix-ing, radar level measuring or CIP cleaning, KROHNE fi eld devices are open to the future. They com-municate effectively with controls, guidance systems and PC‘s and they can also be used for a very wide range of control and regula-tion tasks.

PACTware and all KROHNE DTM‘s are available with full functionality for no extra charge and without license. They are included in every device delivery on CD and they are available from the KROHNE download center.

Communication at KROHNE:Open to the future.

Integration is a top priority at KROHNE

KROHNE fi eld devices can do a lot more. They meet all requirements for integration to plant asset man-agement systems and they enable provision of powerful integration technologies such as FDT/DTM.

The special feature of FDT/DTM is that it is the fi rst technology to enable open, bus-independent in-tegration of fi eld equipment in the plant asset management system. This is undoubtedly a milestone for industrial communication, and as a long-term member of PACTware and the FDT Group, KROHNE has made a signifi cant contribution.

So it should come as no surprise that we have been offering DTM’s in the FDT 1.2 versions for a wide range of fi eld devices with HART and/ or PROFIBUS interfaces since early 2003.
