Insights
Level measurement in the evaporation process
One of the most challenging applications in sugar production is level measurement in the evaporator. A low clarified juice level may damage an entire batch and cause an unscheduled outage.
Radar technology mounted in a bypass system ensures robust, stable and reliable level monitoring.
- Optimize your level measurement in the evaporation process using radar level measurement, for example with our free space radar Micropilot FMR60.
Insights
Optimize your differential pressure measurement
Harsh production environments and cleaning processes frequently damage the differential pressure system in evaporators.
Our innovative electronic differential pressure system is a reliable one-to-one replacement.
- Maximum robustness paired with abrasion resistance and vacuum tightness thanks to the ceramic cell of Deltabar FMD71. In addition, Deltabar offers faster installation, less maintenance and downtime as well as fewer spare part warehousing.
Insights
Keep pH measurement within safe limits
The optimal pH range in the sugar crystallization process is pH 6.5 to 7.0, which ensures top-quality end products. Because of the low ionic strength of the water mixed with sugar, a glass electrode cannot be used.
We recommend our digital non-glass sensors with ISFET or enamel electrode combined with Memosens technology.
- Identify the potential of using our digital non-glass pH sensor CPS77E with ISFET electrode.
- Benefit from long-term stability and minimal maintenance using Ceramax CPS341D, the digital non-glass pH sensor with enamel electrode.
- Increase process safety and simplify handling thanks to Memosens sensor technology.
Insights
Brix concentration at the highest level
Syrup is produced in the evaporation phase with about 65° Brix. Reliable and accurate results at the right moment are key.
Apart from the main task of measuring mass flow and density, the Promass also performs an in-line measurement of the Brix concentration with a high degree of accuracy. Furthermore, Promass provides clear, standardized diagnostic notifications using the Endress+Hauser Heartbeat Technology, which enables predictive maintenance while supplying proof of operational reliability and process safety.
- Discover the benefits of Endress+Hauser's Coriolis mass flowmeters.
- Analyze the potential of our smart instrumentation with Heartbeat Technology related to predictive maintenance.
