Innovative Single Straight Tube Design and Entrained Gas Management Set New Industry Standards in Food and Beverage Processing
KROHNE, a leading provider of industrial process instrumentation, announces its cutting-edge Coriolis flowmeter technology, specifically tailored to address the most demanding process measurement challenges in the food and beverage production industry. With decades of experience and continuous innovation, KROHNE’s OPTIMASS Coriolis flowmeters offer unparalleled accuracy, versatility, and reliability for critical flow measurement applications in food and beverage processing.
KROHNE’s Coriolis flowmeters provide mass flow accuracy of approximately 0.1%, which is 5 to 10 times better than most other flow measurement technologies. These advanced instruments simultaneously measure mass flow, density, and temperature, offering comprehensive process insights crucial for food and beverage production operations with a single device. Unlike many other flowmeters, KROHNE’s Coriolis meters can be installed in virtually any orientation without requiring specific flow profiles or straight pipe runs, providing flexibility in food and beverage plant installations.
KROHNE distinguishes itself with its unique single straight tube design, offering significant benefits for challenging food and beverage processes that cannot accommodate bent tube solutions. This innovative design provides advantages such as lower pressure drop, easier installation, and better handling of shear-sensitive fluids commonly found in food and beverage processing.
One of the most significant advancements in KROHNE’s Coriolis technology for the food and beverage industry is the proprietary Entrained Gas Management (EGM) feature. This innovation allows for continued operation in two-phase flow conditions, a situation that traditionally causes most Coriolis meters to cease functioning. EGM enables the meter to continue measuring repeatably without process interruption in food and beverage applications, even when accuracy may be slightly degraded from published specifications.
KROHNE’s Coriolis flowmeters excel in various aspects of food and beverage processing, including mass-based operations, recipe formulation, and blending applications. These meters are particularly valuable in scenarios where ownership changes are transacted, ensuring accurate measurement and billing in food and beverage supply chains.
KROHNE’s commitment to innovation in the food and beverage production sector is evident in its extensive product line, which caters to a wide range of application needs. From compact designs for space-constrained food and beverage plant installations to high-capacity meters for large-scale operations, KROHNE offers a comprehensive portfolio of Coriolis flowmeters. As the food and beverage industry continues to demand higher accuracy, reliability, and versatility in flow measurement, KROHNE’s Coriolis flowmeters stand at the forefront of technology, providing solutions that drive efficiency and precision in food and beverage process control.
