Quality boost
May 1st 2007 Krohne's Optimass 1000 Coriolis
mass flowmeters are helping to
ensure consistent bagel quality at
two manufacturing sites owned by
a leading UK baker.
They have been chosen as part
of a proportional weighing system
built by Croston Engineering and
accurately measure palm and rape
seed oil, maintaining the
proportional ratio between flour
and liquid ingredients.
The oil is pumped at between 2
and 3 bar via stainless steel pipes
through the Optimass and into a
mixing vessel. A reading from the
flowmeters is fed to a PLC which
controls valves regulating oil flow.
Non-invasive and with minimum
pressure loss, the flowmeters
improve measurement accuracy of
the oil to ±0.1% of actual measured
flowrate. More articles from Krohne Measurement & Control Limited: |
