Improve your beer quality control

Brewhouse - Optimizing yield and quality of wort production

• The pH value in the mash and foundation water must be monitored to achieve best conditions and complete starch conversion. Non-glass pH sensors and retractable holders combined with Memosens technology guarantee highest reliability and accuracy.

• To see the real yield, a Coriolis mass flowmeter provides temperature compensated flow, totalized value and totalized Brix or Plato° values

• Mash tun level is measured with highest reliability using the temperature compensated Deltapilot hydrostatic level sensor. Remote electronics make access easy.

• Liquified adjuncts and dextrose may be added with high accuracy to optimize raw material usage. The Proline Promass flowmeter provides the best temperature stability, precise measurement and Heartbeat verification for accuracy.

Fermentation - Consistent quality batch after batch

• The goal of fermentation is to produce alcohol. Based on the condition of the yeast the oxygen supply level is controlled, allowing the yeast to populate at an optimum rate.

• Reliable temperature measurement is key throughout the brewing process. Highest quality RTDs combined with ultra-fast response time in hygienic design ensure optimal temperature control.

• Extract measurement with an accuracy of 0.15 Plato° in fermentation vessels with Coriolis flowmeter or Vibronic density measurement ensure a stable fermentation process by allowing continuous adjustments.

Filtration - Production with minimal beer loss

• Minimize beer loss with combination of high performance metering: Electromagnetic flowmeter for water and Coriolis flowmeter for combined flow including extract (Plato°) value.

• Differential pressure is a common indicator for filter performance. Conventional DP transmitters or electronic DP systems provide the needed reliability.

Color based in-line detection of beer types

Breweries often produce many different types of beer. It is quite a challenge to keep a clear overview in production. To ensure production runs smoothly and to reduce beer loss, manufacturers must, where possible, distinguish the individual types automatically and directly inline. Dual-channel photometers are used for the measurement, making it possible to analyze color absorbance according to EBC guidelines. Together with a conductivity measurement, the individual beer types can be identified.

Cleaning in place (CIP) optimization

• CIP concentration is critical to food safety but also has big impact on the use of detergent and wastewater costs. Conductivity transmitters have very fast temperature compensation ensuring minimal beer loss during beer/water transitions.

• Correct flow velocity is mandatory to achieve best cleaning results. The Promag H flowmeter provides best value for money. The integrated conductivity signal can be used for phase shift operation.

• Level measurement of aggressive chemicals can be solved using different options depending on tank size and user preference. The measuring principles hydrostatic level, capacitance, ultrasonic or free space radar are most common.
