3 Introduction KROHNE 3 The challenge: Intelligent solutions for the food & beverage industry. To perform well, you have to be constantly improving. This is particularly true for companies 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 variants 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 competitive market with well thought out, state of the art solutions covering all areas of measuring technology. This exceptionally wide range includes measuring devices for the fields of storage and intermediate storage, dosing and the mixing of conductive and non-conductive products, bottling and dosing, and products for the area of CIP cleaning. Practical areas of application are found in all stages of food manufacturing, processing and refinement. These applications range from measuring the tank level of soft drinks using radar to batch filling PET bottles with fruit juice down to the precise dosing of liquid hops extract in a large brewery. We even have the right technology for difficult applications such as processing honey and chocolate or measuring the flow of low-conductivity water in mixing stations for soft drinks. Wherever KROHNE measuring devices are used, they get the job done precisely, reliably and economically you can count on it.

7 Beer KROHNE 7 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 Hectoliters. Today, their output is around 1.4 million hectolitres. Alongside the established brands König Pilsener and König Pilsener Alcohol-free, the beer-based mixed drink König Pilsener Lemon has been produced and bottled in Duisburg since March highly qualified staff work day after day to ensure the success of the König Pilsener brand.

8 8 KROHNE Beer Level measurement in the barley and malt silos. The König-Brewery stores its hops and malt supplies in 23 square cement silos, each measuring 22 metres in height and with a capacity of 100 tonnes per silo. For years, the brewery has relied on KROHNE measuring devices based on guided microwaves to constantly monitor the silo levels. The advantages? The storage volume is used to optimal capacity, there are no more planning uncertainties or partial fillings and the company can order in advance, thus cutting costs. The newly developed OPTIWAVE 6300 offers an even more advanced concept when it comes to measuring the level of solids in high tanks. The radar-based device features a drop antenna and was specifically designed to measure powders and solids in extremely dusty environments. The elliptical shape of the antenna prevents build-up and generates a small beam angle to accurately measure the silo contents. The high signal dynamic also ensures that measurement is precise, even with moving surfaces. OPTIWAVE 6300 Drop antenna prevents dust deposits Tank heights up to 80 m Can be extended to adapt to nozzle height Specific installation assistance for solids

9 9 Measuring the flow of mashing water using the OPTIFLUX The task is challenging. You have to ensure that the ratio of malt and mashing water is correct. The 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. The OPTIFLUX 6300 electromagnetic flowmeter performed well in both positions. On hand, the device features an outstanding new seal concept. The molded gasket has the largest sealing force at the front towards the process pipe. This reduces the danger of the seal being pushed out of place to an absolute minimum. As a result, when the seal expands during the cleaning process, it only extends backwards into the expansion chamber. This guarantees a hygienic seal and also increases its working life. OPTIFLUX 6300 New L-seal concept prevents the gasket from expanding in the measuring tube Straightforward SIP/CIP cleaning Cleaning temperatures of up to process connection up to 150 C/300 F Hygienic process connection available (e. g. DIN 11851, DIN 11864, Clamp, SMS) Vacuum-proof liner On the other hand, the device is already fitted with the innovative IFC 300 signal converter. This converter offers application and device diagnostics as standard, making installation and operation particularly simple and userfriendly. Even the high ambient temperatures in the brewing house are no problem for the IFC 300.

10 10 KROHNE Beer Temperature measurement during the mashing/ boiling process with the TTP 200 temperature sensor. If you don t have the right temperature, you can t get anywhere with the mashing and boiling 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 lautering kettle. In the sensor casing of the TTP 200 there is a Class A PT 100 chip as standard (2, 3 or 4-wire), which complies with EN This guarantees very fast response times, even with very short installation lengths with reduced measuring tip. These compact thermometers are available with a broad range of standard signals, depending on the head-mounted transmitter selected.

11 11 Measuring the quantity of heating steam in the brewing house using the OPTISWIRL 4070 vortex flowmeter. To achieve optimum conditions during the heating process in the brewing house, the exact quantity of heating steam must be measured. Important data about the consumption of heating steam can be gathered by taking the measurement. The OPTISWIRL 4070 vortex flowmeter from KROHNE performs impressively. It can measure steam usage to within 1% of the measured value. The high measuring dynamic of the OPTISWIRL 4070 measures the smallest flow quantities just as precisely as the larger ones. On top of that, the OPTISWIRL is the first vortex flowmeter with integrated pressure and temperature compensation. Additional sensors are no longer required. Not only does this reduce installation and wiring costs but it also results in maximum accuracy. Vortex flowmeter OPTISWIRL 4070 High measuring accuracy: 1 % of measurement value Integrated pressure compensation High measuring dynamic Not sensitive to external vibrations As the OPTISWIRL 4070 is not sensitive to external vibrations, it can be easily mounted near a mash pump without disturbing or interrupting the measuring process.

12 12 KROHNE Beer Dosing liquid hops extract using the OPTIMASS Correctly and precisely dosing the hops is without a doubt one of the key steps for measuring systems when converting hops into a finished beer. It is one of the most important factors responsible for the taste and quality of the beer. The hops are put into the wort copper during the brewing process. The wort is heated as hops are added and the extract value is set according to the degree of steaming. Precisely dosing the hops optimises the cooking process and minimises the amount of hops extract required. As the hop extract is not conductive and is very viscous, it is kept in a pourable state in a heating cabinet. This is a worthwhile preparation because the OPTIMASS 7300 can then dose the flowing hops extract into the wort copper with a measuring accuracy of 0.1 %. This high measuring precision is good for both the flavour and the brewery balance sheet.

13 Beer KROHNE 13 Measuring the flow and dosing in the mashing kettle using the OPTIFLUX The capabilities of the OPTIFLUX 6300 can also be used for measuring the flow of wort from the mashing kettle to the mash filter. It is extremely important to measure the wort quantity before it reaches the mash filter. After all, the operation of the mash filters is determined based on this value. This measurement also provides valuable information about how full the filters are and their remaining lifespan. The OPTIFLUX 6300 meets these challenges admirably. With an operating pressure of up to 6 bar and a measuring range of up to hl/h, the electromagnetic flowmeter measures wort quantities with great accuracy, regardless of whether the compact or stand-alone version is used. As the OPTIFLUX leaves the factory with a vacuum-proof liner, it can also be easily used in areas where high temperatures and vacuums are common.

15 15 Measuring the flow of sterile air in the brewing tank using the H250. To ensure fast and consistent brewing of the beer wort in the cylindrical-conical brewing tank, sterile air must be distributed consistently into the wort using a system of nozzles. The quantity of sterile air depends on the flow volume to the brewing tank, and also on the number and state of the dosed yeast cells. The H250 variable area flowmeter from KROHNE does a first class job. The only all-metal variable area flowmeter certified 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 is then converted into CO 2 and alcohol. For bottom-fermented beers such as pils, this process takes around 5-8 days.

17 Fruit juice

18 18 KROHNE Fruit juice Eckes-Granini and KROHNE: Superior measuring accuracy for popular classic brands. Traditionally, Germany has the world s highest per capita consumption of fruit juice. The last 60 years have seen an increase from 1.9 to 41 litres. The fruit juice industry in Germany comprises some 450 fruit juice producers with approx employees, resulting in a total turnover of 3.5 billion Euros. To produce 4.3 billion litres of fruit juice, fruit nectar and fruit juice drinks, more than tonnes of fruit are processed. All over the world, leading fruit juice producers and plant engineers use state-of-the-art flow, level, temperature and pressure measuring equipment from KROHNE for a variety of processes. Famous examples include the KHS production plant and the fruit juice producer Eckes-Granini Deutschland GmbH. The latter started Germany s most modern PET juice bottling plant in 2006 and another was added in Storage Blending Sugar Dissolving Pasteurization Filling

20 20 KROHNE Fruit juice Measuring the flow of the concentrate in the storage tanks using the OPTIMASS Mass flowmeter OPTIMASS 7300 Multifunctional sensor for measuring mass, volume and temperature Additional continuous density measurement No added pressure loss Straightforward emptying and CIP cleaning thanks to single pipe design Connection Profibus DP Range of diameters from DN6 to DN100 When producing fruit juice, a large portion of the juice is made from concentrate. The concentrate, which is delivered by various suppliers, is highly viscous at temperatures of around 4 C. It is transferred from the concentrate containers such as tankers or vats into the concentrate storage tanks using Coriolis mass flow measurement. The OPTIMASS 7300 is the first choice for measurements in the storage tanks and for mixing. This high-end device from the OPTIMASS mass flowmeter range features a revolutionary straight design with just one pipe, making it eminently suitable for measuring the highly viscous concentrate. The single pipe design also makes emptying and cleaning the device simple and straightforward. Working at an operating pressure of up to 10 bar, the OPTIMASS does not just give reliable flow measurements. It also continuously calculates the Brix value by measuring the density which directly correlates to the BRIX value of the fruit juice concentrate.

21 Fruit juice KROHNE 21 Level measurement in the storage tanks. With the OPTIWAVE 7300 noncontact radar measurement, it is possible to constantly monitor the storage tanks. Level measurement with the OPTIWAVE 7300 Highly precise level measurement Straightforward to change No contact with the product Connection with Profibus DP The concentrate is kept in the storage tanks for interim storage at temperatures between 3 and 5 C as required. Precisely measuring the level guarantees optimum inventory of the store.

22 22 Flow measurement and dosing of process water into the collection tank with OPTIFLUX The correct ratio of concentrated fruit juice, water, sugar and additives largely determines the flavour, the look and the quality of a fruit juice. This is not the only reason why it is very important to dose the correct quantity of water to the collection tank at the sugar dissolving station. The exact ratio of the water feed to the quantity of sugar also determines the subsequent BRIX value of the finished sugar syrup, which is required to produce fruit juice and soft drinks. OPTIFLUX 6300 electromagnetic flowmeter High measuring accuracy for precise dosing of water in the collection tanks Available in all stainless steel Vacuum-proof liner allows it to be used with temperature changes and vacuum shocks The compact design allows for use in inaccessible areas of the sugar dissolving station The OPTIFLUX 6300 electromagnetic flowmeter from KROHNE is ideal for this task. It does more than just reliably measure the flow of process water into the collection tank. The excellent measuring performance of the flowmeter guarantees exact dosing of the correct quantity of water. But that is not all. Using its diagnostic functions, the unit controls the sensors and the electronics cyclically. The built-in application diagnostic also recognises situations such as partial filling, low conductivity or damage of the liner.

23 Fruit juice KROHNE 23 Continual density / BRIX measurement of sugar syrup in the sugar dissolving station using the OPTIMASS As already mentioned in the section on flow measurement 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 finished sugar syrup. For this reason it is vital to continuously measure the density and BRIX value of the highly viscous sugar syrup in the sugar dissolving station, to avoid variation in quality. The 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.

24 24 KROHNE Saft Measuring the flow of juice at the flash pasteuriser using the OPTIFLUX To increase the shelf-life of the fruit juice, it is heated briefly to temperatures from 70 to 85 C. The exact temperature depends on the type of fruit juice. It must be kept at the temperature for about 15 to 30 seconds to ensure safe pasteurisation and to make the juice last. Monitoring the flow volume in the flash pasteuriser is extremely important as the flow speed determines how long the juice spends in the pasteurisation unit, which in turn determines whether the pasteurisation is effective. The OPTIFLUX 6300 flowmeter easily accomplishes this task. The device s high measuring accuracy makes it possible to keep the flow speed of the juice in the pasteurisation unit constant. The shape of the PFA liner is maintained by a stainless steel mesh behind it, ensuring precise and reproducible results even at high operating temperatures.

25 Saft KROHNE 25 Measuring the flow of the juice in the storage tanks using OPTIFLUX To optimise the production phases in fruit juice manufacturing while minimising waste, it is vital to continuously measure the flow of juice in the pipes to the storage tanks. This is a typical task for the hygienic magnetic flowmeter from KROHNE. Excellent measuring performance is not the only outstanding feature of the compact OPTIFLUX 6300 electromagnetic flowmeter. It also offers the user a broad measuring range of up to 300 m 3 /h. The hygienic adaptation is guaranteed by a variety of hygienic process connections.

26 26 Volumetric flow measurement in the (KHS-ACF-) filling machine with BATCHFLUX. When cold filling following pasteurisation with KHS-ACF- (Aseptic-Cold-Filling) technology, KHS uses electromagnetic flowmeters by KROHNE. ACF filling combines several benefits in a single process: Firstly, it is a filling method that is particularly gentle on the product, which is in turn reflected in the flavour of the juice. In addition, unlike with hot filling, the use of preservatives can be avoided. Cold-filling also has particularly high hygiene standards for the devices used in the filling system. The managers at KHS trust the BATCHFLOW flowmeter from KROHNE in this particularly sensitive area. The compact device was specifically developed for the precise filling and dosing of drinks of any kind. Thanks to its high measuring accuracy and repro ducibility, the BATCHFLUX has already proven its effectiveness in many rotary fillers for filling thin-walled PET bottles of various sizes. The extremely high reproducibility is largely thanks to the ceramic lining, which retains its shape and is vacuum-proof at temperatures of over 130 C despite frequent internal cleaning. The new generation BATCHFLUX 5500 also handles difficult applications, including those with fibre content or hot filling, precisely and with good reproducibility.

27 Fruit juice KROHNE 27 Reliable filling with the OPTIBATCH 4011 C. The OPTIBATCH 4011 C was specially designed for filling products with low conductivity or for liquids with pulps or solids. It is equally wellsuited to applications in which the product is filled by weight and not by volume. During development, we focused especially on compact dimensions and minimal installation length. The necessary coverter is also integrated into the sensor housing. The measuring tubes and flow splitter have been optimised to achieve the minimum possible pressure loss. The stainless steel housing features a high protection class, shielding both the sensor and the electronics from regular external cleaning.

29 Milk products

30 30 KROHNE Milk products Milk can t do it alone: New trends, new challenges for the milk industry. The dairy industry is facing enormous challenges. On the one hand, week after week a variety of new product and flavour variations with ever shorter product life cycles crowds the shelves of supermarkets. On the other hand, manufacturers and retailers are streamlining product ranges in an effort to create more added value for themselves and to make things clearer for consumers. The challenge for milk processing operations is to guarantee a high degree of hygiene in the system operation, even with constantly changing products. New products such as fresh milk with extended shelf life (ESL milk) pose new technological challenges to plants and measuring devices. In addition to optimal hygiene, a long life cycle at higher process temperatures must be taken into account. In this constantly changing market, KROHNE welcomes the opportunity to be seen by both mediumsized dairy operations and multinational enterprises as a reliable partner when it comes to its products and solutions for measuring technology. Whether it is dosing, mixing, filling or CIP cleaning, KROHNE s extensive portfolio offers the right solution for almost any application. Try us!

32 32 KROHNE Milchprodukte Hydrostatic level measuring for the milk storage tank. 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 hydrostatic pressure transmitters, which are mounted in the base of the tank using hygienic process connectors. Because of the condensation that accumulates on the outside of the tank and runs down the walls, the pressure sensor must be well protected to prevent moisture from entering. PTD 500 pressure transmitter All stainless steel High measuring accuracy of < 0.2 % Flush membrane

33 Milk products KROHNE 33 Flow controlmeasurement for milk separator. When determining the fat content of drinking milk as required by law, a separator is used to divide the pre-warmed raw milk into cream and skim milk. The milk is heated up to about 55 C to reach a better degree of separation. The skim milk leaves the separator with a constant fat content of about 0.05 percent. The cream, which has a fat content of between 30 and 35 percent, is then partially pasteurised. To smoothly separate the skim milk from the cream, the separating processes in the inflow of the separator must be kept constant. Otherwise, new stationary conditions would constantly appear in the barrel. In this case, the OPTIFLUX 6300 provides accurate measuring results.

34 34 KROHNE Milk products Fat standardisation with OPTIMASS. In order to eventually produce standardised milk with a specific minimum fat content (1.0, 1.5 or 3.5 percent), in addition to determining the volume flow of the skim milk, the fat content of the cream must also be accurately measured. At the core of this is an OPTIMASS 7300 Coriolis mass flowmeter. Thanks to its extremely good density measurement, it is possible to accurately determine the fat content of the cream The device continually detects changes in the fat content, meaning that interventions can be made to correct any fluctuations. The OPTIMASS 7300 boasts a special design with a single straight measuring tube. The sensor is ideal for shear sensitive products as there is no flow splitter or reduction in the diameter, thus keeping the flow velocity constant. In addition, the sensor causes almost no pressure loss in the device and is self draining. This is particularly advantageous when dealing with extremely sensitive products such as cream or butter.

35 Milk products KROHNE 35 Addition of vegetable preparation. The OPTIMASS 7300 is more and more becoming the standard flowmeter used in the production of cream cheese. One well-known producer of cream cheese and spreads from the Allgäu region in Germany uses it for virtually all flow measurements and dosing. With spreads, one of the keys is to maintain the right ratio of base product and vegetable mix. After all, the end product should maintain constant for the consumer and taste the same from year to year. Due to the high viscosity, low conductivity and high fat content of the product, this is no easy task and one at which other measuring instruments fail. But not the OPTIMASS It provides the exact desired results with its outstanding reproducibility.

36 36 KROHNE at Nestlé Schöller: Dosing in the freezer with the OPTIMASS The right ice cream, whatever your taste has been the motto of Nestlé Schöller since Employees produce several hundred different ice cream products, including milk-based ice cream in family packs and ice cream cones as well as 360 popsicles a minute. The company thus enjoys an outstanding position in the highly competitive ice cream market. Using KROHNE measuring devices is one way for Nestlé Schöller to ensure its competitive edge. In the interests of cost efficiency, it is increasingly important to measure the throughput of individual filling and packaging machines. Take freezers for example. They cool the ice cream mix after pasteurisation and sterilisation at temperatures from -27 C. As with whipped cream, air is beaten into the mix at the same time, giving it its delicious creamy texture. Here, Nestlé Schöller relies on the OPTIMASS The highend device from the Coriolis mass flowmeter OPTIMASS family precisely measures the dosing of the liquid mix before it goes into each single freezer. Thanks to its revolutionary single tube design, not only does it ensure excellent measuring performance, not disturbed by inhomogeneous mixtures or air pockets, but it also ensures measurements with minimal pressure loss. The device is also easy to empty and clean.

37 Milk products KROHNE 37 Conductivity measurement in CIP return. ACM 500 Conductivity measuring system Rapid response time (T 90 < 3 sec) Resolution of 1 µs/cm 4 measuring ranges with 4 temperature coefficients Can be used with a nominal diameter of DN40 Hygiene is the highest priority in food production. CIP Cleaning In Place is an economical and timesaving process for cleaning process systems quickly and reliably. All parts of the system in contact with the product such as pipes, containers and heat exchangers are flushed with different cleaning agents usually water, acid and bases. To clean as effectively as possible, the concentration, temperature and flow speed of the cleaning agents are constantly monitored and maintained at a previously defined optimum value. Complete separation of the water, the acid and the base is important for re-use of the cleaning agents in the CIP system. The faster the change between the different storage tanks is carried out, the more frequently the cleaning agents can be used.

38 38 KROHNE Communication Communication at KROHNE: Open for the future. But KROHNE field devices can do much more. They meet all of the conditions for integration into plant asset management systems. And they make the use of innovative integration technologies such as FDT/DTM possible. Industrial automation in the process industry has been undergoing rapid change for the past twenty years. This is also reflected in the processes of the food and beverage industry. Where it was once centralized and largely self-contained structures that dominated, today the pace is set by intelligent, decentralized architectures. Thus, system concepts in which the products of a variety of manufacturers work harmoniously together are becoming a reality via open, standard interfaces such as HART, PROFIBUS and FOUNDA- TION FIELDBUS. KROHNE has been actively following this development for years. Whether it is batch dosing and mixing, radar level measurement or CIP cleaning: KROHNE field devices are open for the future. They communicate reliably with controllers, control systems and PCs and can also be used for a wide variety of control and regulating tasks. What s so special about FDT/DTM? For the first time, bus-independent integration of field technology into the plant asset management system is possible this is without a doubt a milestone for industrial communication, something in which KROHNE, as a long-standing member of PACTware and the FDT group, has a considerable share. Thus, since the beginning of 2003, we have been providing DTMs in the FDT 1.2 versions for a variety of field devices with HART and/or PROFIBUS interface. PACTware and all KROHNE DTMs are available free of charge and fully functional without a license. They are included on a CD with each delivery of the device and are available in the KROHNE download centre.

39 Calibration KROHNE 39 Calibration at KROHNE: Safety you can count on. The true quality of a flowmeter only really shows through under adverse conditions: for example, when pressures and vacuums are fluctuating heavily or when measuring inhomogeneous products or media with high solid content. That is why, starting with the calibration, we at KROHNE do everything to ensure that our flowmeters perform impressively, with maximum accuracy, reliability and reproducibility, even under such conditions. And that is why, for example, every KROHNE flowmeter is wet-calibrated in a direct comparison of volumes, which is the most accurate calibration method by far. Calibration takes place for both electromagnetic and ultrasonic flowmeters using the world s largest calibration station at KROHNE Altometer in Dordrecht, in the Netherlands. The accuracy of the KROHNE calibration stations is generally 5 times better than that of the flowmeters to be tested. For our customers, this not only means a maximum degree of certainty, but also guarantees the accuracy data of all flowmeters under reference conditions. An added bonus for our customers: KROHNE supplies the largest NKO-certified flowmeters worldwide. This guarantees the highest degree of measuring accuracy even under difficult operating conditions.
