Dairy Chemical Batch Control Guided Wave Level Sensor
When a Texas equipment manufacturer needed reliable level measurement of their batch control systems, they turned to Flowline. Their dairy client required an automatic system to blend a critical disinfectant that’s used on cow utters. To makeup each batch, RO water, bleach and germicide are separately dispensed into a PVC tube. The level is measured and used to determine when the correct volume of each ingredient has been input. When done, the batch is transferred into an IBC and the cycle repeats until the tote is full. During blending, the solution foams and level accuracy is critical to batch quality. For this reason, Flowline suggested the use of our guided wave liquid level sensors that are highly accurate and unaffected by foam. The guided wave sensorprovides continuous level data to the PLC, which in turn, monitors the tube and controls the batch process. Flowline is reliable level measurement.
