Responsibility for people and
products
The right technology for every application
The VEGA measuring instruments provide reliable data on
volumes, levels and pressures. They measure in bulk solids,
in sticky media and in liquids, such as dairy products that
are stored and processed in a protective atmosphere. Even
if abrasive additional ingredients like nuts, berries or grains
are mixed in, VEGA sensors still measure reliably and
accurately.
Modular and cost effective: plics®
plics®
is the VEGA unique modular instrument system.
It allows the user to assemble a tailor-made combination
of sensor, process fitting, electronics and housing. The
customer gets exactly the measurement technology
needed and can put it into operation quickly through a
simple, standardized procedure.
Safety and hygiene for the
food industry
▪▪ CIP and SIP capable sensors for cleaning and
sterilization processes
▪▪ Process fitting design according to 3A
standard and EHEDG
▪▪ Electro-polished process fittings for
heightened surface requirements
▪▪ Sealing materials in compliance with FDA
and 3A guidelines
▪▪ Elastomers for applications with fat content > 3 %
▪▪ Pressure transmitter with protection rating IP 69K
for protection during high-pressure cleaning
The VEGA range of services and products for measurement of level, point level and pressure
is setting the standard in the food industry. This is because VEGA systematically combines
the latest technologies with comprehensive, industry-specific knowledge, and above all else
stands by the company’s guiding principle: long-term, fair co-operation based on high es-
teem for products and people.
4
Partnership for a demanding
industry
In the last ten years, food manufacturers have switched over to letting complete production
processes run fully automatically in closed, so-called inline, processes. This guarantees a lower
risk of contamination and thus higher product quality. The necessary cleaning processes place
heavy demands on measurement technology.
Hygiene for process and measurement
technology
VEGA sensors are designed to withstand all cleaning
processes without loss of performance or damage. Fully
automatic, closed SIP and CIP processes as well as
external cleaning places extremely high requirements on
housings, electronics and sensors. No problem for VEGA
instruments, because all components are designed
exactly for the expected conditions. Process fittings free
of dead spaces permit up-to-date and environmentally
harmless cleaning and sterilization methods.
Measurement under changing conditions
In preparation or stirring vessels in the food industry,
the properties of the base product as well as the final
product often change with respect to density, consistency,
reflective characteristics and conductivity. Vessels are
alternately filled with products of widely different
compositions, cleaning processes are adapted and
changed. VEGA instruments offer reliable and safe
measurement for all processes.
5
Optimally adapted process fittings
When designing a process adaption for vessels or
pipelines, it is important to select a flawless, hygienic
process fitting suitable to the application.
Diameter, volume and form determine size and type of
the fitting; medium, temperature and pressure the pos-
sible measuring principle. VEGA offers for all measuring
principles hygienic standard and special fittings that can
be optimally cleaned.
Materials for the food industry
All established certificates like 3A, FDA or EHEDG are
available for the instruments used in the food industry.
316 L and Alloy are commonly used base materials.
The implemented elastomers are all approved for the
food industry. Special elastomers are available for
applications with a high fat content > 3 %. All wetted
surfaces as well as those close to the process can resist
the cyclic cleaning and sterilization temperatures.

plics®
is like the icing on the cake
plics®
offers the best prerequisites for maximum
product quality through reliable and exact measure-
ments. To ensure responsible handling of all kinds of
foodstuffs, plics®
instruments come with all relevant
instrument and material certificates of the food
industry.
▪▪ Approvals for hazardous areas
▪▪ Protection rating IP 68 also for compact
instruments with on-site adjustment
▪▪ Plastic and stainless steel housings for severe
chemical and mechanical exposure
▪▪ Instruments with SIL classification for highest
operational safety
Trend-setting measurement technology orientates itself around the people who use it,
that is why we developed plics®
– the world’s first modular product construction kit.
Each of our sensors is built individually from plics®
components and thus optimally fulfils
the requirements of the customer and the application.
Simpler planning with plics®
Being able to select and combine sensor, process fitting,
electronics and housing without restrictions simplifies
instrument selection and engineering for applications in
machines and systems. Cost reduction with plics®
therefore
starts early on in the planning stage.
Clear advantages for the plant builder
Short delivery times, uncomplicated fitting, fast setup and
commissioning save the plant builder a lot of time and
expense. The design, wiring and setup of all VEGA instru-
ments is always the same, so whoever knows this can
readily install and operate any plics®
device and measuring
technique.
Making things easier for the user
plics®
convinces people in daily use because of its high
operational reliability, simplified maintenance and reduced
replacement part stocks resulting from designs that use
many identical components. In this area, too, the consist-
ency of technology and operation simplifies and accelerates
work with changing plics®
instruments. Adjustment always
follows the same menu-driven procedures and is carried
out on PLICSCOM, alternatively using PC based adjustment
software for setup on-plant or via the control room.
8
Instrument adjustment on site with PLICSCOM
The indicating and adjustment module PLICSCOM can be
plugged into any plics®
instrument at any time. It functions as
a measured value indication on the instrument and as an
on-site adjustment device. The structure of the adjustment
menu is clearly organized and makes setup and commissioning
easy. In addition, the status messages are displayed in clear,
readable text. When an instrument is exchanged, PLICSCOM
ensures fast availability of the measuring point: all sensor data
is saved by pressing a key on PLICSCOM and later copied into
the replacement sensor.

PROCESS FIELD BUS
FDT/DTM technology is an innovative, manufacturer-
independent description technology for field instruments.
Complex field instruments can be operated as easily with
laptop computers and PCs as with the current engineering
and operating environments of control systems. With DTMs
the sensors are configurable down to the last detail and
important adjustments can be carried out easily and quick-
ly. As a system-independent operating system for DTMs,
PACTware is the first choice for many field device manu-
facturers. VEGA also delivers the corresponding field de-
vice descriptions for system environments that depend on
EDD description technology.
All current standards for measurement
data transmission
VEGA offers practice oriented solutions: from the
proven 4… 20 mA/HART measurement data transmis-
sion to field bus technologies like Profibus PA or
Foundation Fieldbus to wireless transmission. For
level detection, the selection ranges from contactless
switch to relay and transistor right through to NAMUR
signal.
Instrument adjustment via PC and control system
Communication at all levels
VEGA supports all important standards for uniform,
centralized field instrument operation. If the instruments
are integrated in primary management or control systems,
the field instruments can be accessed for adjustment,
servicing and diagnosis purposes via the existing infra-
structure. Both DTM as well as EDD description technolo-
gies are supported.

Milk – a highly sensitive product
Before it is further processed, the delivered raw milk is
subjected to comprehensive quality checks in the dairy.
It is the base product for the production of milk, yoghurt,
cheese, ice cream and many other products. The milk
is stored at a temperature of approx. +4 °C and gently
stirred until it is fed into various production processes. A
protective atmosphere at approx. +0.5 to +2 bar gauge
pressure protects the milk from contamination. Legal
regulations ensure that the hygienic requirements apply-
ing to the milk industry are adhered to.
Pressure and level measurement with
VEGABAR 53 in the stirring vessel
The measurement technology is exposed to arduous con-
ditions during the cleaning cycles: the empty container is
cleaned with a 2 % to 5 % acid or lye solution at
+60 °C (CIP) and then sterilized with steam at a temperature
of +125 °C (SIP). VEGABAR 53 is particularly suitable for
level measurement because its diaphragm of stainless steel or
Alloy is resistant to aggressive cleaning agents and withstands
cleaning temperatures up to +150 °C.
Level detection with VEGASWING 61
VEGASWING 61 is used for monitoring the upper and
lower limit level. The sensor, which works according to the
tuning fork principle, reliably detects the limit level both un-
der process and cleaning conditions. The tuning fork made of
316L can be optimally cleaned since it is welded absolutely
gap-free to the process fitting.
VEGASWING 61

Level measurement with VEGAFLEX 63 in
the premix and interim storage tank
VEGAFLEX 63 is the right solution for level measurement
in the approx. 1.5 m high vessels. The guided microwave
measuring principle is completely immune to the tempera-
ture shocks and pressure changes. It performs the measur-
ing task simply and reliably within the cramped installation
conditions as well as the changing consistency of the some-
times foamy ice cream mass.
Monitoring the pressure of the homogeni-
zation process with VEGABAR 53
The pressure transmitter VEGABAR 53 is used to monitor
the +140 bar pressure necessary for homogenization. The
robust diaphragm masters the high pressures and resists
the vacuum shocks that occur during the cleaning cycle.

Ice cream production
Ingredients for ice cream
The ingredients for ice cream are milk, sugar and fat or
water, sugar and fruit juices. According to the type of ice
cream, the ingredients are accurately weighed, fed into a
stirring vessel, the so-called “premix” and then mixed.
After that the product is homogenized at a pressure of
approx. +140 bar and pasteurized at +80 °C. The mix is
then cooled down within one minute to +4 °C and put into
interim storage for 6 hours.
12
Yoghurt – born of milk
Fruit yoghurt – a sour milk product
By adding bacteria cultures and slowly warming the milk to
approx. +45 °C, the lactose present in the milk is converted
into lactic acid. This coagulates the protein component –
the milk is “curdled” and gets its sour taste. The yoghurt is
then chilled down so that no further lactic acid is created.
For further processing to fruit yoghurt, berries, nuts or grain
components are stirred in.
Level measurement with VEGAPULS 63 in
the stirring and batch tanks
The radar measuring principle is particularly well suited for
level measurement. VEGAPULS 63 measures the level
reliably without being affected by the density changes of
the product. The contactlessly measuring sensor is not
influenced by the abrasive grain components and fruits in
the yoghurt. The front-flush antenna allows optimal CIP
and SIP cleaning. It is impervious to the waterjet pressure
of the cleaning head and resists the extreme temperature
fluctuations.
Overfill protection with VEGASWING 63
A VEGASWING 63 vibrating level switch mounted in the lid
of the container ensures that the filling process is switched
off at the right time. The stainless steel tuning fork is im-
pervious to the cleaning processes and provides protection
against abrasion and product buildup.
VEGAPULS 63
▪▪ Impervious to pressure and
temperature fluctuations
▪▪ Absolutely front-flush antenna
▪▪ CIP and SIP capable
VEGASWING 63
▪▪ Product independent

Dry run protection with VEGASWING 61
To ensure a reliable switching off of the feed pump, a
VEGASWING 61 is mounted directly in the pipeline. The
stainless steel tuning fork is impervious to the cleaning
processes and provides protection against abrasion and
product buildup.
Monitoring the feed pressure with
VEGABAR 54
The pressure transmitter VEGABAR 54 is used to guaran-
tee a continuous flow rate. With its ceramic measuring cell
it resists both the abrasive fruits or nuts in the yoghurt and
the pressure and vacuum shocks in the pipes.

Chocolate production
VEGACAP 63 as overfill protection
VEGACAP 63 is used to provide reliable detection of the
upper limit level in the large, closed containers. It is unaf-
fected by buildup or the consistency and temperature of
the liquid chocolate. Installation is straightforward and set-
up is as simple.
Continuous level measurement with
VEGABAR 52
For continuous level measurement, a VEGABAR 52 pres-
sure transmitter with ceramic measuring cell is mounted
at the bottom of the container. The absolutely front flush
ceramic diaphragm safeguards the sensor from damage
through abrasion or gumming.
Chocolate – food of the gods
Chocolate production equipment consists of a system of
vessels with agitators as well as a roller mill, a conche and
a pouring machine. After leaving the conche and until it is
further processed, the chocolate is stored at a temperature
of approx. +45 °C in large containers holding up to 60 tons.
An agitator ensures uniform consistency and temperature
of the chocolate mass. The containers are heated via room
heating.
VEGACAP 63
▪▪ Independent of
temperature and pressure
▪▪ Insensitive to buildup
▪▪ Simple setup
VEGABAR 52
▪▪ Resistant to mechanical
stresses
▪▪ Absolutely front-flush
▪▪ EHEDG certified LA process

15
Level measurement in the vessels with
VEGAPULS 61
Since cooling and stoppage lead to buildup and clumping
of the chocolate, the chocolate mass must be transported
and filled in a continuous process. A level-controlled flap
guides the chocolate stream alternately into the one or
other open reservoir. Continuous level measurement is
carried out by two VEGAPULS 61 radar sensors. The non-
contact measurement is immune to abrasion by the ingre-
dients and buildup of the chocolate mass.
Solid chocolate from the pouring machine
After the chocolate has passed through the conching
processes, it is pumped into large containers or work
vessels for further processing and temporarily stored.
The storage temperature as well as the cooling down to
the required +30 °C are decisive for the quality of the
chocolate. Fed by two reservoirs, the machine pours five
tons of chocolate per hour into pre-cooled forms.
VEGAPULS 61
▪▪ Non-contact measurement
▪▪ Small compact design

Fruit processing
Gentle cooking under vacuum with
VEGABAR 55
A VEGABAR 55 pressure transmitter is implemented here to
monitor and control the vacuum in the kettle. The instrument
is absolutely vacuum proof and has excellent temperature
characteristics. The patented self-compensating behaviour of
the METEC®
measuring cell makes a reliable and exact meas-
urement possible even while the medium is being heated up.
For the level measurement in the kettle, another VEGABAR 55
is mounted to the tank bottom. The instrument measures the
hydrostatic pressure and the superimposed vacuum. With the
help of the control system, the exact level can be determined
from the difference between the two sensors.
Jam – fruit in its sweetest form
Jam must be composed of at least 45 % fruit and in its fin-
ished state contain recognizable pieces of fruit. The fruits
are fed into the actual production process only after going
through an in-depth quality control. The seeded fruits and
other ingredients are weighed, filled into a kettle and gen-
tly heated. To preserve product quality, the cooking pro-
cess takes place in a closed vacuum kettle at a tempera-
ture of +65 °C to +85 °C. The fruits thus keep their flavour
and their appearance.
VEGABAR 55

Alcohol as an additive
Level measurement in the alcohol tank
The level in the 1.5 m high alcohol tanks is measured
hydrostatically by a VEGABAR 53 pressure transmitter
mounted at the bottom. Due to the remote housing, the sen-
sor can be adjusted and its measured values read out even
in this explosion-endangered environment.
Overfill protection with VEGASWING 63
A VEGASWING 63 is installed in the lid of the stainless
steel tank to monitor the upper limit level. The maintenance-
free tuning fork switch reliably detects the switch-off point
without being affected by the consistency of the various
alcohols.
Pressure monitoring in the ring main
A VEGABAR 54 is used to monitor the feed pressure in
the pipeline. The sensor allows small process fittings on the
pipe and is resistant to the dynamic CIP and SIP
cleaning processes.
Alcohol supply station
Various alcoholic beverages can be added to confections
to improve their flavor. These liquids are stored in separate
rooms and, when needed, pumped over a ring main with
approx. +1.4 bar pressure directly to the appropriate stir-
ring vessel. Due to the high alcohol content as well as the
storage and processing temperature of +20 °C, the alcohol
storage area is classified as a hazardous zone (Ex zone 1).

Preprocessing
Sugar and flour serve as the basic ingredient of many types
of foods. These bulk solids are stored in silos up to 20 m
high. Filling and emptying is frequently carried out via pneu-
matic systems which transport the product with a feed
pressure of approx. +0.7 bar from the large outer silos to
the decentralized production lines. Once the products arrive
there, they are stored in smaller, 4 m high containers and
kept ready for further processing.
Food ingredients
Continuous level measurement
in the outdoor silos with VEGAPULS 68
A VEGAPULS 68 radar sensor is deployed for continuous
level measurement in the high outdoor silos. The non-con-
tact radar measuring principle is immune to dust and noise,
even during filling.
Monitoring the pressure in the pneumatic
conveyer with VEGABAR 52
Conveying speed and line pressure are regulated with the
help of a VEGABAR 52 pressure transmitter. Due to the
abrasive medium, the VEGABAR 52 with ceramic measuring
cell is especially suitable for this task. The front-flush instal-
lation also avoids clogging of the pressure fitting.

Bread – variety in form and taste
Bread is one of the most important and common foods
worldwide. The offered selection of shapes and tastes is
correspondingly large. The number of recipes is practically
unlimited. Large bakeries put breads with new tastes or in-
gredients on the market practically every day. The ingredi-
ents, mainly flour, yeast, salt and water, are stored in small
containers.
Level detection in the intermediate silos
with VEGAVIB 61
In the smaller silos that serve as temporary storage, the
minimum and maximum levels are detected by two
VEGAVIB 61 vibrating level switches. The rod form of
VEGAVIB 61 prevents product deposits from collecting and
allows installation near the discharge or filling openings.
Level measurement in small vessels with
VEGAPULS 67
VEGAPULS 67 is the ideal solution in the two to three
metre high containers holding baking ingredients because
it is immune to dust and the effects of changing mediums
and measures the level with perfect reliability. Its simple
installation and setup saves time and money.

VEGA Pressure & Level Measurement - Food Industry Applications

  • 1. Industry Information Food Industry Measurement technology for modern food production Tel: +44 (0)191 490 1547 Fax: +44 (0)191 477 5371 Email: northernsales@thorneandderrick.co.uk Website: www.heattracing.co.uk www.thorneanderrick.co.uk
  • 2. 2 Contents Responsibility for people and products 3 Partnership for a demanding industry 4 plics®  – easy is better 6 Adjustment and system integration 8 Application examples: Raw milk 10 Ice cream production 11 Yoghurt – born of milk 12 Chocolate production 14 Fruit processing 16 Alcohol as an additive 17 Food ingredients 18 Instrument overview 20
  • 3. 3 Responsibility for people and products The right technology for every application The VEGA measuring instruments provide reliable data on volumes, levels and pressures. They measure in bulk solids, in sticky media and in liquids, such as dairy products that are stored and processed in a protective atmosphere. Even if abrasive additional ingredients like nuts, berries or grains are mixed in, VEGA sensors still measure reliably and accurately. Modular and cost effective: plics® plics® is the VEGA unique modular instrument system. It allows the user to assemble a tailor-made combination of sensor, process fitting, electronics and housing. The customer gets exactly the measurement technology needed and can put it into operation quickly through a simple, standardized procedure. Safety and hygiene for the food industry ▪▪ CIP and SIP capable sensors for cleaning and sterilization processes ▪▪ Process fitting design according to 3A standard and EHEDG ▪▪ Electro-polished process fittings for heightened surface requirements ▪▪ Sealing materials in compliance with FDA and 3A guidelines ▪▪ Elastomers for applications with fat content > 3 % ▪▪ Pressure transmitter with protection rating IP 69K for protection during high-pressure cleaning The VEGA range of services and products for measurement of level, point level and pressure is setting the standard in the food industry. This is because VEGA systematically combines the latest technologies with comprehensive, industry-specific knowledge, and above all else stands by the company’s guiding principle: long-term, fair co-operation based on high es- teem for products and people.
  • 4. 4 Partnership for a demanding industry In the last ten years, food manufacturers have switched over to letting complete production processes run fully automatically in closed, so-called inline, processes. This guarantees a lower risk of contamination and thus higher product quality. The necessary cleaning processes place heavy demands on measurement technology. Hygiene for process and measurement technology VEGA sensors are designed to withstand all cleaning processes without loss of performance or damage. Fully automatic, closed SIP and CIP processes as well as external cleaning places extremely high requirements on housings, electronics and sensors. No problem for VEGA instruments, because all components are designed exactly for the expected conditions. Process fittings free of dead spaces permit up-to-date and environmentally harmless cleaning and sterilization methods. Measurement under changing conditions In preparation or stirring vessels in the food industry, the properties of the base product as well as the final product often change with respect to density, consistency, reflective characteristics and conductivity. Vessels are alternately filled with products of widely different compositions, cleaning processes are adapted and changed. VEGA instruments offer reliable and safe measurement for all processes.
  • 5. 5 Optimally adapted process fittings When designing a process adaption for vessels or pipelines, it is important to select a flawless, hygienic process fitting suitable to the application. Diameter, volume and form determine size and type of the fitting; medium, temperature and pressure the pos- sible measuring principle. VEGA offers for all measuring principles hygienic standard and special fittings that can be optimally cleaned. Materials for the food industry All established certificates like 3A, FDA or EHEDG are available for the instruments used in the food industry. 316 L and Alloy are commonly used base materials. The implemented elastomers are all approved for the food industry. Special elastomers are available for applications with a high fat content > 3 %. All wetted surfaces as well as those close to the process can resist the cyclic cleaning and sterilization temperatures.

  • 7. 7 plics® is like the icing on the cake plics® offers the best prerequisites for maximum product quality through reliable and exact measure- ments. To ensure responsible handling of all kinds of foodstuffs, plics® instruments come with all relevant instrument and material certificates of the food industry. ▪▪ Approvals for hazardous areas ▪▪ Protection rating IP 68 also for compact instruments with on-site adjustment ▪▪ Plastic and stainless steel housings for severe chemical and mechanical exposure ▪▪ Instruments with SIL classification for highest operational safety Trend-setting measurement technology orientates itself around the people who use it, that is why we developed plics® – the world’s first modular product construction kit. Each of our sensors is built individually from plics® components and thus optimally fulfils the requirements of the customer and the application. Simpler planning with plics® Being able to select and combine sensor, process fitting, electronics and housing without restrictions simplifies instrument selection and engineering for applications in machines and systems. Cost reduction with plics® therefore starts early on in the planning stage. Clear advantages for the plant builder Short delivery times, uncomplicated fitting, fast setup and commissioning save the plant builder a lot of time and expense. The design, wiring and setup of all VEGA instru- ments is always the same, so whoever knows this can readily install and operate any plics® device and measuring technique. Making things easier for the user plics® convinces people in daily use because of its high operational reliability, simplified maintenance and reduced replacement part stocks resulting from designs that use many identical components. In this area, too, the consist- ency of technology and operation simplifies and accelerates work with changing plics® instruments. Adjustment always follows the same menu-driven procedures and is carried out on PLICSCOM, alternatively using PC based adjustment software for setup on-plant or via the control room.
  • 8. 8 Instrument adjustment on site with PLICSCOM The indicating and adjustment module PLICSCOM can be plugged into any plics® instrument at any time. It functions as a measured value indication on the instrument and as an on-site adjustment device. The structure of the adjustment menu is clearly organized and makes setup and commissioning easy. In addition, the status messages are displayed in clear, readable text. When an instrument is exchanged, PLICSCOM ensures fast availability of the measuring point: all sensor data is saved by pressing a key on PLICSCOM and later copied into the replacement sensor. Where man and machine meet: adjustment and system integration
  • 9. 9 P R O F I B U S PROCESS FIELD BUS FDT/DTM technology is an innovative, manufacturer- independent description technology for field instruments. Complex field instruments can be operated as easily with laptop computers and PCs as with the current engineering and operating environments of control systems. With DTMs the sensors are configurable down to the last detail and important adjustments can be carried out easily and quick- ly. As a system-independent operating system for DTMs, PACTware is the first choice for many field device manu- facturers.

  • 10. 10 Milk – a highly sensitive product Before it is further processed, the delivered raw milk is subjected to comprehensive quality checks in the dairy. It is the base product for the production of milk, yoghurt, cheese, ice cream and many other products. The milk is stored at a temperature of approx. +4 °C and gently stirred until it is fed into various production processes. A protective atmosphere at approx. +0.5 to +2 bar gauge pressure protects the milk from contamination. Legal regulations ensure that the hygienic requirements apply- ing to the milk industry are adhered to. Pressure and level measurement with VEGABAR 53 in the stirring vessel The measurement technology is exposed to arduous con- ditions during the cleaning cycles: the empty container is cleaned with a 2 % to 5 % acid or lye solution at +60 °C (CIP) and then sterilized with steam at a temperature of +125 °C (SIP). VEGABAR 53 is particularly suitable for level measurement because its diaphragm of stainless steel or Alloy is resistant to aggressive cleaning agents and withstands cleaning temperatures up to +150 °C. Level detection with VEGASWING 61 VEGASWING 61 is used for monitoring the upper and lower limit level. The sensor, which works according to the tuning fork principle, reliably detects the limit level both un- der process and cleaning conditions. The tuning fork made of 316L can be optimally cleaned since it is welded absolutely gap-free to the process fitting. VEGASWING 61 ▪▪ Product-independent switching point ▪▪ Fully welded ▪▪ Gap and elastomer-free ▪▪ Maintenance-free ▪▪ Good cleanability VEGABAR 53 ▪▪ Fully welded measuring cell ▪▪ Vacuum resistant ▪▪ Cleaning temperatures up to +150 °C ▪▪ Insensitive to ambient humidity Raw milk
  • 11. 11 Level measurement with VEGAFLEX 63 in the premix and interim storage tank VEGAFLEX 63 is the right solution for level measurement in the approx. 1.5 m high vessels. The guided microwave measuring principle is completely immune to the tempera- ture shocks and pressure changes. It performs the measur- ing task simply and reliably within the cramped installation conditions as well as the changing consistency of the some- times foamy ice cream mass. Monitoring the pressure of the homogeni- zation process with VEGABAR 53 The pressure transmitter VEGABAR 53 is used to monitor the +140 bar pressure necessary for homogenization. The robust diaphragm masters the high pressures and resists the vacuum shocks that occur during the cleaning cycle. VEGAFLEX 63 ▪▪ Setup without adjustment ▪▪ Unaffected by foam formation ▪▪ High precision VEGABAR 53 ▪▪ Measuring ranges up to +200 bar ▪▪ Small hygienic process fitting ▪▪ FDA listed oil filling Ice cream production Ingredients for ice cream The ingredients for ice cream are milk, sugar and fat or water, sugar and fruit juices. According to the type of ice cream, the ingredients are accurately weighed, fed into a stirring vessel, the so-called “premix” and then mixed. After that the product is homogenized at a pressure of approx. +140 bar and pasteurized at +80 °C. The mix is then cooled down within one minute to +4 °C and put into interim storage for 6 hours.
  • 12. 12 Yoghurt – born of milk Fruit yoghurt – a sour milk product By adding bacteria cultures and slowly warming the milk to approx. +45 °C, the lactose present in the milk is converted into lactic acid. This coagulates the protein component – the milk is “curdled” and gets its sour taste. The yoghurt is then chilled down so that no further lactic acid is created. For further processing to fruit yoghurt, berries, nuts or grain components are stirred in. Level measurement with VEGAPULS 63 in the stirring and batch tanks The radar measuring principle is particularly well suited for level measurement. VEGAPULS 63 measures the level reliably without being affected by the density changes of the product. The contactlessly measuring sensor is not influenced by the abrasive grain components and fruits in the yoghurt. The front-flush antenna allows optimal CIP and SIP cleaning. It is impervious to the waterjet pressure of the cleaning head and resists the extreme temperature fluctuations. Overfill protection with VEGASWING 63 A VEGASWING 63 vibrating level switch mounted in the lid of the container ensures that the filling process is switched off at the right time. The stainless steel tuning fork is im- pervious to the cleaning processes and provides protection against abrasion and product buildup. VEGAPULS 63 ▪▪ Impervious to pressure and temperature fluctuations ▪▪ Absolutely front-flush antenna ▪▪ CIP and SIP capable VEGASWING 63 ▪▪ Product independent switching point ▪▪ Maintenance-free, no moving parts ▪▪ Simple installation ▪▪ Polished tuning fork
  • 13. 13 Dry run protection with VEGASWING 61 To ensure a reliable switching off of the feed pump, a VEGASWING 61 is mounted directly in the pipeline. The stainless steel tuning fork is impervious to the cleaning processes and provides protection against abrasion and product buildup. Monitoring the feed pressure with VEGABAR 54 The pressure transmitter VEGABAR 54 is used to guaran- tee a continuous flow rate. With its ceramic measuring cell it resists both the abrasive fruits or nuts in the yoghurt and the pressure and vacuum shocks in the pipes.

  • 14. 14 Chocolate production VEGACAP 63 as overfill protection VEGACAP 63 is used to provide reliable detection of the upper limit level in the large, closed containers. It is unaf- fected by buildup or the consistency and temperature of the liquid chocolate. Installation is straightforward and set- up is as simple. Continuous level measurement with VEGABAR 52 For continuous level measurement, a VEGABAR 52 pres- sure transmitter with ceramic measuring cell is mounted at the bottom of the container. The absolutely front flush ceramic diaphragm safeguards the sensor from damage through abrasion or gumming. Chocolate – food of the gods Chocolate production equipment consists of a system of vessels with agitators as well as a roller mill, a conche and a pouring machine. After leaving the conche and until it is further processed, the chocolate is stored at a temperature of approx. +45 °C in large containers holding up to 60 tons. An agitator ensures uniform consistency and temperature of the chocolate mass. The containers are heated via room heating. VEGACAP 63 ▪▪ Independent of temperature and pressure ▪▪ Insensitive to buildup ▪▪ Simple setup VEGABAR 52 ▪▪ Resistant to mechanical stresses ▪▪ Absolutely front-flush ▪▪ EHEDG certified LA process fitting
  • 15. 15 Level measurement in the vessels with VEGAPULS 61 Since cooling and stoppage lead to buildup and clumping of the chocolate, the chocolate mass must be transported and filled in a continuous process. A level-controlled flap guides the chocolate stream alternately into the one or other open reservoir. Continuous level measurement is carried out by two VEGAPULS 61 radar sensors. The non- contact measurement is immune to abrasion by the ingre- dients and buildup of the chocolate mass. Solid chocolate from the pouring machine After the chocolate has passed through the conching processes, it is pumped into large containers or work vessels for further processing and temporarily stored. The storage temperature as well as the cooling down to the required +30 °C are decisive for the quality of the chocolate. Fed by two reservoirs, the machine pours five tons of chocolate per hour into pre-cooled forms. VEGAPULS 61 ▪▪ Non-contact measurement ▪▪ Small compact design ▪▪ Simple installation
  • 16. 16 Fruit processing Gentle cooking under vacuum with VEGABAR 55 A VEGABAR 55 pressure transmitter is implemented here to monitor and control the vacuum in the kettle. The instrument is absolutely vacuum proof and has excellent temperature characteristics. The patented self-compensating behaviour of the METEC® measuring cell makes a reliable and exact meas- urement possible even while the medium is being heated up. For the level measurement in the kettle, another VEGABAR 55 is mounted to the tank bottom. The instrument measures the hydrostatic pressure and the superimposed vacuum. With the help of the control system, the exact level can be determined from the difference between the two sensors. Jam – fruit in its sweetest form Jam must be composed of at least 45 % fruit and in its fin- ished state contain recognizable pieces of fruit. The fruits are fed into the actual production process only after going through an in-depth quality control. The seeded fruits and other ingredients are weighed, filled into a kettle and gen- tly heated. To preserve product quality, the cooking pro- cess takes place in a closed vacuum kettle at a tempera- ture of +65 °C to +85 °C. The fruits thus keep their flavour and their appearance. VEGABAR 55 ▪▪ Absolutely vacuum resistant ▪▪ CIP and SIP capable ▪▪ Characteristics deviation 0.075 %
  • 17. 17 Alcohol as an additive Level measurement in the alcohol tank The level in the 1.5 m high alcohol tanks is measured hydrostatically by a VEGABAR 53 pressure transmitter mounted at the bottom. Due to the remote housing, the sen- sor can be adjusted and its measured values read out even in this explosion-endangered environment. Overfill protection with VEGASWING 63 A VEGASWING 63 is installed in the lid of the stainless steel tank to monitor the upper limit level. The maintenance- free tuning fork switch reliably detects the switch-off point without being affected by the consistency of the various alcohols. Pressure monitoring in the ring main A VEGABAR 54 is used to monitor the feed pressure in the pipeline. The sensor allows small process fittings on the pipe and is resistant to the dynamic CIP and SIP cleaning processes. Alcohol supply station Various alcoholic beverages can be added to confections to improve their flavor. These liquids are stored in separate rooms and, when needed, pumped over a ring main with approx. +1.4 bar pressure directly to the appropriate stir- ring vessel. Due to the high alcohol content as well as the storage and processing temperature of +20 °C, the alcohol storage area is classified as a hazardous zone (Ex zone 1).

These bulk solids are stored in silos up to 20 m high. Filling and emptying is frequently carried out via pneu- matic systems which transport the product with a feed pressure of approx. +0.7 bar from the large outer silos to the decentralized production lines. Once the products arrive there, they are stored in smaller, 4 m high containers and kept ready for further processing. Food ingredients Continuous level measurement in the outdoor silos with VEGAPULS 68 A VEGAPULS 68 radar sensor is deployed for continuous level measurement in the high outdoor silos. The non-con- tact radar measuring principle is immune to dust and noise, even during filling. Monitoring the pressure in the pneumatic conveyer with VEGABAR 52 Conveying speed and line pressure are regulated with the help of a VEGABAR 52 pressure transmitter. Due to the abrasive medium, the VEGABAR 52 with ceramic measuring cell is especially suitable for this task. The front-flush instal- lation also avoids clogging of the pressure fitting.
