Coriolis flowmeter for the food industry

Stringent hygienic requirements are at the core of process instrumentation in the food and beverage industry. The Proline Promass S stainless steel Coriolis flowmeter meets the hygienic requirements for dairies, wineries and food processing plants and delivers a high level of accuracy (0.1% of reading).

The single bent tube design of the Promass S flowmeter ensures it is less affected by temperature changes that typically affect Coriolis mass flowmeters with dual bent measuring tubes, significantly reducing the possibility of inaccurate measurements. The single bent tube design also makes the sensor automatically drainable and easily cleanable. It also reduces low pressure loss and facilitates the use of cleaning pigs.

The absence of a flow splitter ensures minimal shearing (thus more ‘gentle’ product treatment) and a decreased possibility of tube blockage. Its design also ensures faster cleaning time between batches, increasing plant productivity. The Promass S meets EHEDG, 3A, FDA and SIL2 requirements and is capable of handling the stringent CIP and SIP processes employed in the food and beverage industry.

This multivariable sensor caters for a variety of measurements including mass flow, volume flow, density, concentration and temperature. With no moving parts and no seals, the device is virtually maintenance free, ensuring high reliability. The guided software set-up makes Promass S easy to commission.

The sensor features intelligent tooling and is available with the Endress+Hauser suite of FieldCheck and FieldCare products that enable on-site diagnostics, verification and simulation, as well as serviceability and process availability.
