Clamp-on ultrasonic flow meters provide non-intrusive and non-invasive measurement.

For this reason, they are versatile and hygienic measurement solutions for the food and beverage industries. The food and beverage industries are generally characterized by high water consumption and considerable volumes of wastewater discharge. For this reason, they face significant costs for water supply and trade effluent disposal. In addition to that, pumping, water, and effluent treatment costs must be considered.

Water supply and waste disposal expenses, increasing global competition in the food and beverage industry, rising raw material prices, and energy supply rates drive the importance of having more efficient and optimized production processes.

For these reasons, monitoring liquid flow processes with the highest precision and reliability is crucial for an efficient process in the food and beverage industry.
Monitoring internal flow processes and water supply and discharge lines requires flow meters to be retrofitted or spot measurements to be performed as part of site surveys. The instruments required for these tasks must be flexible, hygienic, quick to install, and easy to operate.

Some typical applications include:

  • Performance verification of pumps, valves, and inline flow meters
  • Heat quantity measurement in heating and cooling lines
  • Monitoring of water and raw material consumption
  • Flow measurement of liquid products and ingredients
  • Monitoring of CIP washing processes
  • Pump and valve control
  • Discharge measurement

Differential features

  • Hygienic: By being installed on the outside of the pipe, they do not come into contact with the product, making them highly recommended equipment for the food industry as there is no intrusion or product contamination.
  • Versatile: With the same equipment, we can measure in pipes from 0.5″ to 300″ and from very low ranges to high flow rates.
  • Response time of less than one second: Resulting in almost immediate readings.
  • High temperature range: The range spans from -200°C to 400°C.
  • Electrical energy consumption measurement: Allows for monitoring temperature changes in almost any flowing liquid.
