Ensure consistent product quality through accurate measurement of sugar concentration in wort prior to fermentation.
At Royal Unibrew in Faxe, Denmark, the new Sitrans
FC430 Coriolis flowmeter from Siemens demonstrated superior measurement
capabilities and performance stability in calculating the ºPlato of unfermented
beer.
A SITRANS FC430 was installed adjacent to the whirlpool to measure outbound wort. This location was considered ideal for testing the stability of the meter due to constantly fluctuating flow rates and temperatures.
The existing Coriolis meters were left in place to serve as reference points. The SITRANS FC430 was then subject to a rigorous series of assessments that were carried out multiple times over an 8-month period.
“The SITRANS FC430 provides density and temperature readings accurately, reliably and with good response times, which is exactly what our brewery needs. We absolutely feel confident in the new generation of Coriolis flow technology from Siemens.”
