The correct indication of volume despite the foam that is generated during the rousing is top priority. Any discrepancy would generate losses between the brewing and packaging departments.
In a study lasting more than a year, experts from SABMiller compared the Sitrans LR250 HEA radar level transmitter prototype – commercially available since September 2014 – against similar systems from other manufacturers. All of the devices were put through their paces. The outcome is that the new transmitter, the first system of its kind that satisfies the stringent requirements of EHEDG aseptic, has been accepted as part of the SABMiller standard for radar level measurement for its international brewing activities
Radar level transmitter SITRANS LR250 HEA
Easy to install, as it fits on top of the tanks to existing process connections
Easy to access (when maintenance is needed) as the electronics can be removed without opening/emptying the tank
Minimizes losses of time or product with synchronizing the tank emptying with the bottle feed to the filling machine

The results are quite impressive: SITRANS LR250 HEA (Hygienic Encapsulated Antenna) is not only much cheaper than ultrasonic-based systems offering comparable performance, but also designed so that the sensor’s electronics can be replaced without having to disrupt the process by depressurizing and taking the tank offline.
