Measure weight instead of conductivity for more accurate liquid identification
Reduce ecological footprint by lowering quantity of grease transferred into wastewater
SITRANS FC430 Coriolis flowmeter installed to measure specific weight of liquid, enabling full separation of water, grease and residues
FC430 also being used to monitor constant flow of cooling machines to guarantee quality at all times
Additional Siemens density measurement solution with 0.1% accuracy also installed to help differentiate between emulsion and layer of grease
“Thanks to the user-friendly display, system operation is intuitive. And the installation is entirely automated. So far, there have not been any issues whatsoever. This is a perfect example of a 100% reliable solution. We could not hope for more.”
Eric Myny, Project Manager, Vandemoortele

The Vandemoortele plant in Izegem, Belgium, produces high-value frozen bakery products, packed margarines and shortenings.
For many years, Vandemoortele separated grease and water from re-melted margarines by measuring the conductivity of each liquid with the help of two level detection units. This method of separation method was not entirely reliable and led to wastage of good fats. To save money and reduce pollution, Vandemoortele needed a more accurate way to identify the liquids.
