T E S T I N G DOSIC THE COMPACT STAINLESS-STEEL FLOW SENSOR FROM SICK New Zealand designed and manufactured Suspended Solids Sensors and Turbidity Meters for improved process control of Dairy, www.foodtechnology.co.nz 33 DOSIC®: THE COMPACT STAINLESS-STEEL SENSOR FOR FLEXIBLE FLOW MEASUREMENT For more information please visit www.sick.co.nz or call 0800 222 278 (Tollfree). FT388 The new non-contact DOSIC ultrasonic flow sensor is used to detect the flow volume of conductive and non-conductive liquids, and the rugged and compact model combined with a hygienic design ensures highly reliable measurement results. This makes the sensor ideal for a wide range of application possibilities, including those where space restrictions or aggressive media play a role. Two configurable digital inputs and outputs, and up to two analogue outputs - as well as an IO-Link interface to a superordinate control unit - ensure that users get just the right start position. The IO-Link reduces cabling and also enables complete control and monitoring of the sensor in Industry 4.0 machine environments. The absence of moving parts in the sensor eliminates potential contamination risks in the demanding hygienic environments of the food industry. Also, the sensor has a straight, seal-free and self-emptying measuring tube made of high-quality stainless steel. The high-quality stainless-steel housing also provides the necessary ruggedness and resistance. It goes without saying, therefore, that the sensor has EHEDG certification and demonstrates FDA conformity. Since there is no contact between the sensor and the flowing media, and the flow volume is determined in a non-contact manner, aggressive cleaning agents in CIP and SIP operations are not a problem either. The sensor can easily withstand temperatures up to 143 degrees Celsius in SIP processes for up to one hour. www.sick.co.nz Food and Beverage. www.quadbeam.com FT394 By using four-beam ratio-metric technology, Quadbeam Technologies sensors compensate for contamination build-up on the sensor surface and ageing of the electronics – which means very good repeatability and accuracy, giving the ability to accurately monitor and control inline suspended solids in real time. Manufactured in New Zealand, Quadbeam Technologies sensors were originally developed to provide improved data for loss monitoring for the New Zealand dairy process Industry. Since then, the range of products has now broadened to encompass a wide range of suspended solids and turbidity monitoring and control applications.The simple user interface means easy calibration against site standards, ensuring data is relevant to all. Sensor heads are manufactured from solid polymer, there are no glass lenses and no opportunity for the inline suspended solids sensors to leak. Having saved customers many millions of dollars through improved process performance, Quadbeam is inviting queries from prospective clients to move to next-level efficiency. SENSORS SAVE MONEY
