Non-invasive measurement solution, balancing safety, efficiency and ease of installation.Non-disruptive temperature measurement#Endress+Hauser
During the beer production process, the CIP (in-process cleaning) system has specific requirements for temperature control. Whether the cleaning temperature meets the standards directly affects the cleaning efficiency and food safety level.https://heiautomation.com/product/
However, in actual production sites, many #CIP systems that have already been put into operation did not have sufficient on-site temperature measurement points set during the design phase. As the requirements for operation and management have increased, process temperature has gradually become a key parameter that needs to be monitored.#Xiamen Shengyuanke Trading Co., Ltd.
If the traditional invasive temperature measurement method is adopted, it usually requires making holes in the pipeline and arranging for shutdown construction. This process is quite difficult and costly, and it has become a major obstacle for on-site addition of measurement points.https://www.youtube.com/@%E6%9B%BE%E6%85%A7%E5%A9%B7-z6j/shorts
Customer background: The actual demand of a large brewery located in the southern region of China
When the factory evaluated its existing CIP cleaning system, it was found that there was still a lack of an online temperature measurement point in the system, making it difficult to monitor and record the temperature information during the cleaning process.
When evaluating traditional invasive temperature measurement solutions, it is necessary to make pipe openings and halt the construction work, which limits the on-site implementation conditions. Therefore, the factory hopes to introduce a solution that does not require downtime to add new temperature measurement points, in order to improve the temperature monitoring capability during the CIP process.
Solution: #TM611 Non-Invasive Thermometer for On-Site Trial Usehttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100087291657130
Under non-stop operation conditions, the #Endress+Hauser TM611 non-intrusive thermometer was introduced on-site for trial verification.
The application conditions are as follows:
- Application location: CIP cleaning pipelinehttps://heiautomation.com/
- Pipe specification: DN40 (outer diameter approximately 41 mm)
- Application purpose: Add temperature measurement points to the existing pipeline to achieve process monitoring.
The TM611 is installed on the outer surface of the pipeline and measures through a precise bonding process. The entire process does not require any drilling, welding, or modification to the existing pipeline structure.
Trial results: Measurement performance and operational status
Measurement performance
The on-site trial results show that the #equipment operates stably, the temperature measurement data is continuous and reliable, and the temperature change trend is consistent with the actual CIP operation conditions, which can meet the on-site process monitoring requirements.https://heiautomation.com/
Installation and operation status
The installation process did not affect the production operation.
- The implementation period is short and the construction is convenient.
No faults occurred during operation.
Application effect: Completing the filling of key measurement points without stopping the machine.
Through this trial, the following was achieved on-site:
Successfully added temperature measurement points without shutting down the system.
- Avoid risks associated with pipe opening and modificationhttps://heiautomation.com/contact-us/
Reduce construction costs and potential production losses
Improve the temperature monitoring capability of the CIP process
Customer conclusion (original text of the trial report)
After on-site trial use, the #TM611 non-invasive thermometer has stable operation and reliable measurement performance. It can meet the temperature monitoring requirements of the CIP system and has good engineering applicability. It is recommended to be widely applied in similar working conditions where no shutdown for renovation is possible.https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UC5jh-_J8N51BACPDqMnnT6Q/videos/short?filter=%5B%5D&sort=%7B%22columnType%22%3A%22date%22%2C%22sortOrder%22%3A%22DESCENDING%22%7D
