Measurement Solutions for Sterilizing and Drying Processes in Wet Pet Food Production
Ensure food safety and desired product quality during wet pet food production.
Reliable measurement instrumentation for wet pet food finishing
Once a batch comes out of the cooker, wet and dry pet food products typically take different finishing and packaging paths. Wet pet food often goes to a canning or sealed tray line where product is precisely filled into the cans. Next the cans are sterilized for over an hour at roughly 250ºF in a hydrostatic cooker to achieve commercial sterility. During sterilizing it is crucial to keep a close eye on steam consumption for energy analysis and to reach desired sustainability goals. Once sterilized the pet food cans and trays are rapidly cooled and dried to be ready for labeling and packaging. Emerson's advanced measurement instrumentation can be used during sterilizing, drying, and packaging processes to detect product leaks before product is shipped and to monitor and control steam quality.

Product Solutions
The Rosemount CT4215 is an inline system that accurately tests 100% of food and beverage product packages going through the production lines to ensure seal integrity. This system measures up to 200 packs per minute, detects trace gases from defective packs, and instantly rejects them without disrupting production. Engineered with patented Quantum Cascade Laser (QCL) technology and designed with a small footprint, it is easy to install and configure, and offers lifetime low maintenance costs.
- 100% of all products on the production line are tested in real time to assure seal integrity
- Measures up to 200 packs per minute for fast performance
- Fully-automated, high-speed detection and rejection of defective products without line interference reduces downtime

Rosemount 8800 Series Vortex Flow Meters offer world-class reliability with a gasket-free, non-clog meter body that eliminates potential leak points, resulting in maximum process availability and fewer unscheduled shutdowns. The unique design of Emerson's Rosemount 8800 Vortex Flow Meters features isolated sensors that eliminate the need to break process seals for flow and temperature sensor replacement.
- An isolated sensor allows for online replacement without breaking the process seal
- Increase plant availability and eliminate potential leak points with a unique gasket-free meter body design
- Eliminate downtime and maintenance costs associated with plugged impulse lines with a non-clog meter body design

The Rosemount 3051SFA Annubar Flow Meter is a no-equal solution with a patented, averaging pitot tube that delivers superior measurement accuracy over a wide flow range. Its patented T-shaped sensor is engineered with an integrated thermowell, capable of obtaining measurements via a single pipe penetration while maintaining a small profile in the pipe to reduce permanent pressure loss and increase energy savings. This flow meter is also engineered with built-in flow calculations for fully compensated mass flow measurements and is offered with multiple communication protocols including WirelessHART®.
- Designed with built-in flow calculations for direct reporting of fully-compensated mass flow
- Advanced diagnostics provide diagnostic coverage to detect abnormal process conditions and electrical loop issues
- Callendar-Van Dusen sensor matching improves temperature accuracy enabling best-in-class flow calculations
