Milk is usually delivered to a plant in tankers and tends to reach its destination aerated because of the moving that happens during transportation. The foaming and entrained air make measuring raw milk upon intake challenging. De-aerators can be used to solve the issue but are costly, and the process is time-consuming. Trucks also can carry debris that end up weighed on scales and that is washed away after milk's offload, so when milk is weighted again readings are inaccurate. Eliminating truck scales and reducing the use of de-aerators with appropriate gas void fraction (GVF) in favor of a more advanced technology that distinguishes air from milk (two-phase flow) results in reduction in measurement inaccuracies, unloading time, labor and maintenance costs. Micro Motion H-Series Coriolis Flow Meters are rated for hygienic, 3A and EHEDG applications, and allow for precise measuring of milk mass and density. With consistent Solids Non-Fat (SNF) readings they can also monitor milk fat.
Ideal for hygienic process-control applications, H-Series flow meters are accurate, low frequency, fit-and-forget meters with a compact, drainable, cleanable design. Get reliable performance under extreme process conditions, including entrained gas.
