Central beverage supply systems at large-scale events
The Picomag electromagnetic flowmeter from Endress+Hauser installed in the Pschorr Oktoberfest tent in Munich
Since 2010, the Paulaner Brewery Group has been using underground ring pipelines to supply beer to the Oktoberfest tents. This year, the brewery Pschorr installed a world premiere in the new Bräurosl tent: the first aboveground vacuum isolated piping (VIP) for the central beer supply system installed directly in the tent. Endress+Hauser measuring instruments reliably monitor most of the relevant parameters for the beverage supply.

Picomag flowmeters with a nominal diameter of DN 20 monitor the volume of beer flowing from the transfer piping to the taps. In the upper left a Liquicap M FMI51 that continuously monitors the level.
Results
-
14,400 liters of beer are fed each hour to six taps. Eight Picomag flowmeters, located in four so-called Bierant©, monitor the amount of beer that flows from the transfer piping to the taps.
-
30 other Picomag flowmeters monitor the flow of the non-alcoholic beverages from the keg to the tap.
-
50% less installation and deinstallation times thanks to the modular system.
-
Easy integration into common fieldbus systems and simple setup of cloud connectivity thanks to the integrated IO-Link interface with all Picomag.
“Endress+Hauser is a reliable partner for the realization of our innovative concepts for the future. Measurement instrumentation plays an important role.”

Customer challenge
The existing underground ring piping system is tied to the location and subject to weather conditions. This eliminates any flexibility in the designing the site and makes it difficult to carry out any repair or maintenance work.
Realization
The amount of beer and non-alcoholic beverages that flows to the taps is monitored by 38 Picomags, the pocket-sized electromagnetic flowmeter from Endress+Hauser. The Picomag also simultaneously monitors the temperature and conductivity, both important values for the CIP cleaning. The flowmeter furthermore comes with an integrated IO-Link interface as a standard feature and as a result can be easily integrated into common fieldbus systems. Cloud connectivity is also simple to establish.
