Everything starts with the receipt of raw materials, support materials and additives. Process optimization in terms of efficiency can already begin during this step of the process.
For many food manufacturers, raw materials accounting is a highly important and frequently discussed topic. The idea is to measure the exact amount of delivered raw materials, such as milk, oil or alcohol, and then precisely allocate how much is used in each of the individual production steps. The goal is to provide as much transparency as possible and gain full cost control.
Receiving and accounting raw materials is the first step in any food manufacturing process. This illustration shows the various measuring points during reception of milk.
Measuring the reception of raw materials with a Coriolis flowmeter
Inline measurements with Coriolis-based Proline Promass Q flowmeters offer food manufacturers a one-of-a-kind opportunity to optimize their raw materials accounting. Thanks to the integrated, patented Multi-Frequency-Technology (MFT), measurement discrepancies caused by entrained air and gas in the liquid are virtually eliminated.
Gas entrainment is a frequently encountered problem in food manufacturing. Raw materials can easily mix with air in the tanks during delivery, distorting the measurement values at the delivery point and further down the process. With Promass Q, such problems are a thing of the past.

Discover how Endress+Hauser solved the challenges with Meierei Barmstedt, a northern German dairy
Producers face huge challenges in food manufacturing. Unwanted entrained air or gas bubbles, for example, result in measurement errors of the raw material, such as when receiving raw milk. Proline Promass Q from Endress+Hauser solves this problem at Meierei Barmstedt, a northern German dairy, offering highly accurate measurement.
Accurate raw materials accounting
Meierei Barmstedt eliminates measurement discrepancies caused by gas entrainment with Coriolis flowmeter Promass Q from Endress+Hauser.
“Promass Q is able to measure mass flow, volume flow, density and temperature. A tremendous advantage for us, because we can get reliable information for raw material resource planning and balancing.”

Discover more opportunities where inline measurement can increase productivity
Efficient production
In order to maintain their competitiveness, Food & Beverage manufacturer must increase their throughput, improve their yields, and minimize their production losses.
With rising raw material costs, monitoring of these raw materials takes on a new significance. Inline process measurement can help you avoid loss and increase productivity.
Handle increasing demands in mixing and blending of your beverages such as sports drinks, protein smoothies and energy drinks. Benefit from precise measurements to ensure consistent product quality.
The clean-in-place (CIP) process can be optimized in many ways. Small changes can have a big impact. One major trend is the use of inline process measurements to control relevant cleaning parameters.
