Level Sensors for Brewery Production Plant

The production of beer starts with germinating the barley grain by drenching the barley in the water to encourage the grains to sprout out and then dried it. This process is called "malting". As the barley becomes wet so it can be stick on the instrument probe. SLA Series is a justified solution which has coating immunity and for maintenance-free solution SLM is well suited.

During malting process hot water is needed in which barley is immersed. The hot water need to be stored in the tank as it is required during processing of beer. For calibration free solution Elixir can be used and the water tank storage need instrument which resist high temperature. SLC Series has high temperature durability.

The barley grains are hydrated and activates the malt enzymes which convert grain into fermentable sugar.This process is known as mashing and the material which is made during this process is stored in mash tun. For vibrating fork type level sensor use Elixir-T-Uni which has smoother fork and Elixir which ensures longer running life.

The process in which mash is isolated into clear liquid known as wort and the remaining grains. This process of extraction is known as lautering. Elixir can be useful as it is unaffected by fluid movement. For hygienic purpose Elixir-T-Uni is a proven solution.

The clear liquid "wort" obtained from lautering process is boiled with hops in the large tank which is called as wort cooker. For buildup immunity Elixir-T-Uni is perfect solution and Elixir can also be used as it has fork erosion alarm.

After wort is cooled, yeast is added to it and now the material is ready to ferment. During fermentation, the material becomes viscous and Sticky. Coat-Endure is immune to coating which proves to be best solution in this type of application.

Yeast is the microorganism that is responsible for fermentation in beer. Yeast metabolises the sugar which produces alcohol and carbon dioxide, turns wort into beer. Use SLA Series in which calibration is possible for remote location and for sticky application Coat-Endure is used.

Aging tank is also known as secondary fermentation tank. The secondary fermentation is used when beer is required for long storage before packaging. For large storage tank SLA Series is useful which is available in rope probe arrangement and SLC which ignores material buildup is well suited.

The clarifying agent is added to beer which precipitate out of the beer along with protein solids in the finished product and this process makes the beer bright and clean. For small tanks Elixir is compatible and get easily installed.
