Quality control for beer brewers & breweries
All processes in the beer production must be designed to ensure continuously high product quality
Beer is brewed using naturally grown products that vary from year to year and from harvest to harvest. The brewer must react to these changes to produce a beer of stable quality, and moreover, the beer must also taste the same year after year in order to meet the customer's expectations. To hit this moving target, a lot of experience is necessary. And that is the art of brewing beer.

Fermentation
The goal of fermentation is to convert the malt sugar into alcohol. Reliable measurement of temperature, extract, and alcohol as well as monitoring the fermentation process are crucial to ensure consistent quality batch after batch.
Our expertise in the field
High quality RTDs in hygienic design combined with ultra-fast response time guarantee optimum temperature control. Continuous measurement of all relevant parameters in the fermentation process provides laboratory-accurate and reliable information in real time, thus enabling precise process control.
- Improve your temperature control with our digital thermometer iTHERM TM411.
- Optimize your fermentation process with the multi-sensor measuring device Fermentation Monitor QWX43.

Filtration
The major challenge of the conventional filtration process is related to the diatomaceous earth filtration because the diatomaceous earth can vary in quality. It is problematic for handling and disposal since it is hazardous and generates large amounts of effluent.
Our expertise in the field
Differential pressure is a common indicator for filter performance. Conventional DP transmitters or electronic DP systems provide the needed reliability.
- Improve reliability and optimize your filter performance with the electronic differential pressure system Deltabar FMD71.

Color based in-line detection of beer types
Breweries often produce many different types of beer. It is quite a challenge to keep a clear overview in production to ensure proper filling.
Our expertise in the field
To ensure production runs smoothly and to reduce beer loss, manufacturers must, where possible, distinguish the individual beer types automatically and directly inline. Dual-channel photometers are used for the measurement, making it possible to analyze color absorbance according to EBC guidelines. Together with a conductivity measurement, the individual types can be identified.
- Rely on our optical sensor OUSAF22 for a precise inline color measurement.
- Use the digital conductivity sensor Indumax CLS54D.

Cleaning in place (CIP) optimization
CIP concentration is critical to food safety but also has big impact on the use of detergent and wastewater costs.
Our expertise in the field
Highly accurate conductivity measurement ensures the exact calculation of the required concentration. Level measurement of aggressive chemicals can be solved using different options depending on tank size and user preference.
- Ensure minimal beer loss during beer/water transitions thanks to the very fast temperature compensation of our conductivity transmitters.
- Rely on the most common measuring principles hydrostatic level measurement and radar level measurement.
- Discover more innovative sensor technologies to optimize your Clean-In-Place (CIP) process.
