Minimize product loss during phase change

Mix Phase Reduction enables the customer to reduce product loss when switching between water and product and vice versa.

Mix Phase Reduction comprises of*:

• Sensors
• Update of the existing software programs, PLC and local HMI
• Valves

*depending on existing version the scope will vary

• Due to a very specific solution of the inlet valve arrangement of the balance tank, a reduction of the mixing phase can be realized.
  
  
• Other improvements apply to the inlet solution, which carries an electronic level control. The device controls the feed pump if cream is processed and the inlet valve if milk is processed.
  
  
• The frequency controlled product pump is also linked to this device. In addition, a frequency controlled pump will have a lower energy consumption.

Reduce product loss

A reduction in product loss, a substantial annual volume, can add up to a substantial amount of money.

Reduce operational cost

Depending on production schedule and plant set-up, very favorable payback numbers can be achieved.

Reduce environmental impact

Reductions in product loss also result in much less effluence produced, positively impacting environmental values
