Photoelectric sensor monitors cheese production
Requirement
In cheese presses the remaining whey of the curd in a cheese mould is forced out by mechanical pressure. After filling the press numerous compressed air cylinders apply the required pressure.
Implementation
ifm through-beam sensors of the OG wetline series monitor the correct function of the compressed air cylinders in each string of the press.
Customer benefits
If after pressing a compressed air cylinder does not return to its initial position, emptying the cheese press can lead to damage and downtime. This can be avoided by detecting the individual cylinders.
