Pressure monitoring in homogenisers

Requirement
Homogenisation is an important process in the milk-processing and fat-processing industries. For a targeted and reproducible process, the pressure conditions in the pump aggregate must be precisely monitored or regulated.

Implementation
The analogue output of the PY9000 pressure sensor is connected to the control of the piston pump and the user can define the pressure corridor for adjusting the aggregate to the nozzle gap.

Customer benefits
The drift-free and long-term stable ceramic measuring cell of PY9000 does not require the, otherwise common, diaphragm seal. The patented tried-and-tested measuring cell support ensures long-term and reliable operation. Using the additional switching output of the sensor, an emergency switch-off can be triggered within just a few milliseconds when a predefined maximum pressure is exceeded.
