Level measurement and point level detection
Measuring point:
Tank
Measuring range up to:
3 m
Medium:
Liquid chocolate
Process temperature:
+20 … +100 °C
Process pressure:
0 … +5 bar

Buildup, abrasion, adhesions

Application

After the “conching” process the liquid chocolate is kept in large tanks for further processing. An agitator stirs the chocolate “mass” to maintain a uniform consistency and temperature in the vessel. A reliable level measurement is required in both the chocolate tank and the downstream filler hoppers to control the production process.
