Food and pharmaceuticals
Safe and constant flow
When every microliter counts, you need measurement and control technology that works with the utmost precision under changing production conditions.
- Dosing of additives (flavourings, colourings, vitamins)
- Dosing of pharmaceuticals
- Sterilization of packaging
- Aeration of foodstuffs (for example ice cream)
- Gas flow control in bioreactors and fermenters
Aeration
Aeration is a process in which air or gases are mixed or circulated into a substance. A constant supply of air is important in the production of ice cream, for example, in order to achieve a smooth structure. In the beer brewing process, the controlled supply of oxygen during fermentation is crucial. Our Bronkhorst mass flow meters and controllers enable flow ranges of up to 10000 ln/min air equivalent.
Dosing
The use of expensive and volatile substances is a major issue for many industries. This applies, for example, to food and beverage production, where the dosing of additives is important for product quality and waste prevention. The precise supply of ultra-low liquid rates is also important in the pharmaceutical industry. Our Bronkhorst Coriolis mass flow meters are used for this purpose. Our Coriolis mass flow meters from Bronkhorst are used for this purpose.
Flow control
Our devices can be used for flow control of liquids, gases and evaporation. Bronkhorst’s gas flow regulators are suitable for bioreactor applications, for example, where they ensure bacterial growth. They are also used for steam generation and liquid flow control in sterilization processes, such as aseptic packaging in the food industry.
