From March 19 to 22, 2024, Endress+Hauser will be an exhibitor at Anuga FoodTec in Cologne, showcasing measurement technology solutions and services for hygienic production processes and utilities in the beverage and food industry. "Starting from inline measurement technology for sustainability, solutions for new food production in fermentation processes, proven Memosens sensors for disinfection applications, to live demonstrations for calibration and verification of measuring devices – we look forward to presenting a broad portfolio of innovations," says Tim Schrodt, Industry Manager at Endress+Hauser.

As a global partner, Endress+Hauser supports the food industry particularly in the areas of sustainability and food safety. Through accredited calibration services and modern measurement technology that self-calibrates and monitors itself, the company offers innovative solutions. The latest devices from Endress+Hauser enable plant operators to monitor fermentation processes, disinfection measures, and water cycles online. Furthermore, the measurement technology supports the digitalization of production through technologies such as IO-Link or Industrial Ethernet.

Visitors to Anuga FoodTec are cordially invited to visit Endress+Hauser's booth in Hall 7.1 / Stand C-019 to learn more about the latest developments and solutions for the food and beverage industry.

Secure Monitoring of Disinfection Applications

The success of disinfection applications primarily depends on the concentration of the disinfectant used. Endress+Hauser offers the right sensor for measuring free chlorine, chlorine dioxide, and free bromine. Whether in water treatment, bottle or plant cleaning, food washing, or fish farming, the Memosens sensors cover all measurement ranges.

Calibration to Improve Product Quality and Safety

Depending on the requirements for product safety, Endress+Hauser, as a DAkkS-accredited service provider, develops an individual calibration strategy with time-saving concepts and undertakes the associated calibration work – independent of the manufacturer. Secure documentation according to IFS Food, GMP, ISO 9001, or ISO 50001 can be provided via the cloud-based IIoT system Netilion. Endress+Hauser is the first calibration service provider in the DACH region accredited for on-site flow calibrations according to ISO/IEC 17025 and offers a patented process for on-site density calibration.

Fermentation Monitoring and Optimization

A continuous and reliable measurement of fermentation degree, extract, and alcohol content is provided by the Fermentation Monitor QWX43. Thanks to data-based optimization of fermentation processes, the time and effort for laboratory analyses and spindles are reduced. Endress+Hauser also offers the appropriate measurement technology for precision fermentation to ensure high yields in biotechnological production processes. With the help of Memosens technology, the same sensors can always be used from laboratory to large fermenters during process development.
