KHS GmbH, Germany
Control of O2 content in soft drink blending
In-line O2 Gehaltemeter, type OGM
ENDURING PARTNERSHIP
KHS and Pentair Haffmans have a long standing partnership in the field of measurement technology. In addition to the In-line Optical O2 Gehaltemeter OGM, KHS also uses the Haffmans Bottle Monitor, Keg Monitor and Redpost System for tunnel pasteurizers.
To control the oxygen (O2) content in carbonated soft drinks, Germany-based KHS GmbH uses Pentair Haffmans’ In-line equipment.
The O2 measuring instruments will be integrated into 19 fully automatic, multicomponent mixing systems, type Innopro Paramix C that KHS is building for a leading soft drink producer in the Middle East. Two OGMs will be installed in each mixing unit to monitor the O2 content after the water de-aeration system and in the end product.
“We often use Haffmans proven measuring technology.”
- Alfons Abels-Rümping, Product Manager at KHS’s Competence Center of Process Technology
A wide range of soft drinks as well as mineral water will be blended with the Innopro units. Because the available raw water can contain up to 10 mg/l O2, vacuum degassing in the unit reduces it to a value below 0.3 mg/l.
OPTICAL O2 MEASUREMENT
In this measurement process the fluorescence changes depending on O2 partial pressure. The O2 content is calculated based on the O2 partial pressure and the temperature measured. The measurement cannot be influenced from outside and therefore is not dependent on the operator or the product.
