La manutenzione automatica del sensore sta guidando innovazione ed efficienza presso Tereos, una cooperativa agricola francese leader, rinomata per la sua esperienza nella lavorazione di barbabietole da zucchero, canna da zucchero, cereali e erba medica.
Con un impegno verso la sostenibilità e l'alta qualità, Tereos lavora circa 300.000 tonnellate di mais e 77.000 tonnellate di grano all'anno, producendo quasi 520.000 tonnellate di sciroppi di glucosio, amidi secchi, maltodestrine e polioli che servono diversi mercati alimentari, mangimistici e industriali.
One critical aspect of their production process is sustaining accurate and reliable pH measurements, which are essential for product quality and process efficiency.
Recently, a process engineer started working on pH measurements at the facility. He realized that the in-line measurement on some applications was experiencing drift, and that the cause was fouling of the probes.
This fouling was impossible to remove with water rinsing alone, leading to:
METTLER TOLEDO ha una lunga collaborazione nella misurazione del pH in loco con alta soddisfazione riguardo alla qualità dei nostri prodotti e all'expertise del nostro personale. Tereos si è rivolta a noi per una soluzione.
To address the challenges, Tereos implemented the METTLER TOLEDO EasyClean 500 automated sensor cleaning and calibration system.
The results have been substantial:
Additionally, use of the EasyClean 500 system has decreased the total volume of rinse water used, aligning with Tereos’ commitment to sustainability.
Satisfied with the outcomes, Tereos plans to extend the EasyClean 500 solution to a total of six pH measurement systems across the plant.
Tereos are very happy with the results. Cleaning is very effective, and the probe is always calibrated, which greatly improved measurement quality, plus they’ve drastically reduced their maintenance operations.
