The recent certification of Exner turbidity and solids concentration sensors by both 3A Sanitary Standards and the European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group (EHEDG) marks a significant advancement in process monitoring instrumentation for the food and beverage industry. These certifications ensure that the sensors comply with the highest hygienic design standards, crucial for maintaining product safety and accuracy in sanitary processing environments.
John Daly, Technical Director at South Fork Instruments, emphasized the importance of these certifications, stating they allow customers to implement real-time process monitoring without sacrificing sanitary requirements. The sensors’ design features, including electropolished 316L stainless steel construction and a surface finish below 0.8 μm Ra, are specifically tailored to prevent bacterial adhesion and ensure complete drainability, eliminating potential contamination points.
With a temperature range suitable for both production and Clean-in-Place (CIP) operations, and resistance to standard cleaning compounds, the Exner sensors are ideal for a variety of applications. These include brewing wort clarification, dairy processing quality control, and pharmaceutical sterile manufacturing. The certifications not only facilitate continuous turbidity monitoring but also support compliance with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) protocols, further enhancing product safety.
The availability of these certified sensors through South Fork Instruments provides food and beverage manufacturers across the Americas with a reliable solution for integrating advanced process monitoring into their operations, ensuring both efficiency and adherence to hygienic standards.
