Application
In the food industry, liquid media such as glucose, fruit juice or syrup must always be kept in stock. To get them ready for the production process, some liquids must be either pre-cooled or pre-heated, while still in the storage tanks. This is done by means of a water-filled ‘jacketed’ container wall that can be either cooled or heated. To ensure uninterrupted production, a reliable level measurement is essential.
