Orange juice concentrates are difficult application due to the amount of pulp in it with its high viscosity. In addition, the high sugar content makes frequent cleanings necessary on systems running juice concentrate.
The sampler system, using a Meacon MIK-LDG electromagnetic flow meters, pulled a certain amount of product every 50 gallons. Given the high degree of repeatability of Meacon MIK-LDG electromagnetic flow meters, a certain number of pulses is expected from the electromagnetic flow meter during each sample. If there was a variation from the normal count, the system automatically shut down and a new brix reading was taken.
MIK-LDG electromagnetic flow meters with its simple design allows material such as juice and pulp to pass through it.
