Optimize Processes, Reduce Costs with Inline Turbidity Sensor or Meter

April 3, 2025

Innovative sensors can provide solutions and drive progress as evident in the value of in-line turbidity sensors and meters for accurate process control. These advanced tools are designed for real-time monitoring, allowing you to optimize your processes for product differentiation, phase transitions, and crucial quality control in the food and beverage sectors.

Turbidity sensors provide continuous insights into your liquid processes. They work by measuring the cloudiness or haziness of a liquid, which can indicate the presence of suspended particles. This seemingly simple measurement unlocks a wealth of possibilities for improving your operations:

  • Precise Product Differentiation: Imagine effortlessly distinguishing between different products like varying fat content in milk, different types of juices, or even beer, wort, and water. Turbidity sensors enable this automation, ensuring correct processing, storage, and filling, ultimately improving product yield and resource utilization.
  • Optimized Phase Transitions: In processes like CIP (Cleaning in Place), turbidity sensors, often combined with conductivity measurements, act as a resourceful solution for precise control. By accurately detecting the transitions between water, cleaning agents, and product, you can automatically stop rinsing when optimal turbidity is reached. 
  • Enhanced Process Control: Consistent quality is paramount. Turbidity sensors provide the data needed for real-time process adjustments. Whether it's monitoring filters for breakthroughs, controlling separator ejections, or making informed decisions on CIP return flow, these sensors empower you to maintain optimal conditions and prevent disruptions.
  • Consistent Quality Monitoring: Ensure your products meet the highest standards every time. Turbidity sensors help maintain desired concentration levels in products like cream, craft beers, and juices, leading to a consistent product experience for your customers.

Nelson-Jameson offers a range of in-line turbidity sensors, such as the ITM series, utilizing advanced measurement methods to suit various turbidity levels, from very low to very high. These sensors are designed for hygienic applications and meet stringent international standards for food processing equipment. They are built with durable materials like stainless steel and sapphire optics to withstand the demands of your production environment.
