Automated Interface Detection of Beverage Lines by Refractometer and PLC.
Process refractometers are invariably used in place of site glasses for controlling product interfaces when packaging beers, fruit juices and carbonated beverages.

The PRH refractometer manufactured by B+S Process Instruments, a division of Bellingham + Stanley Ltd., is ideally suited for this application and when used with the dedicated Interface Detection Panel provides both automatic and manual control of valves that determine whether product is packaged, re-circulated or discarded as waste.

The panel enables the operator to manage up to three product lines through the application of product limits from a library of 100 fully editable product profiles, accessed by the touch sensitive display screen.

Signal Outputs from the Interface Detection Panel facilitate further integration with existing plant PLC’s, completing the package of automation. Further details can be obtained by speaking with an engineer from B+S Process Instruments.

Because of the nature of process instrumentation, B+S Process Instruments offers a number of accessories to support PRH refractometers as well as providing engineering services such as commissioning, preventative maintenance and the design and manufacture of application specific control panels.

Bellingham + Stanley also offer a range of products in OEM format. For details on any of the services described in this section, please contact B+S Process Instruments.
