Volume measurement for milkanks / Ultrasone sensor
Volume measurement for milkanks / Ultrasone sensor
BSA has developed a volume sensor for milk cooling tanks. Inside the sensor is an operating unit with display available to make adjustments possible to the sensor and is accessible under the lid. The ultrasonic sensor transmits the measured values using a 4-20mA signal to a computer or a registration system. The output signal can either be level or volume measurement. During the design, special attention was paid to hygiene. The drawbacks are minimal so that after a cleaning session no dirt is left behind.
