Come See Emerson Process Management at Worldwide Food Expo 2005 at Booth #N2714
IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- For today's food and beverage
producers, tight margins are a fact of life. Proper liquid analysis
throughout the process keeps production running reliably and efficiently, and
can mean the difference between profit and loss. Emerson Process Management
today announced it will feature its complete line of Rosemount Analytical
sensors and analyzers designed for the food and beverage industry at the
Worldwide Food Expo at McCormick Place in Chicago, Oct. 26-29, 2005, at booth
number N2714. The Emerson food and beverage industry solutions include
instruments for the on-line, continuous monitoring of conductivity, dissolved
oxygen, pH and chlorine. In particular, the Model Bx438 dissolved oxygen
sensor and the Model 245 flow-through toroidal conductivity sensor are
especially well suited to the needs of food and beverage processors.
The Model Bx438 dissolved oxygen sensor outperforms other sensors by
withstanding more caustic clean-in-place cycles and maintaining its
measurement accuracy. The sensor's rugged electrode construction ensures
stability even after numerous sterilization cycles. Competitive DO sensors
often require maintenance after as few as three to five cycles, but the Bx438
lasts through as many as 30 to 50 cycles. The sensor features a proprietary
steel-meshed, double-layer membrane that's less sensitive to fouling elements
than competitive technologies and enables the sensor to withstand high
pressure and temperature while maintaining high diffusion rates, resulting in
stable outputs and fast response times. In addition, the acidic electrolyte
lasts longer than sensors using alkaline electrolyte solutions. The total
cost of ownership for the Model Bx438, including membrane replacement,
electrolyte replenishment, cathode replacement, and labor, is almost a third
of the cost of competitive sensors.
The Model 245 flow-through toroidal conductivity sensor consists of a pair
of wire-wound toroids that are completely isolated from the process, so it can
endure harsh environments better than conventional sensors that can become
coated since they have electrodes exposed to the measured solution. Designed
to withstand both clean-in-place and sterilize-in-place installations, the
Model 245 sensor is available in four different line sizes ranging from
half-inch to two inches, is manufactured with FDA-compliant wetted materials
(316L Stainless Steel, EP and unfilled-PEEK), and designed to meet 3-A
sanitary standards. The tri-clamp process connections ensure sanitary
conditions and convenient process installation. The sensor isn't sensitive to
flow rate or direction and doesn't obstruct the process flow. Constructed
from highly chemical-resistant materials it is extremely rugged.
"Because of the tight profit margins in food and beverage manufacturing,
our customers require complete production uptime and process efficiency.
On-line, continuous, and accurate liquid analysis of key measurements is
critical to a plant's productivity and profitability," commented John Wright,
vice president of marketing, Emerson Process Management, Rosemount Analytical.
"Emerson's analytical instruments offer unmatched reliability in terms of long
life and reduced maintenance requirements, making Emerson the clear choice as
the single-source provider of liquid analytical solutions for food and
beverage processing."
In addition to the Models Bx438 and 245, Emerson will also demonstrate its
complete line of analyzers, transmitters and sensors for the food and beverage
industry based on 60 years of process analytical expertise and backed by
worldwide customer support. The Rosemount Analytical Models 1055 dual-input
analyzer, 54e analyzer/controller, Xmt two-wire transmitter, and 5081 smart
two-wire microprocessor analyzer feature FOUNDATION(R) Fieldbus and HART(R)
connectivity; low maintenance requirements; and low total cost of ownership.
The Model 499A CL free residual chlorine sensor eliminates wet chemical
analysis. The Model 499A CL features the chemically rugged Noryl body, which
ensures longer life in harsh applications, and a simple screw-on membrane cap
means that no tools are required for routine maintenance. The Model 399 pH
sensor is the industry's most chemically and mechanically durable, and is
specifically designed for long life in such harsh applications as processes
with low ionic-strength water or hydorfluoric acid, high pH, and
reference-poisoning elements.
All of these analyzers, transmitters and sensors are designed specifically
for the requirements of food and beverage processing and are currently
available for order.
