From liquid to highly viscous

Unmatched performance in food & beverage processing

Precision Flow Measurement in the Food & Beverage Industry

In the food and beverage industry, precise flow measurement is essential to ensure consistent product quality and efficient production. From low-viscosity fluids like high-alcohol spirits to highly viscous substances such as chocolate, every application demands accuracy to guarantee the right quantity is processed. Additionally, Rheonik Coriolis mass flow meters enable rapid and repeatable measurements, optimizing production efficiency and ensuring smooth operations. Whether it’s the handling of incoming bulk raw materials, transfers between storage tanks, dosing, mixing, filling, or cleaning, Rheonik offers a Coriolis mass flow meter suited for the job.

Challenges in Processing Honey and Chocolate

Highly viscous fluids like honey and chocolate present significant challenges in flow measurement due to their resistance to movement. To ensure an efficient and continuous flow, these substances often require high operating pressures, placing increased demands on flow measurement technology. Rheonik Coriolis mass flow meters are designed to handle extreme viscosities with high-pressure capability allowing precise and reliable measurement even in the most demanding conditions.

 

Flavoring and Mixing – Consistency is Key

In products where taste consistency is crucial—such as gummy bears—precise dosing of flavorings, colorants, and additives ensures that every batch meets the same sensory expectations. Inconsistent mixing can lead to variations in taste and quality, which is unacceptable in large-scale food production. With Rheonik Coriolis mass flow meters, manufacturers achieve ultra-precise dosing control, ensuring that flavor formulations remain identical in every production cycle, batch after batch.

 

Accuracy in the Filling Process

During filling and packaging, every milliliter counts. Overfilling leads to unnecessary product loss, while underfilling can result in regulatory issues and dissatisfied customers. Rheonik mass flow meters provide highly accurate measurement with an uncertainty as low as 0.05%, making them ideal for filling processes where precision and repeatability are critical. With a high measurement frequency of up to 4000 cycles per second, our meters ensure fast, accurate, and stable filling performance.

 

Specialized Materials for Hygienic and Unique Applications

Certain food and beverage applications require materials that withstand aggressive ingredients or meet stringent hygiene standards. Rheonik offers Coriolis mass flow meters built from exotic materials not commonly available from other manufacturers, ensuring compatibility with specific processing requirements. Whether for highly acidic concentrates, hygienic dairy applications, or CO₂-based food flash freezing, Rheonik provides tailored solutions that meet the industry’s most demanding needs.
